Video Game Addiction Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC

I help men of all ages work through social, romantic, family, and career challenges by improving their sense of meaning, knowledge, and self awareness during difficult times. Many of my clients suffer from mental health symptoms (general or social anxiety, depression, anger) that have negative effects on their self esteem and relationships. This creates a feedback loop that feels difficult to break, but is possible to overcome with the right environment, guidance, and an openness to change.

Do you notice your child struggling but aren’t sure how to help? Does seeing your child struggle bring up your own anxieties, frustrations, and fears? In today’s technological, fast-paced world, children and teens face unique challenges, experiencing heightened levels of mental and emotional distress. This can sometimes open old wounds and insecurities for parents, leaving them unsure of how to best support their child. I work with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families grappling with feelings of stuckness, insecurity, anxiety, depression, restlessness, overwhelm, and anger.

My whole career I have worked with teens and young adults. I love working with young folks because they are at a time in their lives where they are constantly growing and changing in so many ways. Sometimes growth can be a real challenge and it can create pain and conflict, but it is my goal to help teens, young adults, and their families to move through these moments and to become the people that they want to be. I work alongside young folks and their families to identify what the major hurdles they face are and then help to figure out how can we all work together to overcome them.

You’ve known easier times, or you know they’re out there and you’re looking for them. You're taking action to feel better in the face of challenge and that’s a big deal. You deserve the support of someone familiar with challenging times. The empathy and proactive engagement you'll come to expect in your work with me, come from a place of understanding the urgency for resolution that accompanies pain. You have the capacity to learn and grow in the ways necessary to find relief, peace of mind, connection with others, and a sense of competence in the activities that are important to you.

You may be educated, even outwardly successful, but struggle to feel good about yourself, have difficulties with close relationships or just want more out of life. I believe it's human to struggle and that we all can benefit from self exploration. You stand to gain, and so does your partner, children, friends, even co-workers when you're bringing more of your best self to the game. My style is active and I bring humor and compassion to help you develop solutions as well as grow from your struggles. A seasoned therapist, my approach is flexible and practical, tailored to meet your needs. I'm LGBTQIA sensitive and welcoming.

I provide individual, couples and family therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I began working in Group Homes in 1986, received my Masters of Social Work in 1990, and became Licensed to Practice in 1992. I employ multiple strategies and interventions to assist clients to reduce disruptive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and move towards productive life goals. ​I specialize in work with children (tantrums, anxiety, hyperactivity), adolescents (oppositional, self-harm, seeking independence from parents but making choices causing dependence), and adults (depression, anxiety, worry, stress, addictions).

You're used to being smart enough to figure things out, but this thing has you stumped. Maybe you're spending more time than you'd like thinking about that thing in your past. Maybe your relationships keep failing in the same way and you're starting to think it might be you (or at least the people you seem to always choose). Maybe you feel like your friends are tired of listening to you vent. Maybe anxiety or sadness is keeping you from doing the things you want to do.

I work best with adult individuals and couples who wish to address any of the following: anxiety; mind-body issues like IBS, chronic pain, back pain, etc; stress and trauma; relationship difficulties, life transitions, cultural differences, or spiritual issues; and depression. Therapy is individualized, determined by each client's personal needs, interests, and goals. My aim is to support and guide each person through his or her own unique journey towards greater health, wellness, wholeness, peace, satisfaction, and fulfillment. My work is guided by a holistic, mindfulness-based approach, resulting in gradual yet sustainable change.

Sometimes life is hard and you need help coping. Sometimes you get angry and you're not sure why or how to control it. Sometimes bad things happen and you can't get over it the way your friends and family expect you to. Maybe you don't really know what's going on, but you recognize that something isn't right. I want to help you figure out what isn't working in your life and get you to where you want to be.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the therapy community for the past 10+ years. I create a safe, comfortable environment to share and explore the thoughts and areas of your life you want to change. My goal is to help you identify the challenges in your life and guide you through the necessary steps with appropriate therapeutic modalities to improve your situation, give you a better quality of life, and foster hope.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it" --Ferris Bueller. If you are looking for strategies to both slow down and move forward, you will find benefit in our sessions. I am a former software programmer and have helped many from the tech industry navigate mental health issues related to their work. Many of the people I work with are seeking relief from social anxiety, management of depressive symptoms and a better work/life balance. Each phase of life presents heightened developmental tasks, need sensitivities, crises, and opportunities for new learning. The Path Begins Here.

The core of effective therapy involves creating a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself. In my work with individual adults and couples, I focus on building this foundation so we can explore those deeper emotions (anger, fear, grief, shame) and promote more supportive connections. My approach is flexible and completely dependent on your needs, but my goal is always to make you feel more whole, whether that means discussing the past, the present, or focusing on the future.

Everyone needs some moments to be heard without judgement. I believe therapy can offer that unconditional space for people. All we need to do is to invest time and effort to come to the space to explore the stories inside of us. Nothing is wrong and everything teaches us something. I am here to witness the process and support self-determination within a safe space where the client and I build together. I take insight oriented indirective approach to help clients to find connections to themselves.

Sometimes people feel unable to move on from things that have happened in their life, stuck in their moods, jobs, or unfulfilling relationships. I work from a primarily psychodynamic point of view to help clients better understand what might be getting in the way of living the life they want. I will value working collaboratively with you to facilitate the healing process. I have extensive experience working with children, college aged individuals, adults, veterans, and seniors with short and long term interventions.

The challenges of life can be overwhelming. Whether you are seeking support or want to better understand yourself, I am here to help. I am committed to helping you build the skills to cope with adversity, navigate the complexities of life, improve your emotional well-being, and work toward finding meaning and purpose. My work with individuals is grounded strongly in a patient-centered/dynamic approach that is informed by various cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
