Looking for a therapist to walk with you as you navigate your life and relationships? I grew up and came of age in North Carolina, and have lived in a variety of places across the country. I’ve grown to appreciate the beauty of what North Carolina has to offer, from the Appalachians to the Crystal Coast. I’ve also learned about some of the challenges of finding and celebrating my individuality and autonomy as a gay man in a conservative southern culture that doesn’t always celebrate it with me. It can be a challenge to seek a deeper understanding and appreciation of who YOU are and what values you hold for yourself as you navigate your journey. Whether you live along the coast, in the Triangle area, in Charlotte, the Triad, the Asheville area, or anywhere in between, I’m eager to support you in your quest. Whether you’re seeking to improve your relationship with yourself, others, or your relationship with your career, I’m here to listen and walk with you, in a firm belief that you have what it takes to make your life what you desire it to be.
