Hello! Whether you've found yourself here by chance or boldly stepped into this journey, I'm excited to be your guide in this therapeutic voyage. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, including 6 years dedicated exclusively to counseling, I've had the honor of supporting individuals from various backgrounds. Let's embark on this journey together, navigating the ups and downs as we work towards your growth and healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In kicking off your first session, we'll start with some friendly introductions. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease right from the start. Then, we'll dive into what therapy entails and what you can expect along the way. It's important to me that you understand the process and feel confident in our partnership. Next, we'll delve into what brought you here today. We'll explore the motivations behind seeking therapy and the challenges you're facing. This is your chance to share openly and honestly—I'm here to listen, support, and understand. From there, we'll work together to develop a personalized plan tailored to your goals and aspirations. Whether it's overcoming obstacles, improving relationships, or finding inner peace, your objectives will guide our path forward. And remember, this is just the beginning. As we continue our sessions, we'll revisit your goals, track your progress, and adjust our approach as needed. I'm here to support you every step of the way, and I can't wait to see the positive changes we'll create together. Welcome to the journey towards a happier, healthier you!

My treatment methods

Eclectic

In my practice, I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of therapeutic strategies and techniques to best meet the needs of each individual client. One of the primary methods I often employ is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, my clients and I work collaboratively to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. This involves assessing their concerns, setting achievable goals, challenging negative thoughts, practicing new skills, and regularly reviewing progress. My aim is to empower my clients to develop more adaptive ways of coping with their challenges. Additionally, I integrate Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) into my practice. With SFT, we focus on exploring solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This means identifying specific goals, highlighting strengths and resources, using scaling questions, identifying exceptions to problems, assigning homework, and regularly evaluating progress. Through this collaborative and practical approach, I help my clients evoke positive change by focusing on solutions and building on their existing strengths. Furthermore, stress reduction methods are an integral part of my therapeutic approach. I offer various techniques, such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, stress management skills, and behavior activation, to help my clients alleviate their stress levels and improve their overall quality of life. My goal is to empower my clients to better manage their stress and cultivate a greater sense of well-being. Overall, my approach to therapy is client-centered and flexible, tailored to meet the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each individual I work with. By integrating different therapeutic modalities and emphasizing collaboration and empowerment, I strive to support my clients in their journey towards personal growth and positive change.
