I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia. I have over 30 years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and adjustment problems. I am certified as a telemental health provider.and also as a clinical trauma professional. My intake process involves a thorough assessment of needs and strengths, usually from a Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach. I strive to help clients to clearly identify the problems that brought them to therapy and the challenges they are facing, and then to collaborate with them to formulate specific, measurable goals to address the identified problems and challenges and find effective solutions. I have extensive experience working with both individuals and couples and enjoy working with clients of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Before moving to North Carolina in 2019 I worked primarily with active duty or retired military members, their spouses, significant others or family members through the Department of the Navy's Fleet and Family Support program. Military families experience problems arising from frequent moves, extended family separations due to deployments or other assignments, and the anxiety and fear family members feel when the service member is in a dangerous situation or when regular communication is not possible. In addition I assisted clients who had experienced domestic violence or childhood abuse or neglect. I also have extensive experience working with parents to improve communication with their children, learn and apply more effective discipline techniques, and develop helpful behavior management practices. I am also well qualified and experienced in providing clinical services from a Christian perspective for clients who prefer a faith based therapy approach. My approach to therapy is individualized and focused on the unique strengths and challenges of each client. My therapeutic style is engaging and collaborative exploring with each client the strengths he or she already has to find solutions. I draw on tools and perspectives from several approaches including Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I know that it takes courage to reach out for help. I would be honored to assist you as you address the concerns that are motivating you to seek counseling services. I believe that together we can find solutions.
