With experience working with teens, young adults, men in recovery, and individuals dealing with trauma, I bring a holistic, client-centered approach to counseling that considers every aspect of your well-being—mind, body, and spirit.
In our sessions, we will explore patterns, build new skills, and work toward the goals that matter to you. As a Christian, I believe in integrating bio-psycho-social-spiritual principles to support mental health across all stages of life. I can utilize a Biblical counseling approach if requested.

Accepting New Clients Now Immediate Availability: So often it seems we're our own worst critic and worst enemy. Well intentioned friends and family members may try to help by reassuring us, but their words can seem distant and hollow, particularly when we are so acutely aware of our own failings. I have specific interest and expertise in treating clinical depression, I help individuals address behavioral, personality and growth issues related to anxiety and depression, and support those seeking to change habits. I am skilled at helping people understand dreams and resolving ambivalence surrounding a goal.

I’m originally from Ohio where I attended college and began my counseling practice. I worked in Dallas, TX and Wilmington, NC before settling in Apex, NC. Clients who I see are typically having a hard time with at least one important life issue. They are feeling overwhelmed which is impacting most other parts of their lives. They want to think, feel and do better and that’s what I help them do.

Is it a wound of betrayal, agonizing loss, anxiety or depression from childhood trauma, anger protecting a deeper sadness? The wound is the way.

I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.

In over 30 years of practice, I have helped individuals and couples with anxiety and depression related to relationship trauma. I have helped couples rediscover their love and commitment to one another. I have also helped couples divorce with kindness and respect. I have helped individuals recover from the loss of their primary relationship and forge a new vision for their future. I have helped many people with childhood trauma integrate those experiences, develop a new sense of self, and create a life worth celebrating.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
