About me

Accepting only Telehealth patients in North Carolina and West Virginia. I have been working in the social work field for over 25 years and have focused in healthcare and crisis settings. I am hoping to connect with others who want to explore trauma and grief, anxiety and depression, however that may look for them. As a therapist, I am here to listen and to help you problem solve, find solutions and be the best you that you can possibly be! Because you are unique and valuable! I believe in you! Take the first step today...

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I believe everyone needs therapy at some point in their life. We all go through difficult situations in life and need that extra help to assist us, listen to us, and help us think through our options. That is what I am here for...Making that initial step is so scary for many people but once they do, getting connected to the right therapist can be life changing. Choosing a therapist may take some time but you need to make sure they are a right fit for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My style is person centered, I am here to listen and help you come up with solutions to whatever you are facing. Therapy is about you and the goals you bring to each session. Be prepared for homework and to work...to work for your goals! You will also never be alone...

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love helping people and have always had a heart for helping others find the best in themselves.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts of mindfulness, acceptance, and dialectics. By teaching and reinforcing core DBT skills, a therapist can help their clients manage emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Using CBT in therapy involves a structured approach that includes assessment, psychoeducation, cognitive and behavioral techniques, homework assignments, and monitoring progress. By teaching clients to identify and challenge negative thoughts and engage in positive behaviors, therapists can help them achieve lasting change.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy involves a structured yet flexible approach that focuses on identifying and amplifying solutions rather than delving into problems. By emphasizing client strengths, setting clear goals, and using specific solution-focused techniques, therapists can help clients achieve meaningful and lasting change in a relatively short period.
