Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I am also licensed in Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, and West Virginia. I completed my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2005 from Eastern Washington University and became licensed in 2015. I use a conversational format with humor mixed in for sessions. Each person is different and your treatment will be developed based on your needs and wants. I am here to guide, support, and encourage you to help meet your goals. I am your therapy cheerleader!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, I may ask you questions about your history and what brought you to the platform. I may ask you questions about what you would like to work on during sessions and what may be causing difficulties in your life. A plan will be developed to help guide treatment. Please know that this plan is always flexible as situations may arise during treatment that were unexpected!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapy approach is flexible and considers a holistic approach. Treatment is individualized to your needs and what your goals may be. I listen to words and underlying meanings to your words as well as identify patterns that you may not be aware of in your life. I am a firm believer that everyone has the ability to change!
