I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Graduated from North Carolina State University with my Masters in Social Work. I chose to become a LCSW versus another type of counselor because I love connecting people with resources that will assist in their recovery. Psychotherapy is an integral part of mental health treatment however there are many tools available for managing your mental health and I want to assist you not only with therapy but also with material to help you when you leave your therapy session.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I always tell people having the right rapport with your therapist is one of the most important aspects of therapy. This is your time to process difficult things and I want you to feel comfortable. The first session we will be getting to know each other and you will be deciding if I am a good "fit" for your therapy needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are being empathetic and non-judgmental. We all have fell on difficult times and that's ok. You will be in "judgment free" zone during our sessions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults that have goals and dreams and although they may reach some of them, their mental health symptoms sometimes interfere in their full potential. I want to work with you to achieve the best life in spite of your mental health struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was what inspired me to become a Therapist. Although I am "pro-medication," it is a small piece of winning the battle created in our mind. I have been using CBT in my practice for the past four years. It has helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their depression and anxiety. We will use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We will then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns which will assist in your overall feelings of well-being.
