MY STORY

Professional Counseling

Hello, My name is Chris. I am licensed in the state of North Carolina as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology and Counseling; as well as a Masters in School Counseling. I have been working in the field since 2008. Furthermore, I have been working as an Associate and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor since 2014. I have acquired skills and training relating to depression, anxiety, abuse, and trauma-informed approaches. As a former collegiate athlete and coach, I understand the importance of growth and development and working to overcome obstacles to continue to make our way forward in life's journey.

I have had the opportunity to work as an educator and counselor within the public school system. Additionally, I have worked for an Abuse and Family Center. There I gained experience working with children and women who experienced domestic abuse. I have worked extensively with individuals that have experienced trauma. Furthermore, I also was able to work with alleged perpetrators/abusers. I have had the opportunity to engage in sports counseling with the Duke Sports Science Institute. This includes former and current amateur, collegiate, and professional athletes. In my spare time, I love to coach kids in recreational sports. I love to read and travel.

Ultimately, I take great pride in the progress of recovery of others. I am honored to put what skills I have gained to serve you in your journey. I look forward to helping you. Get in touch with me to explore how we can work together to achieve your goals.

Medication Management

The use of psychiatric medications does not cure mental illness. However, the right medication, taken as prescribed, may significantly improve symptoms. Medication Management often helps make other treatments, such as counseling, more effective.

Together, with a medication referral for treatment, individuals will receive a psychiatric evaluation. This information, along with any necessary medical records, laboratory or psychological tests, will lead to the creation of a comprehensive treatment plan. Every plan of treatment developed is unique and will be based on each individual’s concerns and needs.

Marriage/Relationship Counseling

Pre-marital counseling and relationship counseling aims to help couples navigate challenges, strengthen their emotional connection, and build a more satisfying and resilient relationship.
