Hello and thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I have been working with children and families in various capacities for over 20 years and have been working as a therapist licensed with the state of North Carolina for the past 7 years. I work with individuals with a wide range of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, anger, ADHD , trauma, physical emotional, verbal abuse, relationship issues and career challenges and stress management. I have experience in therapy with people of all ages, alternate lifestyles, many faiths and individuals from varying ethnic and cultural backgrounds- regardless of their socioeconomic status. I am also experienced in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, stress/anger management, career difficulties, critical incident stress and various issues with people with disabilities. I have worked with females and I am sensitive to feminine issues in counseling. I believe that my diversity of experiences has provided me with a range of skills and an ability to flexibly approach each client's unique circumstances. My theoretical approach to counseling is interactive in style and based on the cognitive behavioral therapy model. Depending on your individual need I will use different methods of therapy. I also employ techniques of cognitive-behavioral counseling,solution focused, acceptance and commitment therapy and motivational interviewing which empowers the client to challenge your internal thinking process to motivate positive change in your life. This is a philosophy of empowerment and accepts the client as the driving force in change. Most sessions will focus on self-awareness, choice, problem solving, and setting goals for the present and future. Other areas of counseling may include focusing on responsibility, meaning of life, your strengths and limitations, self-concept, acceptance, and change. Outside of session, there may be homework assignments such as journal writing, reading, art or other methods of self-discovery and expression.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in NC. I worked in psychology research for 10 years and have been a therapist for 9 years. I am a National Certified Counselor and will be finishing my PhD in 2025. Most of my research and focus in therapy is centered around women’s issues and the ups and downs that can come with being a female. I am an Integrative Therapist. I use many different theories, but I use them together. CBT with ACT, along with Adlerian, DBT, and Reality Therapy. And those are just a few. Most theories are great but sometimes you have to cherry pick from them depending on who the client is. I am a women only therapist, I do not see men. You can expect an authentic session where progress is made. Together we will set realistic goals and a clear roadmap on how to get there.
