| Practice Description: |
Are you looking to solve a personal or relationship problem, to manage depression or anxiety, or to heal the hurt of a loss? My practical, and positive approach has helped hundreds of people like you. I have 30 years of social work experience and a calm, gentle personality that will put you at ease. I have had extensive training in marital therapy from both John Gottman and Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy and cognitive-behavioral training with David Burns. I volunteer with the American Red Cross, and teach meditation classes in the community.
I have a compassionate, caring style that begins with listening carefully to the issues and deciding together with you on goals for therapy. Drawing from a range of approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and psycho-educational, I also incorporate relaxation and meditation techniques into the therapy.
You will feel comfortable coming into the beautiful Victorian house in the quaint Dilworth community where I am in practice with 4 other therapists. It is close to downtown Charlotte and to I-77 and I-85. Our friendly office manager Christine schedules appointments, files insurance, and assists with other business issues.
