About My Clients
Whether you are new or returning to therapy, I believe finding the right therapist is essential. Your reason(s) for seeking therapy are unique and deeply personal. If you are struggling with conflicting emotions and thoughts; experiencing anxiety or depression; feelings of self-doubt, hopelessness; or other life challenges; therapy can be helpful to gain clarity, resolution, and the skills to live a more fulfilled life. I believe healing is possible.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15+ years of experience working in ER's, walk-in crisis centers, private practice, community mental health, mobile crisis & addictions. I received my Bachelors of Social Work at UNCP & my Masters of Social Work at Aurora University. I collaborate with clients to gain an understanding of their presenting challenges and goals for therapy. I use a client centered and trauma informed approach. I am open, honest, direct, empathetic and use humor, as appropriate. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for the treatment of trauma. Other interventions that I use, as clinically indicated, include DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused, etc. Sessions can be challenging, healing, frustrating, enlightening but they are always focused on what the client needs as they work on improving their well-being.
