LCSW, 9 years of experience
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) based in North Carolina. I received my Masters from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and have been practicing going on 9 years now. I love helping young adults discover and understand how their past experiences are continuing to impact their lives, and how they can move forward.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then look at some of the reasons why you are wanting to start therapy. I will make sure to answer any questions you have about me or my style of therapy, which helps to make sure we will be a good match for each other. After gaining some more background about what you are looking for, I will work to create a tailored plan for follow-up sessions.
Having worked with all facets of therapy for the past 10 years, I am able to incorporate therapeutic techniques specific to what you are looking for. I find it most helpful for clients to gain a better understanding of how their past experiences are continuing to impact their lives today.
I love working with young adults who are eager to attend therapy on their own terms. I also have an extensive background of working with military clients, including both Active Duty, Reserves, Veterans, and military families. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety or emotional regulation, oftentimes stemming from traumatic situations. My clients love discovering what therapy can look like for them, and how we as a team can tailor each session to benefit them. My clients love learning new skills or hearing new perspectives to assist with the ultimate goal of creating a balanced life.

She was delightful! I was pleasantly surprised how down to earth she was. It's hard to meet people who are authentic and genuine now a days. She put an unexpected smile on my face and was very easy to talk to. It was truly a pleasure to meet her.

Meredith really made me feel like we were having a conversation and she never made me feel bad about the things I brought up to her. It was reassuring that she could relate to her personal experience with me and offer options for approaches we could take in future sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a go-to therapy approach I use in talk-therapy. I strive to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings/emotions and behaviors can all be connected, and support them in understanding and challenging their negative thoughts in order to change or minimize unwanted behavior outcomes.
