Why You Might Choose Me

 

You may be asking yourself: "Why on earth should I choose you as my therapist?" 

 

I earned my MA in Counseling from Wake Forest University and also hold a BA in English Literature. I am currently a member of the Chi Sigma Iota, as well as the ACA. In addition to my extensive coursework, my professional experience includes:

• Three years working with Dr. Julius Lundy, a Marriage and Family Therapist at NW Counseling Center

• Three years working with children and adolescents in both acute and outpatient hospitalization for Laurel Ridge Treatment Center

• Ten years mentoring and working with children: ages 4-17

 

While my approach could be considered eclectic, I am primarily a Reality Therapy centric, or Choice Theory therapist. This means that I focus on the “here and now,” and have great respect for how you would like to take an active role in your healing or self-discovery. I am just a passenger in the sidecar, helping steer you when you need me, while you are the motorist. I often utilize other forms of therapy when necessary for appropriate for the problems or concerns. Some of these may include but are not limited to:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

• Life Coaching

• Practicing Coping Skills
