Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I have worked in the counseling field for over 20 years and have been licensed for 6 years. I work with adults on improving their mental health by working to reduce anxiety, depression and stress to improve their quality of life.
In the first session, I'll review specifics about the counseling experience and answer any questions you may have. Then, I'll gather information about your specific challenges and collaboratively work to formulate a plan to work on these challenges.
My greatest strengths as a provider would be my patient, compassionate, and caring disposition to allow room for others to feel safe and heard as they open up about their life challenges and work on personal growth in these areas.
I work with adults in all stages of life to learn to cope with their life stressors and adjust to their season of life.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past twenty years. I’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. This knowledge can help to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious, depressed and stressed life.
I’ve been trained in EMDR since 2019. I use EMDR in my virtual sessions to treat and reduce PTSD symptoms.
