I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 20 of experience working with people with mental health concerns. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress management, anger management, substance abuse issues, mood disorders, and personality disorders. My approach is solution focused, client centered, and strengths based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory.
When working with clients I stride to make the individual therapy experience rewarding, safe, and person centered. I believe that you are the expert on you and that you bring many unique strengths that will help us to work together to set and accomplish goals. I recognize that taking the first step to begin therapy is a scary and anxiety producing event, and I am proud of you for getting started! I am looking forward to meeting you and working together to identify a unique person centered treatment plan.
