I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) providing virtual/online therapy to individuals in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. I obtained my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of North Carolina Charlotte. I have 8 years of experience working with trauma survivors from diverse populations, utilizing individual, group, and community based interventions. I am trained in both the Community and Trauma Resiliency Models, which help individuals learn about the mind-body connection and equip them with wellness skills that enable them to process and heal from trauma. Utilizing these models, I have had the privilege over the last 3 years to work with individuals and organizations all across the state, country, and even globally to provide trainings in these models in order to bring these therapeutic interventions to people who may not otherwise be able to access therapeutic services.
I first became interested in trauma work while I was working with a refugee resettlement agency to help individuals recount their trauma and survival stories for immigration purposes. I realized while doing this work, that recounting the details of traumatic or stressful events can in itself be a traumatic experience. I have worked since that time to learn as much as I can about how the mind and body process stress and trauma so that I can help individuals process difficult life events in a way that reduces the risk of additional stress and trauma. I have experience working with survivors of war, domestic and community violence, assault, sexual assault, and abuse as well as grief/loss, anxiety, depression, stress management, and burnout. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.
I believe that people are resilient and have the capacity to heal from stressful and traumatic events. I believe that skills can be learned that can increase an individual’s well being and ability to manage daily life stressors. I work collaboratively with individuals to develop plans that will help them meet their goals. When you are ready, I look forward to supporting you as you take these important steps toward healing and increased well being.
