Qualifications
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) in the State of North Carolina.
I graduated from Wake Forest University in May 2020 with my master’s degree in Clinical Mental
Health Counseling.
Licensure
I am currently practicing under a restricted license, A0000. This license is the pre-requisite for the
LCMHC license for new graduates and new counseling professionals. I am working towards my full
unrestricted licensure as an LCMHC 0000. I will be fully licensed once I achieve 3000 hours of practice
as Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am also under supervision by a Licensed Clinical Mental Health
Supervising Counselor while practicing with my restricted license. My supervisor is Maria Russell,
LCMHCS. She can be contacted by phone at 704-###-####.
Counseling Background
I believe that counseling is a unique experience based on a relationship of trust. I operate from a person-
centered approach and incorporate wellness techniques, strengths-based counseling strategies, cognitive-
behavioral strategies, and energy psychology methods into my practice. I am practicing these therapeutic
techniques with teenagers and adults, as well as utilizing play therapy techniques and creative
interventions with adolescents. I completed my internship experience at The Mindly Group, in Raleigh,
NC, where I worked with clients ages 5-50 on a wide range of mental health and wellness concerns
including depression, anxiety, family relationships, personal growth, and stress-management.

you are a danger to yourself or others (including child or elder abuse), or (c) I am ordered by a court to
disclose information.
