Hello, I'm a LCSW that's licensed in NC. I have over 19 years of Mental Health experience as I have served adults and children. I also have a unique background in which I have served in several social work positions and impacted several lives. I have been practicing as a Therapist for 5 years. I create a holistic approach to therapy and help my clients cope with their mental health symptoms and live a more balanced life.
As a Clinician, I create a safe and welcoming space for clients to enter and recognizing that healthy healing requires patience with one self. I will help you address your current stressors and support you in creating goals that you desire to accomplish over time. I will guide you to begin this personal journey to healing and freedom.
Having worked with adults and children for over 19 years, I have developed creative skill sets and approaches that are client focused and person centered. I have been noted as creating a therapeutic space for all clients to feel comfortable being themselves and honest regarding their struggles and needs. I help them identify the root cause of their symptoms and supporting them in finding healthy coping mechanisms.
I have served individuals that struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem concerns, family conflict and more. My clients are yearning to improve, but feel overwhelmed where to start and unsure if they have the tools to do so. They often feel overwhelmed, sad, unsupported by others and stuck in their personal and professional lives and need a safe place to express their feelings and emotions and learn how to regulate them.
CBT is an evidenced based practice that I have utilized in treatment sessions for clients over 3 years that suffer with depression, anxiety, grief and other challenges.
Mindfulness is an evidenced based practice that I have utilized in treatment sessions for clients over 3 years and served clients that suffer from some anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, substance use, and stress related diagnoses.
I have worked with individuals for over 19 years that have experienced some type of trauma, and as a therapist with speciality group for at least 4 years. I spend time normalizing the symptoms of trauma and helping client become more self aware and learn healthy ways to cope with their trauma and address it one aspect at a time.
