Credentials
Training and Experience
After graduating from East Carolina University in 2001, I began my journey in counseling as a geriatric social worker. I worked with the elderly and their families as a social worker and Executive Director with local Senior Living Communities.
Wanting to further my education, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Social Work from North Carolina Central University in 2016. I did another two years post graduation of supervised clinical hours to obtain my full clinical license in North Carolina . I began working to stabilize family systems in their homes throughout 5 counties in central North Carolina. Feeling limited by the lack of Christ-centeredness in traditional therapies, I became certified in Biblical counseling. I am currently certified through "The Institute for Biblical Counseling & Discipleship" as a level one provider in the "Care & Discipleship Program".
I have various certifications and licensures to administer therapy for trauma's such as Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). My preference for processing unresolved trauma is with Biblical Counseling and EMDR therapy.
For individuals struggling with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), I have found EMDR therapy to be a superior evidence-based treatment that diminishes or eliminates the emotional charge of the trauma. It is possible to guide individuals through this therapy while keeping the focus on Christ and biblical concepts. EMDR is different from traditional talk therapies. Please see the video below for more on EMDR therapy.
