Male Therapists in North Carolina

There are times in our lives when we need someone safe and objective to talk to. I believe that we have the answers within us and I strive to create a place of safety where you are free to express your hopes and desires. Many times we have themes in our life that recycle in and out. As an objective observer I can gently point those out. At times we may focus too intently on what is "wrong" or missing when we must first start where we are and make peace with who we are.

Are you having issues connecting with yourself and/or partner? Are you trying to find ways to decrease your shame or guilt from struggling with managing your Addiction? Well, you do not have to deal with these issues alone anymore. Healing is not a linear process, but it is indeed a process. It takes commitment, motivation, and hard work to cope with one's Mental Health and Addiction. If given the opportunity, I would be honored to work with you to explore new ways of healing and assisting managing your life stresses.

It has been pointed out to me by clients, colleagues, family and friends that they find it easy to talk to me. It is not uncommon for strangers to share there challenges and successes with me after a few words of casual conversation. If I were to list what I thought allows me to build rapport so easily, I would have to say that I believe it is because people are able to sense that I care about them genuinely. As a therapist, I care about seeing each one of my clients reach the goals that they set for themselves.

I assist adults seeking help with mild dysthymia, situational depression or anxiety, stress, relationship problems, career concerns, loss, meaning, mortality and other existential issues. I tailor an approach specific to your need. Existential therapy is my foundation though I use an eclectic approach and draw upon various therapies. Therapy may be brief in duration or lengthy. It is sometimes uncomfortable - the "price" of honest introspection and change. I don't have your "answer" but will help you seek it. I strive - in the words of Irvin Yalom - to help "remove obstacles blocking the patient's path".

I work with individuals, couples and families ages 12 and up and from all backgrounds. As a therapist, I work with clients to foster their current strengths and help them build new ones empowering them to deal with life's challenges successfully.

I enjoy working with a diverse range of clientele and offer a free initial phone consultation.

My ideal client is an individual who is struggling or feels overwhelmed by life’s challenges. They need support in navigating their emotions and developing coping strategies to improve their mental well-being.
