About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of South Carolina. I am also a certified Health Coach and Life Coach. I have six years of experience as a practicing therapist working in private and public agencies, as well as, hospitals. I have a great deal of experience working with those who are coping with depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting issues. Relationship problems, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with addiction are also specialties of mine. I am a mother of four children, two of which were adopted, and the wife of a career serviceman. I personally know the unique challenges of military life and have received extensive training in this area. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and visiting new places. I love animals and have two dogs and three cats!

My counseling style is warm, genuine and collaborative. I believe in treating others in the same manner in which I would like to be treated. I meet clients where they are in life and work from that place. I feel honored when someone shares their personal struggles with me and in turn treat them with the utmost respect. I work very hard to be open-minded and non-judgmental. My approach combines evidence -based cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems therapies. We will work together to create a treatment plan that meets your individual needs and goals.

It is very difficult to take the first step toward feeling better and I applaud you for doing so. When you are ready to take the next step, I would love for us to work together. It would be a privilege to take this personal journey with you. I have day and evening times available. I am available by live chat, phone, and video.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Tonia has been a lifesaver for me. She is a great listener and offers great suggestions that I often have not thought about before. You will not be disappointed. I am forever grateful for Tonia's guidance as I was rewiring my brain

Tonia is an excellent therapist. I have only just started therapy with her and she makes me feel so comfortable and heard. I am thankful for such a great match!

Most comfortable and understanding person I’ve had the pleasure talking with. Tonia is understanding and respectful when navigating the thought process of her clients and I believe will help me over come my negative traits or habits that are restrictive to my personality development.

I only just finished my second session, but I really feel like Tonia listens to me and has already given me some healthy suggestions and guidance.

Tonia is the best therapist I’ve had and I’ve had quite a few. She genuinely wants to know your areas of concern to best know the way to help. She’s timely, responds to messages, and is a very down to earth person. She makes me feel heard and safe that what I say stays confidential. I had to stop therapy for a bit but specifically asked how to get matched with her again in the future and told myself I didn’t want to be matched with anyone else. I always feel so much better after our calls and can’t say enough great things about Tonia.

This has been the greatest decision I have ever made for my mental health and I am so lucky to have been matched with Tonia
