"Are you or your relationship in a slump? Have you tried therapy before and felt like you didn't get any feedback? Have you had a hard time connecting with your therapist? These are the complaints I hear consistently from clients about previous therapy experiences. I work very collaboratively with my clients to help you learn to rely on yourself and your natural support systems to begin feeling better about life. I encourage all of my clients to find their own ways to manage difficult emotions and find happiness and contentment in their life."

"*NO EVENING AVAILABILITY* I am licensed in North Carolina as a Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 10 years experience. My training, experience and practice include working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self esteem, addiction, and other mental illness so they can live a healthy productive life. My practice is based on Cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy through a strengths perspective. I believe that a significant piece to therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I work in collaboration with the client to identify and help achieve the overall desired goals."

"My approach to the collaborative effort of psychotherapy is influenced by structural/strategic family systems theory, informing the process of joining with clients to clarify their roles in relationship, family, and community. Creative engagement in experiential learning assists individuals, couples, and families in gaining a fresh perspective through our work, in session and out. I endeavor, in every client relationship, to de-mystify the daunting prospect of change, empowering personal choice in difficult circumstances through guided self-exploration. Training and consultation is available to groups and organizations, in the areas of family systems, addictions, crisis response, LGTB issues, and creativity."

"I believe people seek out objective psychological services when they have exhausted their personal resources; it is at that point I find they are open to collaboratively seeking out and finding new ways to resolve their problems. With a Master's Degree from East Carolina University and 30 years experience, primarily in a clinical setting, but some in group care and some in academia, I strive to offer these services in warm non-institutional setting. I have been married to Chuck for 20 years and have 3 wonderful children."

"You feel overwhelmed, confused, & anxious. You usually appear to have it all together on the outside, while inside it never stops. A recent change in your life has shaken you and you no longer know which way is up. Perhaps, you've found alcohol or drugs as a way to cope. Perhaps, this change has brought up past pain that you thought you had moved on from. Regardless of the reason you're seeking therapy, all my clients have one thing in common- they're ready to work their butts off to get better."

"My interest, strength and experience is in working with adult individuals and couples struggling with issues related to relationship conflict, addictions (specialty- gambling) and stressors associated with military life style, including combat related PTSD. I am a veteran of the Vietnam war with more than thirty years experience in the field of mental health. That experience has taught me that "one size does not fit all" in the therapy setting. Accordingly, I employ therapeutic strategies that are client specific."

"It is my distinct honor to work with people who want to heal, and have chosen me to help them do that. Therapy at its best is an empowering and validating experience. In today's world, it is no surprise that many are finding it difficult to handle increasingly complex problems. Talking to friends and/or family only helps so much. And then there are those with limited social supports who understandably find it tough to navigate life alone."

"This life is full of challenges at so many levels, but they can be overcome. Often slowly, but surely. Sometimes quickly. Looking at the thought-emotion-behavior connection is an important part of deciding how to manage the change process. Realizing one's inner strengths and positive attributes is another important part of making each day better, and it means a lot to me to be part of the process. Typically, I offer cognitive-behavioral interventions with related psychological techniques as part of therapy. Family relationships and spirituality are also helpful subjects to include in the treatment process."

"The heartbeat of my work lies in strengthening marriages, helping couples find restoration from bad choices, learning to communicate better, and recovering from the difficulty of affairs.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing support and guidance through life challenges. The road to healing can be found within you. A therapist may help to bring out the best in you, when you are unable to bring out the best in yourself."

"Are you experiencing the pain of not feeling like you can be your authentic self in the world? Have you felt alone in trying to explore your sexual orientation or gender identity? You may be feeling confused or ashamed of the feelings that you are having. You may dislike aspects of your body if your physical body does not match how you feel on the inside. Sometimes these intense emotions can lead to feeling anxious or depressed, which can sometimes lead to wondering how you will ever live the life you want or any meaningful life at all. Please don't give up!"

"Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Our experiences in life although similar are still very individual and unique to each of us. It is normal to experience anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow however; when these emotions are extreme they can prevent us from being fully alive, spontaneous and joyful. It is during these times we may need assistance to better understand ourselves and make necessary changes. I commonly treat individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties that successfully resolve the issues causing these symptoms."
