About

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate, licensed in North Carolina with over 11 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress. As a retired U.S. Navy veteran I feel that my specialty is working with the military population, however I also have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults in an in-home setting for a community mental health agency and also in a government agency setting. I have also worked with clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is a client centered approach utilizing techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek counseling 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!
