I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; I graduated with my master's in social work degree from UNC Chapel Hill in 2007. I am passionate about meeting you where you are, helping you navigate and explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgement. If you are feeling ready to learn more about yourself and to find ways to develop more effective coping skills, reach out today! In our sessions, you’ll find a space that’s confidential, judgment-free, and focused on your goals. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, grief, or simply want to grow, you don’t have to do it alone.
I approach my practice with compassion, empathy and nonjudgmental understanding. With my holistic mindset, I seek to help people navigate stress, mental health issues and "life" in general. I utilize practice modalities, CBT, TFCBT, Motivational Interviewing techniques, Mindfulness and Self Esteem building to help people achieve their goals.
In our first session we will begin to learn about one another. We will explore your reasons for seeking therapy. We will begin to discuss methods for managing any negative symptoms you are experiencing. We will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals and to develop new skills. Your healing can start today!

I often use Conducting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. It is pretty straightforward: I will help you explore the connection with how thoughts lead to feelings. Help you examine your beliefs. Then we will navigate identifying distorted thoughts, and how that leading to negative feelings. We will then practice changing your thoughts thought creating a counter thought.
