I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I was awarded my master's degree from Walden University. I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I also help new moms with the "mom guilt" and struggles that come from transitioning into being a parent. I utilize multiple evidence based practices to support my clients and help them to reach their mental health goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will set aside time to get to know you as a whole person. We will work together to identify your current challenges and develop individualized methods to overcome these and future challenges. I will answer any questions you have about the therapeutic process and provide information about my experience and modalities I offer that will suit your situation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is my understanding of the breadth of human experience and an open mindedness leading to acceptance. I am able to relate to many individuals because of my own experiences in life. I utilize holistic care along with personal experience to create an authentic therapeutic relationship.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to challenge negative thoughts and thinking patterns. CBT therapy helps increase the awareness of how our thoughts, behaviors and feelings are all related and affect mental health.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness to help increase awareness of body, feelings and environment influence. Mindfulness assists with finding balance and reduce anxiety and depression.
Strength-Based
I feel strength-based therapy plays a role in every type of treatment modality. Strength-based therapy helps with confidence, anxiety, and many other mental health struggles.
