LCMHC, 20 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I have been in practice for over 20 years. I primarily work with military connected families, veterans, and clients with trauma and stressor related challenges. I strive to create a safe and empathetic environment where clients can freely explore their concerns and modify behaviors to make positive changes in life.
During our first session together, we will get to know one another. We will chat about your goals for therapy and expectations before diving into the specific challenges you're facing. We will discuss the plan to help you reach your goals and decide if you think the relationship will be a good fit.
Having worked with adults and military connected families for over 20 years, I understand the importance of effective listening without judgement. I strive to provide a safe environment that fosters resilience, growth, and the emotional well-being necessary to make a meaningful difference in your life.
I am excited to work with adults from various backgrounds. I have effectively provided service for individuals experiencing traumatic and stressor related challenges that include but are not limited to adjustment, acute stress, and post-traumatic stress.
I use this approach to help clients transform negative thinking patterns into positive outcomes using practical strategies that modify behaviors to make positive changes in life.
I use this approach to help clients challenge automatic beliefs using practical strategies intended to empower clients to recognize the control they have over their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
I use this approach to help clients identify personal strengths necessary for developing the skills and attitudes that promote well-being and emotional growth while equipping them with essential skills to manage and cope with stressors.
