A gentler way back to yourself.

I support women who feel disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed by self-doubt, or stuck in cycles of coping and control — helping them rebuild trust, safety, and wholeness from the inside out.

Trauma-informed expressive arts therapy for women in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Trauma-Informed Therapy for Women in Charlotte, NC

I offer trauma-informed expressive arts therapy for women in Charlotte who are navigating trauma, perfectionism, body shame, and complex relationships with food or control. My work is relational, body-centered, and paced to support safety and self-trust — especially for women who feel unseen or disconnected from themselves.

A Relational, Body-Centered Approach to Healing

Healing doesn’t happen through insight alone. In our work together, we pay attention to your body, emotions, and inner experience — not to fix or override them, but to listen with curiosity and care. This approach supports nervous system regulation, self-understanding, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself over time.

When Coping and Control Are No Longer Working

Many women come to therapy after years of holding it together — managing, achieving, or controlling to feel safe. You may struggle with perfectionism, chronic self-monitoring, anxiety around food or your body, or a constant sense of pressure to “do better.” Therapy provides a space to soften these patterns and explore what lies beneath them, at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

Without the right tools or support, life can begin to feel like a series of endless hurdles, each one harder to overcome than the last.

What my clients say

My teen daughter has never been this healthy. We have been fighting this for years with other eating disorder therapists. None were able to get it right until you.
