LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I received my Masters from East Carolina University and have been practicing for 6 years. Over the past several years I have worked closely with all populations including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, adhd, trauma, family conflict, behavioral issues, and crisis intervention.
Starting therapy for the first time can be scary! During out first meeting we will go over background information and reasons for seeking therapy and make collaborated therapeutic goals.
I believe the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect in therapy and to work towards this relationship there must be mutual trust, respect, agreement on the therapeutic goals, and the freedom to share within sessions. Therapy will help you learn new skills and techniques to better manage your stressors. By working together, one step at a time, we will work towards your therapeutic goals.
Now accepting new clients ages 12+! I specialize in providing counseling services to teens and young adults struggling with life stressors, school performance, self-harm, anxiety, and depression.
I have extensive experience with anxiety and depression and draw from cognitive behavioral therapy techniques in order to manage concerns by changing the way you think and behave. By utilizing CBT methods, we will work together towards your unique therapeutic goals.
