As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I bring over two decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and addressing mental health concerns with empathy and professional expertise. My clinical orientation focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, ACT and Mindfulness. At times our work together may include art, music, journaling and activities based on client preferences and needs.
I specialize in helping clients navigate diverse emotional landscapes, including depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and life transitions. My therapeutic work focuses on building resilience and supporting individuals struggling with self-esteem, social anxiety, workplace challenges, and personal growth.
Drawing from a Christian-informed perspective, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. My practice centers on guiding individuals toward self-acceptance, purpose, and resilience, particularly for those experiencing isolation, trauma, or significant life changes.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients with genuine care, respect, and a collaborative approach that honors each person's unique journey and inherent strengths.
