From time to time, life presents itself as a series of obstacles with some higher than others. I prefer to see problems as a positive challenge to embrace life and seek positive growth that we can do for ourselves. Seeking help is hard enough, and it's my job to ease the process by offering my clients a warm, empathetic, and safe place to address their challenges. If you are struggling with a particular issue, or prefer a safe place to express yourself, I am happy to help you explore your issues.
I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina since 2007 (we were originally called Licensed Professional Counselors, but that changed a few years ago). During my career, I have worked with adolescents and adults. In any therapeutic interaction, it is important to initially develop a relationship with my clients to develop an environment that promotes empathy, understanding, and support. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, various approaches drawn from Narrative Therapy, Redecision Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing strategies. We will discuss these approaches to match your needs and preferences while we are in session together.
My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addiction, chronic pain and health issues, trauma, bereavement, disability-related issues, and adjusting to many of the challenges that life presents us. I use a client-centric approach (meaning YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your strengths and abilities.
I look forward to meeting you and speaking with you!

Ronald is a great therapist, my journey of self-improvement and self-discovery has been satisfactory and amazing… I initiate the therapy with a broken heart and I expected to heal but I never expected to become a better person in general. Ronald is understanding and kind whereas at the same time has a firmness that helps me to move forward. Also, Ronald has a unique understanding of LGTBQ people a relationships which is great, beside an incredible insight of Latin American culture and perspectives.

I cannot speak highly enough about how thankful I am to have had Ron guide me through a very difficult time in my life related to relationships and loss. He listens, offers amazing advice, and makes you feel comfortable talking about the most sensitive topics. He helped me achieve my therapy goals and genuinely cared about my progress.
