Clinical Mental Health Counseling at North Carolina Central University. I also have a Ph.D. in

Theological and Philosophical Studies from Drew University, an M.A. in Systematic and

​

COUNSELING APPROACH:

I employ a range of techniques, all of which are person-centered. Working collaboratively with

you to set goals and find approaches that best suit your needs is my organizing principle. I

employ Individual Psychology, Positive Psychology, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy, among others, to help clients find clarity on the challenges they face, and to develop tools for meeting their goals. In all of our work together, your perspective and goals will shape the therapies we choose.​

I am currently able to bill for clients who have Aetna, BCBS, and Cigna.  My out-of-pocket fee is $180 per session. 

​
