When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help my clients, who include children, adults and families, find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, grateful, whole and safe.
While being in private practice for over 18 years, I recognize there is no single approach for all. I am a firm believer in starting where the patient is. If you were to ask any of my patients they would agree I take an approach not unlike a good friend. I believe in listening and encouraging them to find the best answer for themselves.
My educational background includes a MSW from Temple University and BS of Psychology from Catawba College of North Carolina.
