Culturally Sensitive Support
I have lived overseas for almost 15 years while serving in the U.S. Navy for 7 years and living abroad in Europe and South America. Because of my time overseas and my husband working in the Middle East, I have a cultural understanding of how people feel when they are away from family, their country or loved ones which helps me to be a more effective therapist.
Professional Qualifications
I hold a Masters degree as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor here in North Carolina.
