Mental Health Counseling at Gentle Hope Counseling

I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Hickory counseling with specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I earned my bachelor’s in social work in 2017 and my master’s degree in social work in 2020 from Appalachian State University. After completing my master's degree, I practiced in a nonprofit organization, serving as a school-based therapist and a crisis response clinician for children and adolescents. For the past two years, I have been in a private outpatient practice offering therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults.

My work focuses on delivering mental health support to individuals with Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and those who have experienced trauma. I believe that everyone is on a journey and that we all need a little help along the way. I would love to be a part of your journey and help you be the best version of yourself. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of my clients and am committed to helping them navigate their challenges and achieve emotional success.
