Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2006. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have been an LCSW for the past 10 years. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. Currently, I also work at the Memphis VA Hospital in the ER as a mental health assessor.
In our first session you can expect to tell your story. We will also work together to develop a treatment plan and make a decision on a timeframe to address your concerns. We will also set goals that are realistic, achievable, and in alignment with your desired outcomes.
As a provider my greatest strengths are my empathy, knowledge of treatment models and theories, and my experience in the mental health field.
CBT is an evidence based practice that helps address a variety of disorders. I have used CBT primarily over the past five years to help people with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, anger management, and many other issues.
This treatment modality is used to treat clients with PTSD and other trauma related issues. I have 14 years of experience treating clients using this modality.
Motivational Interviewing is a technique used to help clients move from unwillingness to change to a state of being ready to make positive changes in their life.
