Hi there, I'm Tasha!

We all experience periods in our life in which we may not have all the answers or make the right choices. At times we may also feel that no one can understand or relate to us due to our individual differences. My decision to become a mental health provider was greatly influenced by my past experiences in dealing with similar issues. I found it to be difficult to find a relatable therapist that I could learn to trust and openly share my feelings. My diverse background and resiliency have assisted in my ability to relate to individuals regardless of their socioeconomic status. As a result of this, I consider helping others in the area of mental health my passion and purpose. I believe a key component of therapeutic relationships is the establishment of rapport and creating trust between the counselor and the client while maintaining professional boundaries. As an extrovert, my behaviors and style of communication affirm this belief. I have been practicing for nine years and I am licensed in the states of NC and VA. I have counseling experience in community, school, and inpatient acute settings. Some of my areas of training include Substance Abuse, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Family Therapy. Clients served to include adolescents, children, adults, couples, and the LGBTQ population. Prior to becoming a licensed mental health provider, I served as a schoolteacher for 13 years. This experience strengthened my skills in working with children and adolescents who may suffer from self-esteem, school-related, and/or behavioral issues. Some of my areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, grief/loss, ADD, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and family therapy. My goal is to help you discover and utilize your personal strengths to address concerns and improve your mental well-being.
