I have thirty eight (38) years in the human service field which includes: providing services to veterans; at-risk youth; senior citizens; ex-convicts and; individuals that are challenged with substance use and mental health challenges. I am Licensed in North Carolina as a Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate, and as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I serve children that have trauma, ADHD and behavioral concerns. I also work with adults that have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety. My main goal is to teach my clients to use appropriate coping skills to recover and to lead a less impaired and more functional life.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs within evidenced based therapeutic models. Mindfulness, ACT, DBT and CBT have demonstrated efficacy in producing positive outcomes for persons that are predisposed to a myriad of disorders including: - Trauma, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Major life adjustments and Addiction
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
