Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist based in North Carolina. I received my Master of Arts degree in professional counseling from Webster University. I have been practicing for 15 years. I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety and depression to decrease symptomology and to improve quality of life. I am experienced in working with adolescents and adults who have issues with substance abuse to recover from the abuse of substances and to maintain a drug/alcohol free lifestyle.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. You and I will review your intake form and brief assessments you completed before you came to your first session. Then, I will work with you to complete an assessment that will assist to determine your current level of functioning and specific challenges you're facing. This assessment will help you and I to develop goals and objectives for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with adolescents and adults for the past 25+ years, I've developed a large toolbox of strategies, techniques, and strategies for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your issues and (b) create an individualized treatment plan that leads to measurable progress. I am confident that together we can work to decrease the symptoms that are interfering with your quality of life and improve your life situation.
