About me
I am a certified trauma professional who specializes in anxiety and helping people heal from past hurts.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and received my Masters Degree in Social Work from North Carolina State University in 2019. Prior to joining Bowman Family Services, I worked in a community and statewide capacity on the issues of dating/ domestic violence, sexual violence, and trauma. I provide a culturally competent, anti - racist, LGBTQ+ affirming space. I have expertise in working with people who have experiences with substance use and addiction, healthy sexuality, trauma, self- esteem issues, depression, and anxiety. I feel comfortable working with teens and adults, and have the most experience working with women and female identified individuals. My approach to therapy is person- centered and trauma- informed which means I look at a person’s experiences as a whole. I use a range of therapeutic techniques from positive psychology, strengths- based approaches, CBT, ACT, somatic healing, and Compassion Focused Therapy
