Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with desire to serve others with compassion. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, groups, families, and couples using an eclectic approach tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
I earned my Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Psychology from North Carolina State University and attained my Master’s of Social Work Degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
I have experience in various settings with diverse clients, using several techniques in long and short term interventions. My experience and area of expertise include:
• Adolescents and adults with emotional challenges (i.e. depression, anxiety)
• Adolescents, and adults with medical diagnoses (i.e. cancer, cerebral palsy)
• Anger management
• Relationship challenges; Couples, families, friends
• Grief and loss
• Trauma
• Self-esteem/Identity challenges
• Spiritual challenges
• Coping with life stressors and changes
• Crisis counseling
I have a vast amount of training in several counseling models and I frequently attend training and educational events to continue broadening my skills in order to help others. My approach to therapy is to “meet the individual where they are†and I often incorporate alternative interventions such as music, guided imagery relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and yoga based therapies in sessions. I believe that change occurs when people are given direction and guidance to identify and utilize their own strengths in order to live fulfilled and peaceful lives. Therefore, I believe that my warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental treatment approach will be helpful as we collaborate and work together to empower you to increase your quality of life. I commend your courage and I look forward to working with you.
