Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Life doesn't always go how we think it should. We face difficulties - maybe with a spouse or co-worker, maybe within ourselves. I strive to create a safe and warm place to help you though challenges, such as anxiety, anger management, grief, depression, communication skills, low self-esteem, life transition, relationship issues, and spiritual/religious questions. Having been married for 15 years, I enjoy helping married couples to find a healthy relationship. Combining compassion and directness, I work with you to explore the difficulties and change them. I enjoy integrating Christian faith and counseling, if desired by the client.

We are a group of counselors who are dedicated to the well-being of our clients as we practice professional counseling from a Christian perspective. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, losing a loved one, challenges at work, having hard time parenting your children or dissatisfaction in your marriage - we provide a safe place for you to come individually, as a family, or as a couple to explore the issues you might be experiencing, gain new perspective, and work on overcoming your difficulties. While taking an integrative approach to therapy, we welcome all people who seek counseling, regardless of religious background.

I offer Doctoral-level therapy with a specialized focus on working with Men. Anxiety, Relationship/Sexual Issues, Depression, College/Young Adults, Motivation/Focus, Social Anxiety, Assertiveness, Anger, Porn/Sexual/Gaming Addictions, Career, and Spirituality are concerns I often address. Sometimes issues look different in men and go unrecognized, or need a different approach. With clients I draw from 17 years in the field, applying a unique blend of thought-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), practical Reality/Choice Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy (exploring underlying influences), and Gottman Method (for relationships).

My therapy approach is very collaborative. I believe you are the expert of your life and I will work with you to achieve your goals. Research clearly indicates that having a good relationship between the therapist and client is crucial for positive outcomes to occur. I am compassionate, an empathetic listener, and I strive to create a space that feels comfortable for you to express yourself. In a safe environment, together we will explore, process, and learn what can be done differently in order to achieve greater satisfaction and peace.

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life.

The typical clients I work with are like you and me, usually have successful careers, have a faith orientation, although not always, and have a tremendous longing to find, repair, or revitalize something gone wrong in themselves or in relationship with those closest. They are individuals and couples who are hurting at their core, who want more than just a quick fix, a few techniques, or merely a listening ear. They want answers, real, deep, transforming answers. They realize deep down that it is probably going to take longer than they want or expect. But, they are longing and willing to do whatever it takes to get to a better place

Does life feel overwhelming? During this crazy and stressful time do things feel like they are more than you can handle? Do you see your work, relationships and quality of life being impacted? This can happen to any of us!

You might feel stuck in your life or in unmanageable feelings or in a relationship or in your healing process. I want to help you find a safe place to get clarity, to explore your feelings and concerns, to receive honest constructive feedback and support. I will invite you to be an active participant in your own growth and change. This might include sharing your story, exploring feelings and sometimes doing projects outside of sessions such as reading, journaling, information gathering or making changes. I want to help you to trust your effectiveness in relationships and to feel more alive and to live out of your whole self.

Does it sometimes feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Have you experienced an affair or some other kind of infidelity? Connecting to our partner begins with understanding our own wants and desires and learning to communicate with one another in the most effective way possible. Relationships can give us a lot of comfort, but to be their best, they require hard work - and some guidance every now and then.

Are you struggling with either personal or relationship difficulties? If so, I would like to help. When combined with hard work, professional counseling can help you overcome almost any problem. Instead of always feeling "stuck," it's time you began experiencing more joy, fulfillment and direction in your life - you know, the good stuff. I am a Level 3 trained Gottman Couples Therapist. I am a LGBT+-affirming therapist and I work with couples and adults from diverse backgrounds.

My passion is to work with those who have struggled with the challenges of life; trauma, addiction, relationship issues, mood disorders, grief, attachment, career issues or any stress contributing to anxiety. They may have sought therapy in the past and have become discouraged, for whatever reason. The foundation of therapy is the therapeutic alliance. When one suffers various disorders, life becomes dull and motivation to live according to one's values instead of one's fears is threatened. It is critical that the therapist be attuned to the worldview of the client to facilitate healing, self acceptance and self compassion.
