Hi, I'm Matthew, your individual and couples therapist, specializing in relationships. I'm a licensed counselor, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and deeply curious about people. I find that when we have space, we can learn to be fully alive. Therapy can be that space for you. If you are ready to be curious about yourself, why you do things, and create a life you love, please reach out.
I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.
My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Raleigh
Finding addiction therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. You may also want a therapist who can coordinate with a prescriber if medication is part of your care plan.
Raleigh offers a range of mental health care options, and the right fit depends on more than specialty alone. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, or campus, or virtual appointments that give you more scheduling options across North Carolina. Recovery does not follow one fixed path, so it can help to look for a therapist whose bio mentions nonjudgmental support, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or experience with co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. You can also compare appointment times, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.
Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing support easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, so you can find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has time available.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
