LCSW, 6 years of experience
What if you could become a mental gymnast, capable of flexing your mind to navigate challenges with resilience? What if I said that many emotional obstacles arise from a tension between our rational thoughts and the instincts shaped by our life experiences? Mental flexibility is key to resolving this inner conflict and promoting emotional well-being. As a North Carolina-based therapist specializing in mental health and substance use issues, my approach centers on meeting you where you are and establishing a foundation of trust and collaboration. I draw upon a blend of Humanistic, Interpersonal, Cognitive, and Behavioral theories to offer a tailored therapeutic experience. With a background in various settings like outpatient care, hospitals, and corrections facilities, I’ve refined my expertise in treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Taking the initiative to seek help is a brave act of strength that paves the way for transformative change over time. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
In our first session, I will get to know you and what’s going on and help you feel empowered to come back and work collaboratively with me. in our first session, I will get to know you and what’s going on and help you feel empowered to come back and work clabber like with me.

Matt is extremely talented and caring but very disengaged during appointments. He seemed to being going through something himself. If he works through his own issues, and becomes engaged during appointments he could be one of the best providers. I had appointments where he was laying in bed, or driving, or just didn't seem like he wanted to be there. He's so talented once he gets it together, he could make a killing because he is very knowledgeable. He didn't offer a treatment plan.

We never made it past the "getting to know you phase". He was nice enough, but didn't really offer any helpful advice during our complered sessions. Maybe he is going through something himself.

Great talk with Matt. This was the first conversation but definitely looking forward to how things grow.
