LCSW, 20 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health world. I have live Tennessee for most of my life. I graduated from the University if Tennessee at Knoxville. I have spent a few years in Alaska and Oklahoma as well. I enjoy working with adults to help them become the best version of themselves.
I like to spend my first session just getting to know my client and letting them get to know me. I spend time going over with my clients what their goals are and what they want to accomplish through our sessions. I then explain to them how each session will go, homework and how we will go about reaching their goals and being their best self.
I have experience working with trauma, end of life, depression, anxiety, self esteem, anger management, boundaries and stress. My experience in medical social work, dialysis, end of life, military, military children, and private counseling gives me the experience to determine how each session should look.
I love working with the adult population to help them reach their goals through their careers, families, and life.
I have used this treatment method for about 3 years. By using the wisdom of the Bible, I use scripture and Christian beliefs to enhance the therapy experience for my clients.
I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy throughout my career. I use it in my practice along with worksheets so the client can complete homework between sessions, with the goal of the client reaching their goals more quickly.
I have used this method throughout my career and in every aspect my counseling. Using goals and worksheets, we focus on the established goals and strive to establish the solution that best suits the client.
