About
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with a PhD in counseling and a year of completed medical school training. I have practiced social work over the course of 20 years as a community advocate, professor, psychotherapist, teacher, researcher, the assistant director of a behavioral health department in a rapidly growing CMO in North Carolina and have worked with government officials in countries throughout Africa, regions of India, and Central America as well as almost every contiguous US state.
My therapeutic approach is based in an integration of client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and all of its offshoots such as DBT (certified) ACT etc. When appropriate, I also use solution focused and internal family systems methods as well. I am certified in grief counseling, mindfulness, and trauma informed CBT. I believe that everyone brings a unique skill to the table; none more or less important and none requiring judgment. You get to be the absolute expert in your life (Just one of many expert skills you bring) and I, get to bring my knowledge and experiences to support and provide you different ways to possibly think and/or approach the challenges that you encounter in your life. No magic potions, "spells" or special secrets required. I believe in complete transparency so ask me what you wish about your sessions and I will respond as honestly and clearly as I can possibly be. My primary goal is to create a safe and accepting space where you can take off all of the masks and relax in your authentic self with absolutely no judgment.
I pride myself on being highly approachable to all. In my world, every human is equally wonderful regardless of title, financial income, and how big their house is or is not etc. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and preferences because in my world, you are way more than a number and I am way more than an assembly line worker. Previous clients have been amazed that I remember every thing that is told to me in sessions and usually can actually remind you about something you said in a particular session off the top of my head. How do I do this? I genuinely care about your therapeutic progress. Right now, you are going to just have to trust me on this, I recognize that.
I am always so honored when people consider me as their therapist out of all of the talented professionals available to them. I want you to know that taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I am here to reach my hand out to you, to support you in making your therapy journey a positive and fulfilling experience that eventually leaves you with your desired, best life worth living! Be well and create your joy!
