Therapists in Vass, NC

It is my goal to assist my clients with bridging the gap from where they are emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually to where they want to be. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 plus years’ experience including private and group practice, education, government and psychiatric trauma. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and have extensive training in evidence-based practices in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I equip my clients with techniques to reduce symptoms associated with transitions, anxiety, post traumatic stress (PTSD) depression, and generational trauma. They learn the building blocks to release negative emotions, reduce/eliminate physiological arousal triggers, reduce stress, and develop a sense of calm and clarity. They also learn how to improve the quality of their relationships. The by-product of working with me is goal achievement, internal and external healing. My philosophy in counseling is that life is a journey that gives us new opportunities every day to live the life we desire. No two days are the same, and we will have highs and lows, but it’s up to us to stay the course, reset or make changes as needed. We also must gather the experiences and supports along the way to get to where we want to go next. I have a passion for empowering people to heal and break free from traumatic experiences that causes distressing emotions. Working with me, you will receive the tools necessary to step up to a whole new level of empowerment, confidence, and vitality. You will also take steps to release disempowering patterns and thoughts that limit your goal achievement and hinder quality relationships. You have the right, and internal power to heal. I look forward to joining you on your journey!
