Greetings! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of North and South Carolina. I have been licensed for 13 years during this time I have provided therapy services to youth, adults and families in office, community and home settings. The modalities I tend to use consist of solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy and person centered modalities. Prior to becoming licensed I worked as a family preservation counselor and a youth residential counselor. I have an extensive background in family work including parent education.

Raven is extremely friendly and really takes time to get to know her client in order to properly handle their issues and concerns. I really like how she’s very encouraging, yet she does not hide the truth or hold back on suggestions that the client may find challenging. She’s awesome to talk to!
