Greetings! I am a culturally sensitive Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. I have been LCSW since 2006 and practicing for over 18 years. I have extensive history with working with students (children, adolescents, families) within school and outpatient settings. I have collaborated with school staff to manage difficult behaviors in classroom as well as home. I enjoy working with college aged adults struggling with school and home stressors, life transitions; in addition to specializing issues related to multiracial identities.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will complete an initial assessment which will gather complete mental health history. We will discuss informed consent, goals for treatment that will be both measurable and time specific. Homework will be something that I assign from day one, to get the process started quickly and to determine how invested client will be to this therapeutic process and alliance. My therapeutic approach will be eclectic and specific to client's need and goal for treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in this field for many years and this is my biggest strength. Due to the various settings I have worked I have treated many different disorders. I have experience collaborating with collateral agencies working to support client success. I have worked with various ethnicities, races, and gender identities.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 18 years. It’s helped many clients challenge reoccurring thoughts, manage their anxiety and take control of negative thinking. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I’ve been using Solution Focused Brief Therapy in my practice for the past 18 years. It’s helped dozens of clients directly address problems and create a plan to resolve it. We’ll use SFBT to identify patterns and barriers to achieving solutions and develop strategies to clarify and achieve solutions.
Psychoeducation
Traditional psychoeducation promotes collaboration between individuals and therapists by providing knowledge, empowerment, increase and improve understanding and communication. This collaboration leads to better outcomes and more person centered care. I utilize psychoeducation in this manner in my practice.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness based therapy is an approach that incorporates mindfulness practices to promote psychological well being, reduce distress, and enhance self awareness. This practice of mindfulness helps cultivate compassion, non judgement toward personal experiences leading to better functioning and overall mental health. I use this to assist clients with stress reduction, emotional regulation, increased self awareness, improved concentration and focus, increase resilience, and improve relationships.
Play Therapy
Play therapy allows for therapeutic bonds to grow and inner feelings to be shared and explored. Coping strategies, creative problem solving, social skills building can all take place with use of this method. It is client centered and allows child to be in control of process.
