Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Rehabilitation counseling from North Carolina Agricultural & State University. I have more than 7 years of experience serving various populations in Outpatient and Inpatient settings. I have experience providing individual & group therapy to children, adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of issues and concerns including substance abuse, serious and persistent mental illness, criminal justice involvement,and mood disorder.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is the introduction and intake session. We will introduce ourselves, discuss any questions about the therapeutic process, I will gather information about the presenting concerns, obtain some history, and discover what goals you would like to accomplish during the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in a variety of different population settings such as the criminal justice system, community mental health, Inpatient psychiatric hospital setting, domestic violence victims, substance abuse individual and group counseling, family therapy, private practice, and with the military population. My background has helped me become more diverse in serving different individuals and cultures within my community.
