LCMHC, 20 years of experience
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and Virginia with over 25 years of experience working with Children and Adults. I am also a licensed Chaplain and Ordained Pastor providing spiritual counseling for over 25 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD, PTSD and trauma. I also assisted many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person centered, trauma focused, solution focused therapy and spiritual counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I will meet you where you are and assist you with getting to where you want to be. I look forward to working with you!
In our first session I want to get to know about you as a person, your childhood, relationships with your family and what is your thoughts about why you chose to come to therapy. Allow you to guide the session as you feel comfortable to share
I meet the adolescents and young women where they are and assist them to get to their destination and purpose using real life experiences and being transparent with them. I offer love and compassion and no judgement.
I love working with adolescents, young women and adult women to help them to build their self-esteem, to learn how to set boundaries and how to provide self-care without feeling guilty or insecure about what they desire for their lives.
I am a LCMHC that uses several modalities. CBT is used to assist client to reduce anxiety, stress and depression through breathing, mindfulness and other techniques that will quieten the mind.
I am a certified Chaplain and Christian Counselor with a doctorate in Christian Counseling and an Ordained Pastor.
