About me
With over 30 years of dedicated experience, I’m a seasoned psychotherapist committed to assisting adults through life’s toughest challenges. Specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma, I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique journey.
Welcome to Montgomery Counseling Group in Charlotte, North Carolina. With over three decades of experience as a psychotherapist, I've dedicated my career to helping adults navigate life's most challenging moments.
At our practice, we recognize that everyone sometimes faces difficulties, and we're here to support you with personalized care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma using proven therapeutic approaches, including Eye Motion Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Clinical Hypnosis, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Dr. Milton Erickson's groundbreaking work deeply influences my therapeutic approach, which emphasizes the importance of tailoring treatment to each individual's unique story and needs. Every person who walks through our doors brings their own experiences, challenges, and strengths. That's why I create a customized therapeutic journey for each client, ensuring our work together honors your narrative and inner wisdom.
In our collaborative environment, you'll find a space where your story is heard, your experiences are valued, and your path to healing is uniquely yours.
