About My Clients
Life often comes with "stuck points" - perhaps for you it is a recent loss, the end of a relationship, feeling overwhelmed at work, wondering if THIS is all that life has to offer… Although we do have to face these inevitable life circumstances, we do not have to do it alone, and therapy can be a great support to get un-stuck. Most clients I work with are adults who experience challenges with anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, self-worth, substance/alcohol misuse, or relationship distress.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in the state of North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor with the National Board of Certified Counselors. I have worked in various roles and agencies within the realm of mental health treatment for almost eight years, with the last three years practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, providing therapy to the Veteran population with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. I have provided therapy to the Veteran population, individuals with various levels of substance or alcohol misuse, older adults experiencing challenges commonly found later in life, and individuals as they navigate various life transitions or those experiencing grief from the death of loved one, divorce, or other types of loss. I have engaged in various trainings including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Based Counseling.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have seen time and time again the healing power of a therapeutic relationship- one that provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to help a person heal from life’s most challenging experiences. This is what I seek to provide to the clients I work alongside in a therapeutic partnership. I believe in the power of human resiliency that we all have within us- the ability to be flexible, adaptable and recover from the inevitable stress of being human. However, sometimes accessing these skills may be difficult when life stressors pile up and it feels as if you can barely keep your head above water. If you are seeking additional support in this endeavor and believe I would be a helpful fit for these needs, please contact me through this webpage so we can talk further. I look forward to hearing from you!
