How can I live without them? This is the question you ask yourself first thing in the morning when the reality of the loss hits you so hard you can't breathe. When you sleep, you might get a break, but not always. Sometimes your dreams are visited by the one you lost, and then you spend your days trying to avoid the heartache.
At the beginning, people were there for you. They moved on, but you can't. Time has passed, and you are still in pain, not knowing what to do. You are scared you will remain frozen in grief, and life will go on without you. There is no map or formula for grief, so what can you do?

My "ideal" client is someone who has made the choice to start, restart, or continue their therapeutic journey. This is someone who is open to being vulnerable in the interest of personal growth. This client attends regular sessions as well as utilizes tools outside of our sessions to maximize growth potential. The "why" is not a requirement to start, but being open to learning more about yourself is. My sessions provide a space free from judgement where you can be your authentic self.

Do you find yourself being the person that everyone else counts on? You get things done, achieve what you set your mind to, and appear “together” on the outside. But inside, it’s a different story. The anxiety is constant, the self-criticism is exhausting, and no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of perfectionism, burnout, or people-pleasing, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

While addressing BPD, or other emotion-regulation-related challenges, I favor DBT.
Trauma has haunted you for years. It’s left you with nightmares and flashbacks. It’s caused you to distrust others and push them away. It’s made you feel broken and hopeless. You’ve tried everything you can think of to shed the weight of the past. You’ve read the books, tried the life hacks… you may have even talked to a therapist. But now, you’re out of options. Nothing has helped you transition from being a survivor to someone who’s truly alive. And you’re all talked out. No matter how many times you tell your story, nothing changes. The search for relief is exhausting. This might be your last shot at trying to get help.

I believe the role of a therapist is to offer unconditional acceptance and walk alongside each client as they work through their issues. There are many different tools to help each client achieve their goals. Setting up a treatment plan with attainable goals with clear direction is essential in the counseling process. Each client comes with their own belief system. I am committed to helping clients find the inner peace that comes through relationships with people and a higher power. I am trained in biblical principles and a Christian, but I am committed to helping each person find their own path and their own beliefs.

Imagine being able to talk to someone about anything without judgement or being told what to do. Visualize that person being a neutral sounding board where you can untangle your thoughts and feelings through difficult and stressful times. Having professional therapeutic support when dealing with anxiety and depression can make such a difference from feeling hopeless and defeated. Working with a professional such as myself can be a rewarding and empowering experience.

When goals are more defined, I draw from CBT, DBT, Jungian perspectives, EMDR, mindfulness, and relational work, always guided by what feels most supportive to you.
Hi, my name is Adam. I'm a LCSW and LCAS living in WNC. I know that living with addiction, PTSD, or anxiety can feel like carrying an unseen weight that you feel with every step. The stress, the trauma, and the endless push to “just keep going” can leave us feeling desperate, stuck, exhausted, and far from the life we want. Many of the people I meet feel a deep distance from themselves and their loved ones, unsure how to reconnect with the life they once cherished. I believe that healing starts in a space where you feel safe and understood.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
