Graniteville

Education: Master of Science Degree in Applied Clinical Psychology from the University of South Carolina Aiken Experience/Specialties: I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and children with depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal/relational conflicts, behavioral concerns, crises, and other life difficulties and barriers.

Therapeutic Approach: My goal as a helping professional is to provide clients with healing, instillation of hope, and the opportunity for healthy growth and development. I enjoy interacting and working with individuals who have experienced emotional distress and other mental health challenges leading to depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, emotional dysregulation, and behavior difficulties. My approach to therapy is through utilizing eclectic therapeutic techniques and interventions including emotion regulation and coping skills, processing trauma, resolving aversive emotions, mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, person-centered, problem solving, behavioral interventions, and strength-based training.
