Originally hailing from the great state of New Jersey, then on to Chicago, and then to North Carolina for the last 24 years, I’ve had extensive experience as a Professional School Counselor for over 16 years. However, before and concurrent with that time I worked in sales, technology, banking (both private and investment), manufacturing, delivery, restaurants…you name it! In addition, I have worked for 4 years as a mental health/medical case manager connecting students and families with care, while ensuring quality educational access. I have extensive knowledge of school system processes and enjoy consulting with families regarding their child’s school experience! I can help you navigate the often complex world of public education. I am a husband of 24 years and a father of 2 very busy teenagers and I have coached or helped coach all the sports!

I currently hold a NC LCMHC-A license and look forward to continuing to counsel, coach, and consult individuals and families in order for them to reach their relational, career, social, educational, personal, and educational goals.

I am also qualified to treat the following mental health conditions: 

• Anxiety

• Depression

• ADHD

• Grief & Loss

• Adjustment Disorder

• Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

In addition, I am also able to help individuals understand and cope with the following issues:

• Children’s School Issues & School Avoidance

• Personal/Professional Stress Management

• Conduct or Behavior Problems with Children

• Social Anxiety & Social Skills

• Parent Coaching - Children & Teens

• Educational Consultation

• Family Relationships

• Marriage or Family Therapy

• Faith-Based Counseling

I utilize a varied and flexible approach, built personally around you, your background, experiences, and life journey that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), life coaching, executive functioning, goal setting, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and more. Relationships and  the trust to be present along the way are attributes I hold in high regard. We will do this together! I have coached, counseled, collaborated, and consulted with professionals, parents, and adults in all stages of  life in work and personal related challenges. Removing the potential stigma around mental health, I seek to engage adults and parents in an honest and responsible journey toward successfully achieving their goals!
