I am a licensed clinical social worker with master's degrees in social work and psychology and a PhD in Leadership studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, National University (formerly Northcentral University), and NC A & T University, respectively. I have participated in research on insomnia and sleep, as well as emotional intelligence, with leaders regarding job satisfaction. Finally, I am a certified employee assistance professional working with individuals and organizations to attain job satisfaction.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will gather a thorough bio-psychosocial history, start with brief introductions, and then discuss your strengths and challenges. After assessing the issues and challenges, I will provide some education to you on the different treatment modalities and attempt to begin the therapeutic relationship. This will help me create a tailored plan to work together in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with individuals, couples and young professionals for the past 30 years, I've developed a tried-and-true eclectic approach to helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
