I am licensed in North Carolina with 16 years of professional work experience. As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in providing therapy to individuals across different age groups, including teens, young adults, and adults. My areas of expertise revolve around addressing various mental health, behavioral health and life adjustments such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, work-related challenges, adjustment issues, and relationship issues. Depression, anxiety, life adjustments and trauma can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. I will support you in navigating these difficulties by providing tools to manage symptoms, fostering resilience, and helping you discover your strengths. Additionally, I understand the profound impact of grief and loss, and I will provide a compassionate space for you to process your emotions and find ways to heal. Work and relationship issues can often cause significant distress, affecting multiple areas of your life. I will assist you in exploring these challenges, developing effective communication skills, and establishing healthy boundaries. Whether you're struggling with career-related stress, workplace conflicts, or difficulties in your relationships, I am here to help you navigate these complexities and find meaningful solutions. My ultimate goal as your therapist is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life. I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we will work towards enhancing your well-being and building resilience to face life's challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to support you and guide you through this transformative process.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, recognizing that each person's experiences and struggles are unique. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial to our work together, and I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and collaboration.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In our sessions, I aim to understand the root causes of your challenges and provide evidence-based interventions tailored to your specific needs. Drawing from my knowledge of various therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I will work with you to develop coping skills, explore underlying patterns, and promote personal growth.
