I moved to Charlotte from the west coast 25 years ago. I come from a military background and worked in corporate America before completing my degrees in Psychology, Sociology and Marriage and Family Therapy. In my free time, I gush over dogs on Instagram, love sports (go Cowboys & Tigers!) and enjoy riding my motorcycle in the beautiful Carolina weather.

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You have everything within you needed to succeed. Beyond my clinical experience, theoretical knowledge, and rigorous academic training, I enjoy hearing your story. Understanding the context of your life, what’s brought you to this point and where you’d like to go from here.

About Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT)

MFT’s have specialized training in relationship dynamics and bi-directional influences. Systemic Clinicians are prepared to support individuals, couples, and families by deconstructing non-productive communication and cyclic reactionary patterns. Through the therapy process, a multitude of theoretical frameworks are used to establish effective communication and support healthy relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself.
