I have been practicing as a licensed clinical psychologist in the Columbia area for over 35 years. I use a caring, and direct, solution-focused approach to help individuals and couples to better understand themselves and to help them find solutions to their difficulties. I treat individuals who experience anxiety, depression, and addictions. I treat couples who are trying to understand how their relationship deteriorated, how to resolve conflicts, how to re-establish emotional intimacy, and how to prevent future difficulties. I also conduct psychological and custody evaluations for individuals and for the court system.

Accepting New Clients (in-person and telehealth). For the last 31 years I have had the privilege of walking with individuals and families through some of their most difficult times; trusted with their personal stories and pain. But through these journeys, I have witnessed miracles of growth and healing. Deciding to begin therapy can be a big step and it is important to work with a counselor you feel comfortable with. Therefore, I usually begin with a brief phone conversation where you are able to ask questions before scheduling an appointment. Now offering Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and DBT.

Are you trying to find meaning, searching for some peace, or trying to make sense of what life has dealt you? As a thanatologist, I provide individual counseling, grief groups, and in-home family end-of-life counseling to help you find meaning and healing, around death and dying. I work with adults and children who are going through or have experienced grief, end-of-life matters, loss to sudden or traumatic death, and suicidality, pre/ post-intervention. In addition to working with grief and bereavement, I work with individuals who have experienced critical incidents or violence-related trauma.

To me, counseling is a collaboration, embarking on a journey together to create personal growth and positive change. Coming to therapy takes a lot of resiliency, strength, and trust. Therefore, creating a space where my clients feel safe and within a comfortable environment is of the utmost importance. I want you to feel welcomed and I want you to feel heard. While some issues/concerns may be our focus during our work together, I want my clients to make strides towards overall wellness and balance within their lives.

My background includes providing individual therapy to young adults and adults with a variety of mental health issues. I also have experience working as a victim advocate for sexual abuse/assault, relationship/intimate partner violence, and stalking victims/survivors, with a comprehensive understanding of the individual and cultural/societal underpinnings of interpersonal violence. I find the relationship between physical and mental well-being an important part of therapy and focus on the neurobiology of stress and trauma when conceptualizing client issues and when making treatment recommendations.

Do you find it hard to relate to yourself, the people around you (and/or God) because the inner battles of perfectionism (in its various forms) are too loud and/or strong? We are designed to think of ourselves in parts, and when those parts are trapped in an old memory or a difficult narrative, it can be complicated to move forward. At MPC, we work on building emotional and faith resiliency skills, so that parts of you that are stuck can experience the wonder of curious compassion, discover renewed creative energy and grow towards wholeness.

I believe that every individual has the capacity to become the best version of themselves, given the opportunity and optimal environment to work toward change. As an LPC/A, I offer counseling services in a private practice setting. Additionally, I am a Doctoral Student in the Ph.D. program for Counselor Education & Supervision at the University of South Carolina. Working with clients is my passion, and that work supports my ability/passion to educate new counselors who are eager to join this profession! I work to meet each client exactly where they are, without judgement, and walk their path alongside them.

Past trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression robs you of your peace of mind. It also affects your relationships with others.

I'd like to help you by focusing on you, to identify your emotions, triggers, and uncover unhelpful patterns in your life.

Feeling like you are caught in a cycle that ends in frustration and pain? It is EXHAUSTING. Cycles within ourselves, with our partners, our kids, work, and friends. Life starts to feel really vicious. Whether I am working with you as an individual, couple, or family, I want to help loosen the grip of the loneliness that inevitably happens. I work from a place of relentless empathy. My style is authentic, direct, and compassionate. Much of my work and passion is influenced by my belief in a good God; however, how much (if at all) we discuss faith and spirituality is totally directed by you.

What we call a beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. -T.S. Eliot. Feeling lost and alone in our ends and our beginnings is normal. I believe change is hard and peace of mind sometimes requires the support of a caring professional. I want to be your advocate, a cheerleader on your sideline, and a partner empowering you on your journey towards healing. I passionately believe in working love into my therapy and supporting clients.
