I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in North Carolina with over 33 years of experience combining my educator and clinical roles. I work primarily with adults from post secondary up to 65 with life challenges including anxiety, stress management, relationships and grief and loss.
My counseling style is interactive, warm and compassionate. I use a great deal of humor in my practice. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, motivational interviewing, family systems, brief solution focused, mindfulness and Yoga if indicated. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I applaud you for reaching out and trying to find help. That in itself indicates self-awareness and a strength within you.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Parenting issues, Depression, Coping with life changes, Coaching, ADHD
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy
