About

Hi! I'm Dorothy, greetings to all!  I just moved to North Carolina.  I have a license in KY and NC.  Helping others is a lifelong work of mine.  I'm constantly learning and growing as I move through this world, myself.  Life is a journey and we are all trying to figure it out along the way.  I would be honored to be part of your journey.  You are the expert of your life!  I am just there to try to be a guide who can offer a different view.

Education & Licensure
I have my Bachelors of Arts from Morehead State University with an area of concentration in psychology. I received my Masters of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I come from a rural area where autism and neurodivergence were something no one understood.  I strive to help people figure out strengths within themselves so they can move forward in life.  Too many people are put down for being "too emotional" and I am tired of it.  We need to flip the script and look at things differently.  Many people on the spectrum have internal thoughts that continually feed them a negative view of themselves and of how others see them.  I want to work with people to help ease that.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

It's time for us to focus on strengths and what makes you amazing instead of the negative self-talk.  Let's focus on creating a life for yourself where you can work to be authentic and real, every day.
