Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in North Carolina. I received my graduate degree from Appalachian State University. I have been in practice for five years. I have worked as a Medical Social worker for ten years prior to licensure and am familiar with folks living (and thriving) with chronic health conditions. I have worked in rural communities doing therapy in homes as well. I have seen amany facits of peoples lives and am grateful to have been allowed to be a part of their journey.
Like any good relationship, our first session will begin with getting to know one another. I would like to know what it is you are looking for and how I can best support you. This is also a great time for you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have. During this time, we will work together to create a partnership to move you towards your desired goals.
I would like to think that my lived experiences make me unique. I have a diverse background and a passion for helping others succeed and grow.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most used tools in my toolkit. I like to use CBT because it puts the power back into the clients' hands. It increases awareness of negative thoughts and behaviors and allows people to decide new ways to reframe how they react.
