I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
I have wanted to be a counselor from a young age. I received my undergraduate BA degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado and my graduate degree M.Ed clinical/ school counseling from the University of Phoenix. I also spent two years studying at the Denver Seminary to learn how to incorporate faith into counseling. I started out as a middle school counselor and also worked as a therapist in a counseling clinic. My passions are parent coaching, helping with anxiety disorders as well as depressive disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Charlotte
Finding postpartum therapists in Charlotte starts with choosing someone who has experience with perinatal mental health concerns. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, pregnancy loss, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for specialties that match your needs, such as perinatal mental health counseling, postpartum counseling, pregnancy therapy, or therapy for new parents. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal added training in care during pregnancy and after birth.
Charlotte has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, Dilworth, and Ballantyne, which can make it harder to narrow the search. For new parents, practical details matter. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, commute time, and appointment format can all shape which therapist is a usable fit. Virtual care can make access easier when leaving home is harder, while in-person sessions may work better if you prefer a dedicated space. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for postpartum mental health therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, and many accept insurance. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, session format, and bio, then book directly when you’re ready.
