Licensed to practice in North Carolina and accepts 44 insurances. Specializes in Trauma and PTSD and 6 more.
Hello. Welcome to my virtual office. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I earned my Masters of Social Work from the University of South Carolina in Columbia and have been practicing clinically since 2017. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults overcome negative emotions and interact normally with family, friends and the community without irrational fears or intrusive thoughts that control behavior.
In our first session, Clients can expect to foster the development of the therapeutic alliance, discussing their expectations for achievement and creating a plan for success.
I have worked with children, adolescents and adults individually and as family units for the past 8 years. I believe my greatest strength is recognizing the client is the expert of their own lives and that I am most valuable when I facilitate growth that reduces and/or eliminates negative emotions and/or distress resulting in increased ability to express a full range of emotions without experiencing loss of control and improved social interactions.
I embrace the mission of enhancing the lives of the clients that I work with. I believe that therapy is most successful as a collaborative process where the expertise of both the client and the clinician combine for the best results. At the core of my work resides the assertion that relational experiences shape our beliefs about the world, others, and ourselves and impact our perspectives and behaviors. My goal is to meet clients where they are; supporting clients as a catalyst for change; and building the therapeutic alliance to increase the clients’ investment in the important work of positive change. I strongly believe that increased self-awareness and self-acceptance are essential to healing, empowerment and developing ways to relate to self and others.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
While the foundation of my practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I utilize an eclectic approach incorporating CBT, person-centered, solution-focused, trauma recovery and faith-based modalities. At the core of my work resides the assertion that relational experiences shape our beliefs about the world, others, and ourselves and impact our perspectives and behaviors. My goal is to meet clients where they are; supporting clients as a catalyst for change; and building the therapeutic alliance to increase the clients’ investment in the important work of positive change. I strongly believe that increased self-awareness and self-acceptance are essential to healing, empowerment and developing ways to relate to self and others. I work from a framework that is culturally competent, strength-based, existential, and focused on harm reduction.
