Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT) and I have been working in the counseling field since 2013. I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of North Carolina, gaining perspective and understanding how poverty, addiction, and trauma, can truly impact, both the individual and a family system. I have worked with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, family issues, stress, trauma, and overall difficulties in life. I would describe my approach as warm, empathetic, and goal-oriented. I use a person-centered approach, meeting the client were they are, while also utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to help you help yourself be your best person. I truly believe each person is doing the best they can with what they've been given in life and sometimes, we all could use a little help to make sure we're being our best selves. My goal is to help you feel empowered to find the best version of yourself. I earned my Bachelors Degree at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Psychology with a focus on Human Development and Family Studies. I went on to earn my Masters Degree from Pfeiffer University in Charlotte, North Carolina in Marriage and Family Therapy. I look forward to working with you. Let's chat! My schedule can also be flexible to what is currently shown.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I have been in the field of helping people since 1976 when I became involved with a juvenile first time offender and "ungovernable" youth program. From there, I have worked with children and families in a variety of situations. Throughout my 45 years of experience, I have been a licensed medical social worker where I worked with home health/hospice; as a hospital based trauma, surgery, and orthopedic social worker; and as an in patient, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient psychiatric social worker. The combination of skills has led to where I am now- a generalist with a vast array of experience and training. One area that I enjoy working with is persons in life transition. Often, life throws us a curve and the plans that we thought we had suddenly change. Life's circumstances can be rewarding and also cruel, leaving us confused, stuck, anxious, sad, in a rut and not sure what to do. During some of these changes, we can get back on track and resume our course, but others may require a bit more adaptation and ultimately redefinition of ourselves. An example is when one becomes physically or medically disabled. The loss of identity, sense of usefulness, and belonging (to name only a few) can leave us devastated and asking, "WHY". I can't promise that I have the answers to life's challenges, but maybe, we can explore that journey, be it a new one for you, and come up with some skills to improve your coping with your life's situation. I believe that life is a journey, let's take it one step at a time.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and my background includes working with adults, adolescents, children, married couples and parents from different socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. I have provided a variety of mental health services including working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, anger management issues, family conflict issues as well as parenting issues. I would consider myself to be eclectic and use techniques from several different therapy modalities. Most often I use techniques associated with the Cognitive-behavioral approach, which focuses on identifying the client’s current pattern of thoughts, recognizes potential areas of change or improvement, and modifying behavior. I understand that as individuals we operate within the context of our family structure, cultural background, social environment and religious beliefs. I utilize mindfulness techniques along with Cognitive behavioral approach as well as Solution focused therapy and Person-Centered therapy. During the process of therapy we will address areas of concern, devise a plan to resolve those issues and learn new effective coping skills while considering all the aspects of who you are as a person. My philosophy as a therapist is that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion for their own unique situation. I believe in respecting and honoring all people in the most positive and supportive way I can. I recognize that every situation is different and when someone reaches out, they are willing to move toward change for a happier life. I look forward to working with you to fulfill what change will look like for you. Let’s start the journey together!
