LCMHC, 15 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC and a Licensed Professional Counselor in SC. I received my Master's Degree from Montreat College. I have been practicing professional counseling for 9 years. I help those ages 16+ learn how to navigate life, manage stressors, identify and manage emotions while building coping skills and learning to reframe negative thoughts.
In our first session, we have have introductions and I will complete a biopsychosocial assessment with you to begin understanding who you are, your history, and "the thing" that brought you to me. You are also able to ask questions of me. Establishing a solid therapeutic foundation is most important for every counseling relationship.
I am an ecclectic counselor that will utilize what works best for the person that I am working with--no cookie cutter services. I want to understand the individual to provide the best care possible.
My experience ranges from young children to adults. However, teens ages 16 and up is the population I have chosen to focus on as life challenges can begin early and learning how to navigate is key.
I am eclectic as everyone's experiences are different and getting to know you to determine what works best. I utilize CBT, ACT, reality therapy, person centered focus as my primary treatment strategies.
