Helping other people brings me so much joy. That is why I decided to become a counselor. I have been working in the mental health field for about 20 years. I have encountered many people with various issues throughout the years. Helping a person move from a state of distress to feeling more like themselves again. I possess a Bachelor of Science in Experimental Psychology from USC-Spartanburg and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked in group homes, non profit organizations, substance abuse treatment programs, and I have facilitated in-home counseling focused on keeping the children in the home. I have experience doing Psychosocial Assessments for Opioid treatment and implantation of Spinal Cord Stimulators for insurance companies. I have experience working with family conflict, academic challenges, depression, ADHD, child abuse, neglect, difficulty with peers, social problems, out of home placement, and anxiety.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Blended Family Issues, Communication problems, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues

I am absolutely loving having Dorothy to talk to. She checks in with me when I’ve told her I’ve had a bad day to make sure things are looking up. She listens intently and relates things which makes me feel not so isolated in my struggles. She is wonderful
