He earned his Master’s degree in Social work at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Prior to graduate school, he worked in wilderness therapy, primarily with adolescents.

I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.

Welcome! The calming presence of a seasoned therapist can provide much needed respite in an increasingly complex world. At its best, therapy can also help you to get to know yourself better and learn new tools to move forward from a place of self-compassion. I help individuals develop tools to heal from trauma and loss, let go of unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and identify what they most value at work and in relationships. My deep-seated empathy drives my work with clients, which is informed by my 15 years as a licensed professional counselor and three years as a meditation instructor.

I look at your concerns in the context of your childhood experiences, your current family and your life environments. These patterns repeat themselves. People pick up on cues that communicate what you expect out of them and what they expect out of you. These patterns are no accident, you create them! The good news is you can change them! You are like a magnet, and I help you identify what you're attracting and we change your patterns of attraction to healthy ones. It takes practice, but it can be done, and it will affect the rest of your life!

Warm welcome! Would you like to soothe overwhelming thoughts or feelings? Feel more calm and present in the now? My purpose is to help you find relief from anxiety, depression, or trauma that prevents you from experiencing a life worth living. We would collaborate together to treat whatever is on your list of priorities; examples include helping with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, Autism, school issues, depression, mood, low self-esteem or career goals. I work with children, teenagers, and adults from all walks of life. My style is evidence-based, non-judgmental, and sincere.

You are looking for the opposite experience of what I had with my first therapist: stuffy, pretentious, and hypocritical advice from someone that didn’t know or understand me. You are on a therapy directory, which could mean you are already on your journey to closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Excruciating can be an understatement of how painful this gap can be. I’m sure you have already tried many things. I may not be the first therapist you have seen or considered working with about this. I know you need a different experience than what you have had.

I think that we all create our own reality by the unique way in which we perceive and then react to life situations. I’m eager to support clients in seeing “their role” in any life problems they face, and in finding effective ways to create a fulfilling life. I've supported clients having a wide range of problems - eating disorders, conflicted family and job relationships, and dysregulated emotions. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make positive behavioral changes in their lives. I guide my clients in choosing and implementing those actions which will bring them the meaningful results they seek.

Are you living with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, lack of direction, trauma? I believe that we naturally feel a call to live meaningful, loving lives and know intuitively that this is our best path but we often will feel stuck, unsure, fearful and so take no action. Existential therapy calls this a restricted existence and believes the goal of all therapy is to remove the road blocks that are limiting you from moving toward living your best life.

As a licensed therapist and hypnotherapist, I have a wide range of experience with varying ages that include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, self-worth/esteem, negative habits, relationship and family issues, ADHD, and intellectual/developmental differences. I provide a welcoming space for processing what arises in therapy, manage and regulate difficult feelings in a healthy manner, develop effective coping skills, raise awareness of thought/behavior patterns, heal unresolved emotions, and create a plan for life improvement. Unconditional positive regard, warmth, and acceptance are key elements to the therapeutic work

People often think psychotherapy is only for crises. However research shows that therapy is one of the best investments you can make for life satisfaction and growth. In addition to therapy are other modalities that support healing and growth. Some of these holistic wellness tools include exercise, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. I have a rich background in the application of mindfulness to promote healing and growth, and have experience integrating tools such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, CBT, Hypnosis and EMDR. I also find authenticity and humor essential for healing and use both liberally.

My specialties are trauma, anxiety, depression. 21 yrs experience counseling adolescents, adults, couples and families. I do supportive listening, accepting, understanding and compassionate counseling to help problem solve together and cope to focus on healing. Kinds of therapy I do: CBT, DBT, REBT, Art therapy, Play therapy and Christian counseling. Experience: worked with World Trade Center 9/11 survivors, survivors of torture, in a psychiatric hospital, an outpatient clinic, as a clinical supervisor, as a school based therapist, counseled military, their spouses & children at bases in USA, Europe and Japan and private practice.

My approach is rooted in the experience and belief that we have the answers within. I want my clients to not only survive the challenges they are facing, but to thrive and live a life that they love. My clients are often incredibly intelligent, creative, and driven. I have seen my clients accomplish amazing things when they get clear on their goals and apply their gifts toward a fulfilling and meaningful life. My goal is to help you get beneath the layers (often thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns) and get down to your core. Much of our work focuses on aligning your decisions and actions with your own truth.

Life is challenging. It's not always clear where to go or what to do next. If you're struggling with mental health issues on top of it all, life can feel even more overwhelming and painful. I believe there is potential for happiness in all people. Though it may be difficult to see it now, everything you need in order to be happy already lives within you. I'm not here to "fix" you. Instead, I'll help you harness your innate potential.

Do you feel stuck, stalled, and overwhelmed? Do you feel shame, grief, or isolation? You might feel debilitating worry, have chronic sadness, or even struggle to get out of bed every day. You probably feel lost, unsteady, and lonely. Perhaps you don’t know why you feel so empty and dissatisfied, but nothing you try seems to produce long-term changes. Or, maybe you are aware of a particular issue causing you pain, such as an unfulfilling job or relationship, and carry deep self-doubt or shame. This discomfort is the part of you that is longing for something different. But another part feels unsure and uncomfortable with change.

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

As a parent of a teenager, you’re wondering: How can I support my kid to be the best version of themself they can be? Contacting a therapist can be intimidating. But you’re taking an important first step in seeking out that therapist who you can build a trusting therapeutic relationship with to help your teen become the person they believe they can be. I work with clients in a relaxed, natural, and professional atmosphere to collaborate with them to identify the different paths and choices that lay before them so they can be empowered to become the rockstar version of themselves they always dreamed of.
