I am licensed in South Carolina with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I have worked with families and individuals from age 5 and up with multiple issues and difficulties in their individual lives. I have provided therapy in community mental health, school-based counseling, and I have worked in the mobile crisis field. I have also directed therapy programs for people with chronic severe mental illness.
I believe it is important that counseling is looked at as a partnership between two people where we work together to find solutions to the problem presented with you being the author of your own life. I provide counseling based on client centered approach, while integrating other approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I like to keep each session individualized to your needs and will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I feel it is important that the session is a place that you can feel you are understood and supported.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I only see clients after normal business hours so if you are seeking appointments from 8am-6pm Monday-Friday I am not the most suitable therapist for you. I am looking forward to working with you.

Jill is absolutely a God Send! She is extremely relatable, easy to talk to and in a few sessions is already helping me to live a better life. I highly recommend her to anyone sorting through past trauma or even just help living daily life.
