I am licensed in North Carolina with 4 years of professional counseling experience and 18 years of experience as a Military Chaplain. I specialize in trauma counseling and couples counseling. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals. At the heart of my therapy is the desire to help people form strong emotional connections with their significant others and recover from the damaging effects of trauma. Areas of treatment have been in the following: adjustment, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, dysfunctional family dynamics, grief and loss, attachment issues, marriage issues, stress and anger management, sexual abuse, and trauma. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
