I am a Licensed therapist who has years of experience in assisting individuals of varying ages and cultures through counseling in a variety of settings. I have been described as supportive, caring, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I absolutely love being a therapist. Helping individuals become their best them is my passion. Some of my greatest strengths are my many years of experience and compassion and the ability to therapeutically help individuals cultivate beyond their current situation.
I am licensed in North Carolina with 38 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, & coping with life changes. I also have experience working with concentration, memory and focus (adhd). I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
As a Licensed Clinician, I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice for several years. While this is not the only treatment modality that is exclusively used in my practice, however it is widely used and has helped numerous clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. During your treatment, we will use CBT to help you recognize how your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors influence each other. You will then learn how to utilize that knowledge in changing your thinking patterns which will help you cultivate a less anxious and stressed life.
