Hello, I am a Licensed clinical mental health therapist and licensed addictions therapist with 20 years exerpierience. I have a Master's from Appalachian State University and another Master's from Lenior Rhyne University in Clinical Mental Counseling and Psychology. I have three license including a lcensed DWI facilitato for the state of North Carolina. I have worked crisis intervention so I am good under pressure.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

For our first session, we will complete and intake and begin the process of developing a treatmet plan to address your needs. Also, clients are asked, in their words "why do you feel you need treatment?". This is a one on one get to know each other meeting. Client, counselor rapport is very important. Some clients give up when they seek a therapist because of the lack of rapport. It is important to find the person who i right for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider is meeting the client where they are on their journey and guiding them to a new a happier life. I work diligently to meet the client's needs. Also, if I feel we are not a good match (as discussed together), I will ensure the client in placed with aother therapist. I offer Christian based counseling but it is not required in our sessions unless requested.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with all populations with the exception of children under age 12. This population isn't under my realm of training. So basically, anyone 12 and up dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, life changes, addictions, eating disorders, self harm and others. Sometimes a client just needs someone to help them through a period in their life. A person doesn't need a diagnosis to see me. I will do my best to assist your needs.
