Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Greetings!
First let me say “Congratulations on the decision to make a change in your life”. I give you applause because life can be difficult; heavy in fact. As a Master’s Graduate from East Carolina University and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of North Carolina, my ultimate goal in life is to help alleviate some of that load. Through working with NC’s Department of Social Services Reunification Program and specializing in Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST); an evidenced based program aimed at keeping families together and children from being displaced, it’s clear to see that most of my background consists of working with families and couples in an effort to strengthen bonds and relationships. However, as an outpatient therapist, I also have an extensive background working with individuals who are having a difficult time adjusting to the stresses of the world and may be wondering what to do with their lives.
Having worked years as a prison therapist, I believe in a strength based approach and meeting the client where they are; after all we are in this together., right? I have over eight years’ experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy; all that aim at highlighting the positives in your life and extending that to areas in which you’d like to see change. I am an active listener and believe in focusing on what you feel is most important and not the other way around. I also believe in “keeping it real” and addressing all mental health issues from a Reality Based approach.
My availability is currently Monday-Thursdays, that time when we are counting down the days of the week, just trying to make it to Friday! Those crunch days when we’ve had to put on a face at work or school, but now desperately need someone to help make sense of it all so maybe… just maybe… this will be the night we get to sleep a little more soundly. If you feel that I could add any value to your life, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you!
