Bisexual Therapists in Quail Hollow, Charlotte, NC

Helping men is the primary focus of my practice, and I also see couples. Anxiety, Relationships, Sexual Issues, Depression, Young Adults, Motivation/Focus, Social Anxiety, Assertiveness, Anger, Infidelity, Porn/Sexual/Gaming Addictions, and Career are concerns I often address. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method (for relationships), and other relevant skills to help you enact change. This is a space to talk freely without judgment, with a Doctoral-Level Therapist who's helped navigate the challenges we face, sometimes uniquely as men, for almost two decades.

You’re here because you’re tired of living in the same old patterns; I’m ready to help. Therapy can be a powerful tool in this process by helping you gain insight, support, and confidence to develop new patterns and behaviors. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify the sources of their pain and empower them to resolve them. You're not alone & things can improve. And if you’re wondering if now is the right time, it probably is.

You’ve tried to push down painful experiences from your past for years now, but they just keep rising to the surface. You may feel powerless – like the part of you that feels hurt, worried, guilty, or ashamed is in control. The exhaustion from it all is overwhelming. And you recognize that it’s taking a toll on your wellbeing and impacting the relationships you care about most. But you don’t know what to do. Fortunately, change is possible. I am here to sit alongside and support you as you face this new experience head on, at your own pace. You are resilient and worthy of healing.

Feeling stuck, going through life on autopilot, or just overwhelmed with everyday tasks or responsibilities? With your permission, I would love to assist you with finding meaning in everyday life again and be fully present. Investing in yourself is the first step. Let’s develop a plan of action to motivate more immediate changes in behavior. I am currently accepting new client for therapy and new clinicians for supervision.

Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You can create change. You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.

Many individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community are yearning for freedom and healthy connection, yet life experiences can make this a challenging task. Honoring the intricate beauty and complexity of LGBTQIA+ relationships, therapy becomes a sanctuary—a safe and secure space to untangle and mend complexities. Together, we will work to enhance the overall quality of your relationship with self & others, focusing on healthy boundaries, effective communication, growth, strengthened connections, choosing family, navigating difficult transitions, and breaking dysfunctional cycles while respecting the unique aspects of LGBTQIA+ personhood.

As a psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals ages 18+ to help them explore what has led to current life difficulties and to work toward the changes they desire. I am a generalist in that I work with many different presenting issues from relationship difficulties to anxiety and depression. However, I have developed particular interest in working with trauma, adult survivors of childhood abuse, cancer issues, spiritual concerns, and with people with intuitive and empathic gifts. I take an integrative approach to my work drawing heavily on interpersonal, psychodynamic and mindfulness -based cognitive therapy models.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker in Clinical Practice with Avance Care in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Feeling overwhelmed or dissatisfied with your life? If you have experienced trauma, whether recurring or as an isolated incident, sometimes the typical stresses of a normal day can provoke anxiety, fear, anger, or withdrawal. Therapy can give you the tools to deal with life's challenges and can enable you to minimize your stress levels while continuing your personal growth. I support you in exploring ways to increase happiness and well-being while you integrate lasting, positive changes in your relationships with others, and most importantly, with yourself.

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals to assist them in bringing about meaningful change. Being sick is not a requirement to seek counseling. My goal is to help manage the changes and transitions that are part of everyday living. My intention is to teach strategies to help people gain and maintain wellness. I will provide you with confidential treatment tailored to your specific needs. I provide counseling and coaching to adults. I am happy to speak with you prior to scheduling an initial appointment to answer any questions.

Hi there! I respect that the therapeutic process is unique to each individual and is a cooperative relationship. In consideration of this, I utilize a variety of approaches with an underlying warm, person-centered approach. Throughout my approaches, I believe that it is through the courageous exploration of the self that patterns and belief systems may be understood and challenged for a more fulfilling quality of life. In addition, I can also offer expressive arts therapy (i.e. therapeutic journaling, collaging, visual art), which assists when words may yet be insufficient. This is optional. I can also utilize hypnotherapy.

I work with couples using the Gottman Method and am also AASECT certified therapist and treat all sexual disorders, both with couples and with individuals. I treat all relationship issues, including affair recovery, out of control sexual behavior and ambiguity about whether or not to stay together. I specialize in addressing all kinds of intimacy issues, physical, emotional etc. As a sex therapist I treat desire discrepancy within a couple, erectile difficulties and problems with orgasm, along with any other sexual issues. I feel uniquely qualified to help couples as sexual issues are so often a part of a problematic relationship.

There are times in our lives when we need someone safe and objective to talk to. I believe that we have the answers within us and I strive to create a place of safety where you are free to express your hopes and desires. Many times we have themes in our life that recycle in and out. As an objective observer I can gently point those out. At times we may focus too intently on what is "wrong" or missing when we must first start where we are and make peace with who we are.

Throughout our life's journey, we encounter a multitude of experiences. Some may contain extreme joy and happiness, while others can manifest feelings of doubt, sadness, anxiety or questioning if change or healing is possible in our current circumstances. During these difficult seasons we need the courage and perspective to explore challenging questions and the willingness to listen to the answers that emerge. My goal is to empower my clients and develop a rapport which promotes the confidence, skills and change agents needed to progress towards a direction that nourishes emotional and physical well-being.

It is miserable to feel stuck. Stuck in the past, stuck in moving forward, stuck in depression or anxiety. We all want to feel a sense of purpose, and that we can live fully in the present and have a vision for the future, no matter our circumstances. There are a number of things that can make us feel stuck, such as trauma, unresolved grief, regrets, shame, broken relationships, and a fear of failure. Sometimes couples feel stuck in working through difficult issues and the resulting anger and hurt. We all go through these times in our lives and may come to a point when we realize that we need some help to move forward.

I help people who are stressed, anxious, depressed and traumatized find more joy and peace in life. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, frustrated, or stuck? Do you avoid stress by compulsively checking your phone, consuming hours of media, or staying in bed for extended periods of time? Do you have trouble sleeping even when you’re tired? Are you stressed over competing demands from work, home and relationships? Do you need a break from your negative thoughts? Do you need someone who will really listen and understand? I will show you how to be mindful, so you can take your life back and heal your relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been helping people in the Charlotte area make essential changes in their lives for 21years. I believe that a frank and gentle approach which values the therapeutic relationship is the key to facilitate individual change. My approach is an active one in which I work with the client to find resources and experiences that create a sense of hope within. I have two major areas of focus: life span issues in adults; adjustment problems in children and adolescents. With each group I cultivate a sense of humor and an ability to play as part of my therapy.

I enjoy working with clients from all ages, cultures and backgrounds. I believe mental wellness is an essential part of living a balanced and full life.
