I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with more than 20 years of experience. My goal is to create a therapeutic experience that feels genuine, caring, and safe. I’m passionate about working with adolescents and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and discover new ways to grow and heal. Please note that I provide therapy services, but not psychological assessments.
I use a compassionate, client-centered approach that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help clients heal, gain clarity, and build resilience. Together, we focus on self-worth, emotional growth, and practical tools for creating balance and lasting change.
The first and early sessions will be a rapport building sessions. I will get to know the client better and on a more personal level. We will explore together the reason they chose to start therapy. I want to hear my client's story. I want to understand where they have been, where they are currently, and ultimately where they want to go. I want to see the big picture of who they are and what they are going through. I want to start building the therapeutic relationship and start establishing trust.
