What’s on your mind really does matter. Trauma and challenges of life can produce

thoughts and feelings that are overwhelming. I believe that achieving balance requires a

“Total Reset” in order to overcome negative self-defeating thoughts and habits. It is

possible to learn new coping skills to help you become resilient and attain personal

fulfillment.

I am a graduate of East Carolina University School of Social Work and with over 20

years of experience assisting individuals and families improve their quality of life by

taking a holistic approach to address trauma, mental illness, physical health and

socioeconomic barriers. I complete clinical assessments and provide individual therapy

to youth and their families. Other areas of expertise include elderly and disabled adults

and individuals with chronic medical conditions. I offer mentorship to MSW students and

clinical supervision to provisionally licensed LCSW colleagues.

Therapeutic modalities used include Holistic Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy,

Motivational Interviewing and Breath-work. I practice with patience and listen without

judgment. I feel that each person is unique and has an important journey to share. My

goal is to help individuals find the best ways to address personal challenges and

achieve balance each day.
