I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with over 30 years of experience. I have worked in private settings as well as educational settings. I have worked with clients with many different concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship issues, career changes, and ADHD. I have experience with adults, children and adolescents. My therapy style is kind, warm and collaborative. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is a mix of cognitive-behavioral, brief solution oriented therapy and Christian based values. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan to meet your individual and specific needs.

Do realize if you cancel your scheduled appointment with less than 24 hours notice, it will be marked as a No Show in the BetterHelp system. We know emergencies occur, and we will more than accommodate those cases, but cancelling without appropriate notice affects our availability to others and our own personal schedules. I thank you in advance for your consideration! My available days are primarily Mondays and Wednesdays. Presently I have limited evening hours. I have recently retired and I am now working on a part-time basis plus spending time with our 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter! People decide to enter counseling for a variety of different reasons. When you take that first courageous step to receive help for yourself and/or your family, you begin the road to a more fulfilling and purpose filled life! I look forward to working with you!
