Hello: I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor located in the Triad region of North Carolina . I have been in practice as a counselor for the last thirty years, and prior to living in NC lived and worked southern Maine where I spent a good deal of my time as a counselor working in a variety of settings and working with children, adolescents and adults.
In our first session together we will start with brief introductions and I will gather some background information from you . I will also have you complete some forms as well. I would like this to be a relaxed time for you and I to talk and also allow time for you to get to know me as well.
People that know me would describe me as warm, curious about people and life in general with a good sense of humor. One of my greatest strengths as a provider is the wealth of knowledge that I have been fortunate to have gained and experienced in the last thirty years. Part of what I love to do as well is to provide education and resources for client that I see.
I have been a trauma based therapist for over thirty years, and use CBT treatment in session to assist clients with improving cognitive skills
Having worked with clients with trauma based issues for the past thirty years I will use DBT treatment to assist clients with emotional regulation
