I am a a licensed counselor in North Carolina, and have been practicing for 18 years. I have worked with adults in higher education settings and private practice. Common topics include disability related topics, wide variety of mental health concerns, and career related topics. I provide counseling specific to disability related issues such as diversity, adjustment, and legal obligations/requirements specific to ADA law. In my work with mental health counseling, common topics of focus are on stress management, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, domestic violence, communication, work-life balance, general life skills, and academic success skills. I have more limited experience with career counseling, but do facilitate career counseling and am qualified to provide supervision from this perspective. I am certified to administer Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other career inventories.
My primary theories of practice most commonly include Solution-Focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral strategies. I focus on the strengths within the client, promote empowerment, assist clients in exploring the answers within themselves, and utilize a strength-based approach and assignments. In line with CBT, I often assignment home work to clients in an effort to link sessions and continue work outside of our individual or group sessions. I also use role-play as a common strategy in session as well as exploring patterns of irrational or unhelpful thinking. I often utilize hand-outs for clients to illustrate various topics as well as serve as a resource for clients outside of therapy sessions.
My counseling style is warm, collaborative and interactive. I treat all clients with respect, compassion and unconditional positive regard. I place high value on empowering clients and meeting clients where they are. I will individualize the treatment plan based on the goals explored and established with the client.
Making the decision to attend counseling takes courage. Everyone deserve to be happy and healthy. Doing the work in counseling is worth the effort to achieve a better way of life. I'm ready to assist and support you in this journey.

Misty has been a guiding hand for understanding what is happening to me emotionally and how to move on. She listens and cares. She constantly surprises me with how good her notes are and helps me connect the dots. I'm always looking forward to our talks.

Misty is absolutely amazing. Shes so supportive of my needs and my priorities whenever I talk to her. Even when I steer off topic of myself, she always brings it back to me and brings my needs/feelings to light. I love talking to her and would recommend her to anyone.
