Hi! I'm an Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work from the Ohio State University, and I have been practicing clinical social work for 4 years. I have wide range of experience including working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and life transitions and adjustment. I am passionate about helping clients learn effective coping skills to decrease their symptoms and get back to the life they enjoy!
In our first session, we will do brief introductions and then discuss what brought you to therapy. We will talk together to develop goals that we will work towards in future sessions.
Having worked with clients from around the world who have experienced a myriad of struggles, I am equipped to listen well as you share and provide effective coping skills.
I love working with adult clients who are motivated to learn new coping skills and practice what they learn during the session in their daily life.
I am a follower of Jesus and this guides my worldview. Although I do not provide Biblical counseling, I do integrate my faith into my sessions.
I utilize the CBT framework to help clients identify and address cognitive distortions and challenge thoughts.
I have worked with clients from all over the world and approach each client with cultural humility.
I employ mindfulness exercises into sessions to aid with grounding and decrease anxiety.
When using this treatment method, I allow the client to determine what is discussed in the session and bring in CBT and other treatments as interventions.
