Licenses & Credentials

Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA)
After earning my Master’s in Social Work, I chose to further my expertise by immediately pursuing a second Master’s degree and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. This rigorous six-year journey included an APPIC-approved predoctoral placement, ensuring comprehensive training in assessment, intervention, and evidence-based clinical practice. While my path differed from the traditional LCSW licensure timeline, I am now actively completing the required supervised hours under the guidance of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. -
NC Psychology License – Applicant Status
Earning a Psy.D. in North Carolina requires rigorous academic and clinical training, including thousands of hours of supervised experience in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

Currently, I hold an Applicant License, which grants me full approval to practice under supervision while I prepare for my board examination. Upon passing, I will transition to Provisional Licensure, followed by a year of supervised practice before achieving full independent licensure. -
Collaborative Supervision for Excellence
To ensure the highest level of care, I engage in weekly dual supervision—one hour under an LCSW and another with a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. This rigorous oversight enhances the depth and quality of my clinical work, providing my clients with a truly integrative approach to therapy.
