I believe that when it comes to being depressed, anxious/fearful, or if you are having real problems in your relationship, you want relief and you want it as soon as you can get it. People don't seek a counselor to talk, they go to find a way to feel better, be better and never need you again as soon as possible. That's why I use the methods and principles normally associated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), or Brief Therapy. My training was first as a scientist and science educator. Dealing with people from all walks of life, I came to realize we are far more alike than we are different and that we are all susceptible to being depressed, anxious and having relationship difficulties. I trained in hypnosis to help with obsessive thinking and behavior change (like smoking, overeating, social and other anxieties, etc.), and to become a psychological counselor through the UNC-G graduate studies program. In all that time (beginning to help others in 1989) I came to find that the fastest way to get your life back is to employ the principles and strategies studied and described as CBT. Whatever you call it (several names can be applies), taking a more practical, here-and-now approach with understanding what your problems are and creating a plan of action to make them better is the most direct and most successful way to make things better. It places the power of control and to heal right in the hand of the individual, not a therapist, not a drug...you. We all know that it isn't always easy. And being realistic means we acknowledge that sometimes it can be mighty tough. The wonderful part of it is that with the right therapist, this approach is tested and proven, and gives you a real reason to hope and be encouraged that, while it might take some time, you can get better. After years of practice, the passion to help others translated in my authorship of nearly two dozen training courses in subjects like gaining emotional control, resolving conflicts, dealing with people that are very hard to deal with, leadership, management, and others. I also authored Ready Access CBT for Working Professionals (Lorman Education) to share what I know with other therapists, and a book to bring these principles to the public titled, Naked Thinking. I focus my help for those who are suffering with depression and anxiety problems (which can include transitional issues like loss of a job, a relationship, speaking up for yourself, speaking to groups or just your boss, etc.) and relationship problems (which can include marital and couples problems, family issues, work and co-worker issues, etc.)

Who do you go to when life hurts? What do you do when problems arise? Where do you go when the stigma of traditional counseling is not an option? I am here to assist you with online counseling. I counsel individuals, couples, and families. I have been in private practice since September, 1999. I have been a board Certified TeleMental Health counselor since 2014. I believe that each of us have the ability to heal our hurts through forgiveness and the mending our broken hearts. Some of the issues that I work with are substance abuse, depression, forgiveness, anger, relationship issues, sexual assault, domestic violence, PTSD and career choices. I guess I'm considered a generalist although I'm trained in domestic violence, sexual assault, substance abuse and career counseling. When we look at those areas in our lives, many issues arise such as depression, anxiety, relationships, communication, anger, divorce and others. I believe that God has called me to heal the broken hearts so that we can live again. I believe that there is value in each of you and sometimes we can't see our self worth because of our pain.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and my background includes working with adults, adolescents, children, married couples and parents from different socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. I have provided a variety of mental health services including working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, anger management issues, family conflict issues as well as parenting issues. I would consider myself to be eclectic and use techniques from several different therapy modalities. Most often I use techniques associated with the Cognitive-behavioral approach, which focuses on identifying the client’s current pattern of thoughts, recognizes potential areas of change or improvement, and modifying behavior. I understand that as individuals we operate within the context of our family structure, cultural background, social environment and religious beliefs. I utilize mindfulness techniques along with Cognitive behavioral approach as well as Solution focused therapy and Person-Centered therapy. During the process of therapy we will address areas of concern, devise a plan to resolve those issues and learn new effective coping skills while considering all the aspects of who you are as a person. My philosophy as a therapist is that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion for their own unique situation. I believe in respecting and honoring all people in the most positive and supportive way I can. I recognize that every situation is different and when someone reaches out, they are willing to move toward change for a happier life. I look forward to working with you to fulfill what change will look like for you. Let’s start the journey together!

I am a dually licensed clinician in North Carolina and possess an additional license in Florida as well. Having started my education later in my adult life, I believed I had arrived late to the game. But I found that life experience paired with my own belief system, allowed me the opportunity to view life's challenges through a unique lens. Throughout my career I have held different positions in mental health. I started at the bottom, and through my education worked my way up, and, because of that I have been able to experience different perspectives while working with this population. I have experience working in addictions residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient Programs, facilitating support groups, teaching life skills, as well as speaking engagements, Through a Christian approach I have worked with many individuals struggling with low self-esteem, purpose, guilt and shame, and a variety of other life's obstacles and helping clients resolve them. I believe in using a collaborative approach in helping my clients. In addition to my Christian counseling experiences, I also use a multitude of other evidence-based practices, including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Therapy.
