Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), licensed in North Carolina. My passion is working with people who are in transition to a better life, or know that they want a better life, but not sure how to get there. One of my passions has become helping teen girls improve their relationships with their mothers, so when the girls become adults, there is actually a friendship.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will do some introductions. We'll also talk about where you are in life, who you want to become and how I can begin to help you, help yourself (that's the key).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am compassionately direct. If I see a client's blind spots and don't tell them directly, then I am not helping them. I have lived a lot of life, experienced many of the things clients have, and have done, and continue to do the work I am asking them to do. I walk the talk, every day.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using this with individual clients to help change mindset and decrease/eliminate symptoms of anxiety & depression. CBT also helps with self-esteem challenges.
Christian Counseling
I use client's faith beliefs in combination with CBT to challenge thinking, shift mindset into what does the Bible say about this.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT with clients, specifically those wanting to incorporate mindfulness, having difficulty with impulsive behavior (Distress Tolerance), and identifying & processing emotions (Emotional Regulation.
Grief Therapy
I have walked with clients in pre-grieving and after grieving process. I encourage strongly being kind and patient with oneself, increasing self-care, and understanding that grief is a non-linear, non-time based process.
