- LCSW
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of North Carolina and Virginia. I earned my Masters in Social Work Degree in North Carolina in 1993 and Virginia in 2005. I have worked with and provided counseling to a diverse population throughout my career including elderly populations, children, families, individuals, couples, and inpatient/outpatient. Also, I have experience working with Active Duty Service Members and their family members and Veteran’s.
I use a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focus Brief Therapy/Counseling, Stress Management, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My belief is that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. I enjoy helping clients help themselves by learning skills and tools that they may need to cope with current or future challenges of life. If you are experiencing any challenges, I would like to be the counselor that listens to your issues and concerns and help you develop the skills and tools that you will need to respond to life’s challenges.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
