Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) based in North Carolina. I received my Masters from East Carolina University and I have been practicing for 9 years. I believe in a client-centered approach where you define your goals and we will work together to get them accomplished. During therapy, my priority will be to collaborate with you to become the best version of yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know each other and we will discuss your personal goals and current feelings regarding therapy. We will work together in follow-up sessions to develop a road map to help you reach the desired outcome for your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've worked in this field for over 15 years and I have worked with various individuals from a variety of different backgrounds. I strive to offer a non-judgmental approach to therapy. I think my greatest strength is that I'm relatable. I will never profess to "knowing it all", but I pride myself in pouring all I know into helping others. I truly believe that we all have the tools to be our best selves, sometimes we just need a little help in organizing the toolbox.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with children, caretakers and adults. My clients realize that life is a journey without a roadmap or manual. They understand that as a therapist, I'm not an expert on how to live, but I am here to listen and offer support on this journey called "life".
