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.

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

Hey, I am John; but you can call me Jake. Life knows how to mix up its pitches. The person we are today might not be the person we need to be tomorrow, or even want to be. I was blessed to play football collegiately and transitioning from my role as an athlete after school posed identity challenges, and gave me unique insights into redefining oneself. Helping you navigate life changes, and the anxiety that follows are my passions in treatment. Whether career shifts, relationship changes, or just plain old growing up and adulting, we can work to transition with clarity and confidence.

I enjoy meeting clients right where they are and partnering with them to consider and predict the natural consequences which come to bear based on choices. My approach to therapy integrates mindfulness with solution-focused and reality-based approaches. I am EMDR trained as well and we can incorporate this as needed. Often we are driven into counseling either by an internal or external demand which no longer allows us to exist as we are. Counseling is about making a choice to manage life differently, or not--and not making a choice, is nevertheless still a choice.

Hi, If you are looking for an addiction specialist then you have come to the right place. I have more than 25 years experience in the addictions field. I am a native New Yorker and have been living in North Carolina for the past 18 years. I know how overwhelming it is to reach out to a therapist for the first time. It like stepping into the unknown and that can be a good thing at times. Don't allow society's stigma to stagnate you from getting the help you need I believe that counseling is a collaborative endeavor that requires me to be a non- judgmental ,honest, compassionate and caring therapist.

Society is unforgiving and relentless, making it difficult for men and women alike to navigate their roles. Men often struggle to be themselves, fearing the label of being oppressive. Women find it challenging to recognize their worth and incorporate positive influences into their lives. Families strive to connect, yet often lack the skills to communicate effectively with their spouses or children. In these trying times, help is essential to overcome both psychological and spiritual struggles.
