Career Counseling Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I have been a therapist and consultant for 32 years, supporting those that are looking for solutions to life's difficulties. Whether it is relationships, internal struggles, career guidance, or family conflicts, I love using evidence-based tools to support the discovery of your solutions. Having worked in the substance use disorder and mental health profession and at the executive level of larger organizations, I have years of practice allowing me to be creative and individualized in supporting your needs.

Now Accepting Weekend Appointments! Feeling stuck on and off the relationship roller coaster again? You have the education, career, but you still feel empty. Maybe you have the house, husband and kids but still feel overwhelmed and alone. You want change. Today. I understand I been there. I want to help you navigate change to become a better you. There is a way out; path towards a more fulfilled life. Anxiety, depression, pressure from spouse and kids or pressure because you have no spouse or kids. It does not have to be this way. Call me lets talk. Lets go on this journey together to create your change.

My counseling approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavioral therapy. There is no greater joy (for me) than helping individuals to overcome mental and emotional barriers/ traumas that impede overall health & well-being. I believe that we are the “Author of our story” and our personal voyage is to own the "Pen" that writes “Our” story. It is important that my clients are provided a safe space, free of judgement, and are given an environment to express themselves. I am committed as a Clinical Therapist to create an emotional environment where change and healing is possible.

On a long enough timeline, anyone can sort themselves out. Time is precious, however, so make the most of yours by reaching your goals more effectively with a therapist. People consulting with me are seeking deeper satisfaction at work and in their relationships, and through our conversations, they can better find their place in their career, speak up more effectively, and connect more deeply with those they love. I have a focus on men's issues, which can be helpful not only for the men with whom I work, but also for women who want a better understanding of themselves and the men in their lives.

Life is a marathon and I believe that it is all about endurance. Sometimes we have to get a little help along the way whether it be a change of shoes, re-uptake of protein or a water break. There is this idea that we are weak when we seek others to help us out, but I also know that in life we cannot always persevere without a helping hand. I look forward to being an option of that new running shoe or Gatorade as we stride through the finish line together.

I work with adult males, with a special focus on fathers. These clients want to examine their beliefs, behavior patterns, and relationships in order to work toward a life where their choices and values are aligned. Potential clients of mine may recognize that something is missing in their life, or they are feeling stuck. You may feel as if you know where you want to be but don't know how to get out of your own way. You might feel as if the stresses of everyday life, job, and relationships are just too much to bear. Potential clients may also value utilizing the therapeutic benefits of nature to help in their wellness journey.

Do you feel stuck? Unsure of your purpose or what you want out of life? I’m here to tell you that those feelings are normal and you do not need to navigate through them alone. Whether you're grappling with career dilemmas, academic hurdles, or simply seeking clarity on your life's purpose, I offer a compassionate and skilled approach to help you chart a course forward.

Leadership is hard. Many leaders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs have had incredibly hard life circumstances, trauma, abuse, or lack of privilege and yet, they have a resilience that pushes them to strive for escaping their circumstances. This resilience and drive is a gift, but it is also a double-edged sword. Many leaders struggle with loneliness, isolation, perfectionism, stress, and people-pleasing. They often have competing demands and roles. They are so much for so many people. As a trauma specialist for a decade, I was surprised at how many of my clients were so driven while coping with really hard things or unhealed past wounds.

In a world full of uncertainty, knowing who you are at your core is essential. This task becomes increasingly difficult with the comparison factor thriving with every swipe on social media. Here is where I can help you individually and as a couple. I can assist you in understanding your emotions, effective communication, career counseling, goal setting, decision making, habit change, conflict resolution, and coping skills.

When life gets stagnant, and you feel your are just repeating the same patterns that for years haven't gotten you very far, therapy is a place you can gain clarity. Friends and family are great supports to lean on, but it's hard for them to remain neutral and see things as an objective outsider. You want to show up better in your relationship, live with integrity, and navigate hard transitions in career, education and love. Therapy is not only for when everything feels so overwhelming it's hard to even move. Therapy is also for when you know you can be stronger, calmer, more at peace.

“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive” – Joseph Campbell

You’re no stranger to achievement. You graduated near the top of your class, carved out a successful career for yourself, and continue to kill it in your professional life. Problem is, when you feel so anxious and unsure of yourself, it’s hard to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create. You struggle to build meaningful relationships because you can never relax enough to be the real you around others. Your work suffers because you’re constantly worrying that others are secretly judging you. And though you’ve practically perfected the art of hiding your distress from others, it leaves you feeling utterly exhausted and alone.

I have spent much of my mental health career serving teens and families. I also have experience working with couples experiencing a range of challenges. I find solution focused and narrative driven approaches to be the most effective and supportive methods.
