Hi Im a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) based in North Carolina. I received my masters from Liberty University in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with children (5 years and older) , adults, couples, and families. I have over ten years of counseling experience in outpatient and residential services providing individual, family, and group therapy.
In our first session we start building rapport through introductions. A collaborative approach will be utilized where client and myself will work together to identify concerns, treatment goals, and a plan to reach goals.
A therapeutic relationship will be established between client and myself through rapport building and reflective listening.
Theoretical approaches that are evidenced based will be selected that will allow me to facilitate the change process to support client’s goals. Some techniques used are supported by modalities of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and family systems.
