About me
"Let’s Focus on What’s Next — Not Just What’s Wrong"
~ Hi! I’m a solutions-focused Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), licensed in North Carolina since 2009. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and deeper challenges. My style is practical and collaborative: We’ll explore how your thoughts shape your emotions and behavior, then set realistic goals rooted in what truly drives you. Our work won’t be about staying stuck in problems — it’s about building direction, gaining clarity, and creating momentum. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am available on Betterhelp for LIVE CHAT and MESSAGING therapy only (no audio or video sessions are available). I offer late evening availability most evenings from 9 pm to 12 am. If this fits your preferences/needs, please reach out and let's schedule a meeting!

Russell has been a great steadying influence over the last couple of years he has been my therapist. I appreciate that he takes the time to understand what my concerns are and relate to me on a more personal level than I have experienced with other therapists. Russell, you’re awesome and I can’t thank you enough!
