I often see clients are hesitant to begin therapy for fear of needing to tell their life stories. This isn’t my style; I am much more interested in what is happening here and now. The details of the experiences that have happened previously will reveal themselves as needed throughout the therapeutic process. In therapy, my clients drive the bus and I simply help navigate them through the experience. I believe the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is one that is built on trust and collaboration, which takes time to develop. My goal is to provide the type of therapeutic environment that my clients are looking for.

I work with my community from children to adults, helping them navigate feelings of anxiety/depression, trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, etc. Healthy childhood development and relationships begin with parents/caregivers so collaborating with them is key while working with children. During therapeutic sessions I use developmentally appropriate interventions based on the client’s learning style, maturity, age, and interests. Growth mindset principles are frequently woven into my work with clients- learning new skills for managing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges require effort and perseverance leading to growth.

You may feel stuck—held back by trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt—longing for relief, clarity, and connection. My ideal client is ready to confront what’s no longer serving them and seeks a path to healing that’s both compassionate and effective. You want to understand yourself better, break free from old patterns, and feel empowered in your relationships and daily life. Through EMDR and integrative trauma therapy, I help clients process the past and build the inner strength needed for lasting growth and meaningful change.

For the past decades, I have had the pleasure of treating and families here in the Lowcountry. I work with clients who have a variety of mood disorders (such as Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder), Anxiety Disorders (such as Panic Disorder & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), ADHD, Physical and Sexual abuse, Developmental Disorders, Bereavement, etc. The healthcare community uses labels to diagnose, understand and treat mental disorders. However, in my practice, I strive to treat my clients as individuals and give them the respect they deserve. I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, therapeutic relationship with my clients.

It's hard sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences, especially if you don't know who to trust. You’ll know when you’ve found the right therapist because you will feel seen, heard and understood, and the journey of seeking help will become a little easier. There is no single answer on how to deal with life’s challenges and therapy requires you to be open and honest. I'm committed to providing a safe space in an environment free from judgment for that to happen, while guiding you through the process of self-discovery and healing.

You’ve been grappling with the aftermath of a toxic or traumatic relationship that left you questioning everything about yourself. The process of breaking free, or even reflecting on the recent escape, feels like an emotional whirlwind. You feel vulnerable and uncertain because the trust you once had in yourself and others has been shattered. Sometimes you even question if you were with a narcissist, or if it was YOU. Beacuse of this, you’re unsure of who you are and what you want. It’s as if the very core of your identity has been upended, and rebuilding that sense of self seems daunting.

When I picture my ideal client, I see someone who senses that life has gotten out of rhythm—maybe they feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from their body and their true voice. They might be navigating a big transition (a new move, relationship shift, career change, or identity exploration) and carry a mix of excitement and overwhelm. Under the surface is a deep longing to feel present, empowered, and whole. What they need most is a safe, non-judgmental space to slow down and listen inward. They value curiosity over perfection, authenticity over pretense, and are ready to try!

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
