I became a therapist in 2019. I studied at the University of South Carolina for my undergraduate studies, majoring in psychology. My master's degree is in Counseling Education with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. For the last 6 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. The purpose of therapy is to provide a supportive and collaborative space for growth, healing, and self-understanding. My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional awareness, strengthen relationships, and foster a deeper sense of authenticity and balance within themselves and others. My therapeutic approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These approaches focus on understanding emotional experiences, identifying underlying needs, and exploring how past and present relationships influence current patterns of behavior and connection. Sessions are designed to help clients move from reactivity or self-criticism toward emotional regulation, self-compassion, and healthy communication. In individual therapy, the work centers on exploring emotions, inner parts, and relational patterns that shape one’s sense of self. The overall aim is to create lasting change through emotional insight, self-awareness, and relational healing.

For more than two decades, I have devoted my work to supporting individuals and communities in healing and rediscovering their capacity for connection, meaning, and joy. My path has woven together roles as a counselor, supervisor, researcher, and professor — each experience deepening my understanding of how people grow, heal, and thrive when met with compassion and authenticity. At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each person’s innate wisdom and resilience. I approach therapy as a collaborative, embodied process, one that invites curiosity, self-compassion, and mindful awareness. In my practice, I integrate somatic awareness, mindfulness, self-compassion, and narrative exploration to help clients reconnect with their sense of safety, belonging, and purpose. Together, we explore not just how to relieve suffering, but how to live with greater presence, integrity, and alignment. I strive to create a space where people feel deeply seen and supported, a place where growth and healing can unfold at a natural, sustainable pace. My therapeutic approach is informed by both clinical research and lived experience. I draw from relational, somatic, and contemplative traditions that honor the mind-body connection and the profound impact of relationship on healing. I believe that growth arises through relationship, through embodied awareness, and through the courage to meet ourselves with compassion. Beyond my professional identity, I am continually inspired by the natural world, the wisdom of horses, and the quiet moments that remind us of our interconnectedness. These experiences keep me grounded in my own practice of presence and guide the heart of my work - helping others reconnect with their inner strength, their story, and their innate capacity to heal and flourish.
