Hello I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in North Carolina. I have been in practice for over twenty five years. I appreciate your interest in pursuing your best life. I am here to help you navigate this process. Issues can sometimes feel overwhelming to manage. My focus is to help you discover your inner strengths and achieve peace, progress, and happiness.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am empathetic, compassionate, and down to earth. I strive to help you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with those individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I utilize a strengths based, solution oriented approach.
