Personal Statement

Quite often people need support and direction to get through difficult moments in their lives. All behavior serves a purpose. When we identify the purpose of behavior, we can identify how to change those aspects of our lives that have become destructive or harmful. This is particularly true when a disease attacks our bodies.

Whether acute or chronic, illness can leave us vulnerable, afraid, and insecure. If we can improve our capacity to cope with illness and other forces that seem beyond our control, purposeful behavior can take a positive turn. Sharing the story of one's illness, seeking and providing support to others, and taking care of oneself are three essential ingredients in coping with health problems and unhealthy behavior. Addressing how people think about themselves, the world, and the future, plays a major role in the therapy process. These are the cornerstones of my work as this partnership takes form.

Our office is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in Mecklenburg County. The primary treatment approach is Adlerian psychotherapy.
