I am one of the most relate-able therapist you will encounter. I come from a long line of family members with a helping background, caring spirit and a gift to inspire others. I have over 18 Years of experience working with individuals with mood disorders, addiction challenges, and Life issues. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Approach in most sessions and I have also found Solution Focus Therapy to be beneficial for many clients as well. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from Winston Salem State University. I also have a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Appalachian State University. I have 15 years of background in Emergency Services, so I understand the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and negative coping methods related to traumatic experiences associate with Emergency Responders. My background also involves working with an array of clients from 5 to 72 with various challenges and concerns.

Many times we are called upon to be caregivers for aging parents 55+ , let's discuss the challenges that affect our mood, behaviors and thoughts as we watch our love ones transition into their golden years.

I have worked with Children from as young as 5 to 17 years of age with issues such as dealing with absentee parents, loss of a caregiver, bullying and substance use. I understand that growing up today is much different than life was 35-40 years ago, considering technology age and access to social media influences. This has change the way that kids address acceptance, expectation, responsibilities, and peer pressure. I would be glad to assist you with this popular of young leaders. Let's get started on starting over, I'll be waiting!

Jeffrey has been patient with my slow process to begin counseling and supportive. I appreciate his patience.

Jeffery is friendly, personable, and easy to talk to. He approached my situation with consideration and thoughtfulness. He was able to relate to me which made it easy to talk to him. I appreciated how genuine he was when he shared his experiences with me and I enjoyed how he was able to infuse a sense of humor into our conversation. He was a great resource to talk to and he also offered up very helpful and practical solutions to combat my anxiety!

Dr. Shaw has been a down-to-earth counselor who has been an asset for me to vent about the complex issues in my relationship. He has been an expert and a "bro" to lean on in the aspect of masculine fellowship. Given my chaotic lifestyle as a Christian father, in a relationship, being a Soldier, and a student, Dr. Shaw enabled the flexibility to reach out for help.
