Hi and welcome! You have taken the courageous step to a happier and healthier life...good for you! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 20 plus years of experience and am excited to work with you. Some of my specific areas of focus include depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. My approach is simple and straight forward...I believe it is crucial to have a trusting relationship with your therapist. Through that relationship we will take a journey of discovery and transformation together. And along the way we will conquer the issues that are holding you back or simply stressing you out. In therapy I typically utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with a general sense of Person Centered Therapy in which the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance. I began my career working in Substance Abuse running several treatment programs in Florida and North Carolina. Eventually I started my own general counseling practice in North Carolina where I spent many years working with adults, children and families. Most of my time with clients was focused on stress related issues, depression & anxiety, trauma, and relationship and family dynamics. I look forward to starting this journey with you!

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.

These approaches work well together and allow the use of other techniques and skills as needed. I also utilize interventions and assignments from other approaches such as, Reality and Existential Therapy. CBT frames client issues through cognitive functioning. Faulty or false thoughts lead to problematic behavior and the supporting of false thoughts. CBT is present focused and assist clients in identifying and overcoming faulty thinking and therefore changing unhealthy behavior. Person-centered counseling provides unconditional acceptance for clients. I view healthy communication and the therapeutic alliance between client and counselor as a major catalyst to desired outcomes for the client. I look forward to taking your journey with you!
