It can be hard picturing yourself being completely vulnerable with a stranger, I know. One constant in my treatment delivery: openness, acceptance, and transparency. Come as you are; we will work through the rest. Oh, and by the way I didn't pick this Karen haircut. I had cancer. All good now.

Sometimes folks feel really nervous or awkward when reaching out to start therapy. They don't know what to say or how to start. If that sounds like you, don't worry you're not alone. I'm here to make that first contact as painless as possible. I've been told that I'm good at engaging folks that are hesitant or uncertain about the process. Therapy occurs at your pace with you choosing how much or little you want to share. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to grow and learn about yourself and gain tools to help along your way. I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, a bit of humor, and lots of metaphors.

I also enjoy assisting other professionals by providing clinical supervision in North Carolina (CADC, LCAS-A, LCAS) and South Carolina (AADC, LAC). Sport and Performance Coaching and Mentoring are available.

Men and women are trapped with porn addiction, and I am committed to help you as a person find the true path to restoration.

Tired of repeating the same thing with life, feeling stuck with no hope in sight? Seems like more is going on? I focus on treating co-occurring addiction & mental health issues in addition to my work with providing psychological evaluations & testing. Not knowing why you keep doing or feeling the way you do and how to make changes in your life is beyond frustrating. It can be overwhelming, leading to feeling helpless and hopeless. When navigating the reasons for ongoing suffering and relapse, there is hope. In depth counseling and assessments can be the catalyst to promote change and I can help.

Our intrinsic need to adapt and evolve is a double-edge sword. We have developed coping skills that helps us survive external demands, modern society poses a threat to our way of living because we have not been able to catch up. We still behave the way we did thousands of years ago because we have not learned to discriminate between past and present. Let's explore the causes and mechanisms that make your problems what they and create a plan to confront and resolve those issues to protect your mental health. I use an integrative approach to therapy that I call Behavioral Medicine.

If you are experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, trouble with life transitions, relationship challenges, or grief/loss, I would be honored to help.

Evidence-based techniques are utilized, and I strive to provide feedback in each session and reflections to offer perspective. Empathy, respect, and patience are the foundations of the treatment modalities I implement. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and trusting atmosphere to facilitate therapeutic growth.
