I appreciate your interest in working with me. I received my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from High Point University and my Master’s of Education in School Counseling from The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. I am now a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Associate. As a former elementary school teacher and private tutor, I worked closely with students on academic support, while also building their self-esteem and confidence. I believe that we all have individual strengths that we can use to be successful in all areas of our lives.
Populations Served: Children, adolescents, and young adults (5-21).
Area of Specialization: Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma, Emotional Regulation, Behavioral Concerns, School Based Concerns, ADHD/ADD, Developmental/Learning Disabilities, Life Transitions, Relationships, Self-Esteem, and Body Image.
Therapeutic Approaches: In my sessions, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialetic approaches. I also incorporate practices from play and art therapy into my sessions with children. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly in the areas of anxiety, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.
I take a Person-Centered approach by having empathy and compassion at the core of what I do. I believe that forming strong relationships creates a safe and open space for the client. We all face challenges in our life and having the appropriate tools to navigate these challenges is important. Using a Strengths-Based Approach allows me to help clients see that they have unique strengths that allow them to be successful. Having the tools to navigate life’s challenges is crucial and therapy is a wonderful place to gain these tools and learn more about yourself.
