Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (NC-LPCS8487)
Many of my clients have mental health concerns related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship/family stress, adoption, pre-and-postpartum issues, LGBT challenges, and more. I provide assessments and then work together with clients to create a treatment plan that uses evidence-based practices to help them start feeling better and make progress on their goals.
Substance abuse and codependency are areas of special interest to me. I am happy to work with individuals in their recovery from addictions. I do not provide DUI assessments.
I provide assessment for ADHD for both adults and children. I often collaborate with local doctors who specialize in ADHD testing and treatment as well. I enjoy helping clients learn about ADHD, how to best cope with procrastination, and time management challenges in day to day life.
I provide supportive and affirmative therapy for LGBTQI individuals. I also provide referral and documentation support for clients seeking hormonal or surgical interventions.
First of all, it's normal to be a little nervous. Before you come for your first appointment, I will send you paperwork that details my policies and counseling approach. I encourage you to email me your questions. You can expect appointments to last 50 minutes.
My office is located in a bungalow at 713 N. Eugene St. There is parking available in the back of the building and also on the street. Enter through the front door and settle into the lobby. I have no office staff or receptionist, so don't worry if no one greets you. I'll come find you when it's time for your appointment.
The assessment involves getting to know you and your concerns that have brought you to therapy. I will ask questions about your medical and mental health history, as well as questions about your family and social circumstances. At the end of the assessment, we will talk about diagnosis, treatment goals, what treatment interventions have been researched to be effective for your problems, and what you can expect in terms of frequency and type of therapy we will be doing. I will ask you for feedback on my ideas, so we can collaborate and create a plan that everyone feels good about.
