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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with all facets of therapy for the past 8 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.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy is an approach specifically used to treat PTSD/trauma. The main goal of CPT is for the client to develop more accurate interpretations of their traumatic experience(s), and reduce the negative effects of those events on their current lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a psychoeducational type of therapy consisting of specific and applicable skills broken into 4 modules/categories: 1. improving communication or interpersonal effectiveness, 2. reducing distress, 3. mindfulness or living in the moment, 4. emotion regulation.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Therapy is to help clients identify their strengths and use them to create strategies to achieve their goals of improving their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
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.
