Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Perhaps the stress of daily life, relationships, or your career is causing your quality of life to suffer. These feelings can cause distance in relationships, negatively impact your mood, and can lead to developing unhealthy coping mechanisms such as addiction or isolation. If this resonates with you, you certainly are not alone and I’m glad you found this page.

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. Clients have found that my style - warm, informal, humorous, and honest - helps reduce anxiety about the process of therapy. I utilize proven, research-based approaches, while incorporating Eastern philosophy, meditation, neuroscience and mindfulness-based practices into my sessions.

I am a Charlotte native and neurodivergent psychotherapist. I help clients find meaning, connection, clarity, and purpose. I work with clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, PTSD and neuropsychiatric disorders, specifically ADHD and OCD as they deal with life transitions. I prioritize providing a safe unbiased space for persons coming into therapy for the first time or for those coming back into care. I believe that good therapy is derived from a collaborative approach that is used to develop a true sense of self, highlight strengths/coping mechanisms, and foster positive change in the lives of my clients.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

I believe we are all recovering from something. As a clinician, I believe that a healthy nonjudgmental relationship is foundational to each of our healing journeys. Having someone who we can be honest with, who is honest with us, allows us to be honest with ourselves and reach our ultimate potential. While the therapeutic relationship is our foundation, I incorporate elements of motivational interviewing, solution focused, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies in order to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Anxiety takes various forms-tension, sleeplessness, or racing thoughts. If these signs disrupt your life and hinder your ability to enjoy daily activities, it’s crucial to recognize that you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety is not always a bad thing. It is our bodies natural reaction to the environment around us. We do not face the same dangers that we did thousands of years ago, but we still have the same alert system. For some people, this reaction is far stronger than what the situation calls for. By acknowledging and addressing anxiety’s impact, you’re taking a proactive step towards self-discovery and empowerment.

Has your life lost its color? Do you find yourself experiencing less joy and interest in pretty much anything? Do you struggle to recognize yourself in the mirror? Simply put, things don't feel how they used to, and these feelings are starting to become concerning to you and those that love you. Although you have tried to cope and find solutions to these “new” feelings, they have not been successful and you are starting to lose hope. As everything else in your life seems to be slowly falling apart, you keep trying to "push through," but these feelings keep blocking your way to the life that you want.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
