I am originally from West Columbia, South Carolina and spent most of my childhood growing up in multiple cities of North Carolina. I received my bachelor degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro along with a minor degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I went on to complete my master degree in Social Work from North Carolina State University. I am currently credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA). I have experience working with many age groups with varied diagnoses. I believe everyone possesses strengths and qualities that are valuable in the world and I work with individuals to help identify  them. In this type of process, we uncover what and who has molded you into the person you are today. I promote self-determination within all of my clients and allow them to lead the therapeutic process. My goal for all of my clients is growth in the areas they desire to see change.

I am originally from Rocky Mount, NC.  I made Greensboro my home in 2005 after graduating from college. I am currently rostered in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in NC. I have worked in the mental health field since 2006 as a community support professional and as a qualified mental health professional in intensive in-home services.  I have worked as an outpatient therapist since 2014.  

I specialize in working with children.  Although I specialize in working with children, I also work with adolescents and adults.  As a therapist, I believe mental health awareness is essential. Mental health is as important as physical health.  Seeking counseling is a healthy step. I believe a good therapeutic, working relationship is essential for the success of the client. My goal is to provide a balance of challenge and support that promotes change and growth in a non-judgmental environment. I enjoy helping people and I am very passionate about my family and loved ones.  I enjoy cooking, going to the movies, and traveling. The beach is my happy place.

I have worked in the mental health profession for approximately thirteen years, the population in which I worked during those years are children, adolescents, and adults. Of those thirteen years in the mental health profession, I have been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate for one year and a half.
More specifically, my duties have been to address client’s behaviors, which could result in the need for crisis services in the community to avoid hospitalization as well as provide one on one service to clients that are at risk of relapse based on their history of tenuous nature/deficits. Additionally, implement interventions in the cycle of crisis and prevent unnecessary out of home placement. Collaborate with other providers, schools, and the courts to formulate a shared treatment plan along with monthly meetings designed to ensure that all professional supports are in agreement with how treatment was being rendered.
