Professional Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Washington. In addition, I hold a Master’s degree in Theological Studies and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. 

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. Along with private practice, I have worked in residential treatment centers for adolescents, substance abuse treatment for adults, and in a nonprofit outpatient therapy setting for all ages.

Currently I am part of an ongoing Dialectical Behavior Therapy consultation team and conduct DBT groups for teens.

The best part of what I do is celebrating a client's recovery and witnessing their courage as they create the kind of life they've been hoping for.
