About me
When you are ready to take the first step, I am here to help you. I am a "people person" with great listening skills. I provide a safe place to explore the challenges that may be preventing you from being your best self. Imagine a new day with a new therapeutic toolbox. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and I am a Licensed Social Worker in North Carolina and California. I've worked with adults, children, teens and families. As a therapist for the past 20 years my experience includes dealing with stress/anxiety, parenting challenges, family conflict, self esteem , and grief, among other issues.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy. No judgement, only acceptance. I look forward to meeting you when you are ready!l
