I am an LCSW practicing in North Carolina. I graduated with honors from UNC-Chapel Hill and have experience in both non-profits and private practice supporting women and families experiencing IPV and abuse, assisting young adults through seniors experiencing life changes, guiding all ages through trauma healing, and helping all ages overcome general anxiety/depression. I have specialized trainings in both TF-CBT and EMDR, techniques used to reprocess traumatic experiences. I enjoy using creative approaches and experiential activities in support of client's growth, but also employ an analytical approach to overcome specific challenges. My special interests lay within preventing and overcoming burnout and traumatic experiences; including clarification of personal values, goals, and developing personal routines and lifestyles supportive of overall well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is all about introductions. I may ask a lot of questions, but you are in control of what you share. I don't have to know everything all at once- people are too complicated and it takes time to build an understanding, a trust, and good rapport. The goal of the first session is to get a general sense of who you are, some of your most significant experiences, and what concerns bring you to therapy. You are also encouraged to ask me questions about my approach, my perspectives, my experience and trainings. This is a time for us to meet and get a sense of how we may work together to accomplish your overall goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a successful record of helping clients navigate major life changes and times of upheaval. Whether we are adjusting to the first job and first relationship or transitioning from the last, we may feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and exhausted or simply stuck. I have helped clients alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, leave abusive relationships, adjust to separation/divorce, practice effective co-parenting, resolve childhood traumas, build effective coping skills, adjust to retirement, and reconsider work-life balance. Creativity is fundamental to my perspective and approach; I love to include arts-based and/or somatic work while remaining flexible and open to each client's individual needs.
