I am licensed in North Carolina with 6 years of professional work experience as a therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 20 years in other capacities. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & depression. I often use CBT, DPT and motivational interviewing to address these issues. I have worked with all populations in the areas. With therapeutic interventions, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & depression symptoms can be reduced. My goal is to help everyone I work with to reduce symptoms that create a barrier to living their best life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I use evidence-based practices in a seamless fashion to apply them to everyday situations. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
