As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience and a Master's degree from NC State University, I've dedicated my career to helping people break free from what's holding them back and rediscover their path to growth and fulfillment. Through our work together, you'll develop practical strategies and insights that will help you move beyond feeling stuck and start building the life you envision for yourself.

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

In our first session together, I will provide a warm, supportive space to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. Through a comprehensive assessment, we'll explore your personal history, current challenges, and the experiences that have shaped your journey - this helps me gain deeper insights into how best to support you. Together, we'll identify clear, meaningful goals for your therapy and begin developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and aspirations for positive change.

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

As a warm, understanding, and compassionate therapist, I create a safe space where you feel truly heard and supported. With a natural ability to listen deeply and provide encouragement, I work alongside you to explore challenges, uncover strengths, and empower you to achieve your goals. Together, we’ll build a collaborative path toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

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

I specialize in supporting adults who feel like they've lost their sense of direction and purpose, especially during major life transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, or other significant crossroads. If you're struggling with feelings of low self-worth, questioning your path, or finding yourself unable to move forward, you're exactly the kind of person I can help. My approach is particularly effective for those who want to rebuild their confidence, rediscover their value, and create a more meaningful life aligned with their authentic selves.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my therapy practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and transform unhelpful thought patterns that impact their emotions and behaviors. By collaboratively exploring the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, I guide clients in developing practical skills to challenge distorted thinking and implement more adaptive coping strategies. This is an evidenced based approach that I feel helps to significantly help individuals experience a more meaningful life.

Christian Counseling

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with faith-based counseling for clients who find strength and meaning in their Christian beliefs. While using evidence-based CBT techniques to address thought patterns and behaviors, I honor how faith can serve as a powerful resource for healing and personal growth. This integrated approach allows clients to align therapeutic strategies with their spiritual values, creating meaningful change that resonates with their faith journey.

Eclectic

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I draw from diverse therapeutic approaches to create a personalized treatment experience that fits each client's unique needs and goals. By integrating various evidence-based methods and techniques, I help clients navigate life's challenges while building on their inherent strengths. This flexible, client-centered approach allows us to work together to foster meaningful change, enhance personal growth, and develop practical strategies for lasting well-being.
