I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for North and South Carolina. I received a Master of Science degree from Central Michigan University in 2007 and a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree with a concentration in Children and Families in 2013 from Fayetteville State University. I am a native of North Carolina and have always had a passion to help others. As an undergraduate student at Fayetteville State University, my experience as a peer counselor began my journey to becoming a social worker. Over the years I became an Army wife, mother, and a volunteer. I managed two military Army Community Services (ACS) in South Korea. During my time there I provided newcomers briefings, resources, and referrals to the Soldiers. I also taught English as a second language to the native South Koreans. My experience of being a military wife and helping Soldiers and their families then and now is extra special to me. A few of my specialty areas are CBT, talk therapy, mindfulness, brief therapy, family therapy, PTSD, mood disorders, grief/loss, and anxiety. I have experience as a Mental Health/Substance Abuse co-occurring outpatient therapist. I am certified in Strengthen Families, Seeking Safety, and Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS) I look forward to helping you get to a place of normalcy one step at a time.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in the holistic approach when working with my clients. Through my life transitions, I have learned that empathy and compassion are important traits to have. I use empathy and compassion to join with my client to recognize his or her potential. We collaboratively build inner strength to solve life's challenges one step at a time.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing, which happens through different CBT techniques.
Grief Therapy
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. I have learned that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills help to considerably reduce their chances of depression returning.
Couples Counseling
My experience with this treatment is based on the Therapeutic Alliance which includes the following: Build strong individual rapport with each partner Maintain neutrality while validating both perspectives Create a safe space for vulnerability and change
