Greetings! I am happy you are here. I've been a therapist for over a decade and have worked with clients of all ages and genders. I've done this through my work in schools and outpatient community mental health. My experience is broad reflecting years working with clients from various diverse backgrounds. Having worked with children and families for over a decade I have professional experience on identifying root causes of child/teen behavior and a specific set of skills to help address negative family dynamics. Given my lived experience, I also bring an invaluable and unique experience to the veteran/first responder population. I'm an avid reader and often weave metaphor into my work with my clients.I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a variety of therapeutic tools. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC) based in both North and South Carolina. I also am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor(LPC-S) in the state of South Carolina. I currently enjoy mentoring the next generation of therapists through their licensure process.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, you will get to know me just as I will get to know you. We will discuss expectations of treatment and I will work with you on ensuring you get what you need from this therapy process. This will also be an opportunity for you to make sure I am a good fit for what you are looking for.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My style is warm, authentic, compassionate, yet direct.. I have a passion for working with children and families. It brings me joy to see a parent and their child heal their relationship. I also enjoy working with first responders and the veteran population. I particularly enjoy helping folks as they navigate transitions and stressful moments of change in their lives whether that be a move, job change, life transition change, or change in a family system. Trust me. It gets better.
