General Info

My approach to therapy is to assist individuals in accomplishing their goals in this journey we call life. I feel our expectations of others, ourselves and our environment create more stress than we often realize. The good news is we can tame those expectations in order to live a more purposeful life, less driven by stress and greatly assisted by the skills acquired in therapy.I use CBT, MI, SFBT and Supportive Therapy to assist those presenting for treatment. My specialty is a Social Work approach, utilizing natural supports, individual strengths, and community resources to affect change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. For those seeking a SU credential, I am also a CCS.I have been working with those in need of services since 1989 and have been credentialed in Substance Abuse since 1994 and credentialed as an LCSW since 2000. I have previously been Adjunct Faculty with ECU and MOC and continue to provide training around the area and NC, focusing on family and indv care approaches. I have also owned this practice since 2007.
