I specialize in a range of evidence based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Insight-Oriented Therapy, Crisis Management, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. These approaches are tailored to help you address issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, stress management, ADHD as well as personal growth.
My Education & Experience
My 30-year professional journey has encompassed both inpatient and outpatient settings, providing me with a diverse range of experiences and insights. With over 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I spent the majority of my career at Highgate Clinic, working alongside Dr Bahman Malekpour, where I enhanced my skills and deepened my clinical knowledge through his mentorship. In 2023, I embraced a new chapter by founding Synergy Wellness Clinic - a practice designed to offer the same high quality care with an expanded focus on whole-person wellness.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Meredith College and a Masters Degree (MSW) from UNC Chapel Hill. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in North Carolina. I am also licensed to provide telehealth clinical services in South Carolina and Florida.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of all areas of health, my approach emphasizes the need to integrate insights from other providers such as primary care, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc... After all, your overall wellbeing is a combination of your physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
