I have over 18 Years of experience working with individuals with mood disorders, addiction challenges, and Life issues. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Approach in most sessions and I have also found Solution Focus Therapy to be beneficial for many clients as well. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from Winston Salem State University. I also have a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Appalachian State University. I have 15 years of background in Emergency Services, so I understand the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and negative coping methods related to traumatic experiences associate with Emergency Responders. My background also involves working with an array of clients from 5 to 72 with various challenges and concerns.

I have worked with Children from as young as 5 to 17 years of age with issues such as dealing with absentee parents, loss of a caregiver, bullying and substance use. I understand that growing up today is much different than life was 35-40 years ago, considering technology age and access to social media influences.
