Let's get started

At The Ridge Therapy in Charlotte, NC, I provide a range of services to support individuals and couples through life’s ups and downs. Our therapies are designed to help you understand your challenges, gain practical tools, and achieve lasting change. 

Services

Marital & Premarital Counseling

Are you and your partner struggling with communication, trust, or intimacy issues? Are you preparing for marriage? Through the Gottman Method, or PREPARE/ENRICH assessment, research-backed strategies are provided for building and sustaining healthy relationships. We’re here to support you in building healthy partnerships.

Pregnancy, Prenatal & Postpartum Therapy

The emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy and the postpartum period can be overwhelming. I understand the challenges you face and are here to support you through perinatal mood disorders and the physical and emotional changes that accompany this time of life.

Individual Therapy

Struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, grief, stress, or major life transitions? A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy to help you work through difficult emotions and create a more fulfilling life.

Family Therapy

I work with adult family members using a Bowen Family Therapy approach to help improve communication and resolve conflicts by identifying the emotional systems that impact relationships. I work with families to create a healthier, more connected environment for everyone involved.

Grief & Bereavement Counseling

Grief and bereavement aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction to any form of loss, intertwined with many emotions. Loss can be complex and overwhelming; let's figure it out together.

Women’s Issues

Let's explore your identity together! Women may experience certain environmental, psychological, and biological challenges related to gender that have a significant impact on their mental health, sense of self, and well-being. You do not have to endure these challenges alone.

Therapeutic Approaches

I believe in a tailored approach, which is why different therapeutic modalities are integrated to address the complex nature of human behavior. Here are the approaches used to guide your journey to healing:

The Gottman Method

Built on years of research, the Gottman Method helps couples build strong, healthy relationships. The focus is on conflict resolution, improving communication and intimacy, and strengthening the friendship in your marriage.

Prepare/Enrich Premarital Counseling

A research-based program for premarital and marital counseling, Prepare/Enrich helps couples understand their relationship dynamics and provides tools for building a strong foundation for marriage.

Prenatal and Postpartum Support

Pregnancy and the postpartum period come with unique challenges. With specialized training through Postpartum Support International, providing compassionate care and resources for parents coping with perinatal mental health concerns.

Narrative Therapy

I believe in the power of stories. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe their personal stories and discover new, empowering perspectives to move forward in their lives.

Bowen Family Therapy

Family dynamics can be complex and emotionally charged. Bowen Family Therapy focuses on understanding how emotional systems within families influence behavior, promoting healthier, more balanced relationships.
