There is a lot to be said about the complexities of life, especially when the beliefs, roles, or stories that once held someone together begin to feel strained or no longer fit. Some people come to counseling because they are hurting or confused. Others seek counseling because something meaningful is shifting and they are unsure how to navigate the tension that comes with change.

Kyle is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) who works with individuals and couples ages 13 and up. He is particularly passionate about working with clients who are wrestling with faith, spirituality, or the impact of religious experiences, including religious leaders navigating doubt, burnout, or transition. Kyle holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University and a Master of Divinity from Gardner-Webb University. Through both his clinical training and ministry experience, he understands how deeply faith can shape identity and how disorienting it can be when that foundation begins to feel unstable.

Kyle’s approach to counseling is relational, thoughtful, and practical. He draws primarily from Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and has completed additional training in Internal Family Systems through PESI, as well as training in Sand Tray therapy. He believes people often live in accordance with the stories they hold to be true about themselves, others, and the world. Because of this, he pays close attention to each client’s story, values, and lived experience. When appropriate, Kyle also incorporates creative and expressive elements, including music, to help clients access emotion and meaning that may be difficult to reach through words alone. Therapy is not focused on quick fixes or forced clarity, but on slowing down, making meaning of what has been carried for a long time, and developing healthier ways of responding to life as it is now.

Kyle offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space for clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning long-held beliefs they may never have felt free to question before. Those interested in beginning counseling or learning more are encouraged to reach out to see if working together might be a good fit.
