I am a licensed to practice mental health therapy in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS). I received my Master’s in Social Work from East Carolina University (ECU) and have worked in the field for almost 6 years. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with mental health disorders including but not limited to depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction.
As a licensed therapist, I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing techniques to help address anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and trauma. My ability to see different perspectives enables me to meet people where they are. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach, assisting and supporting clients to be the author of their own lives.
You and I will be entering a counseling relationship in which my job is to assist you in exploring and resolving difficult life issues. As people become more accepting of themselves, they are capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. If counseling is successful, clients should feel that they can face life’s challenges in the future without professional support or intervention on an ongoing basis.
