Life is full of difficult moments made especially challenging when we are in them alone. My first priority as a counselor is to meet my clients where they are; to be with them in their hardship and pain. The feelings and situations that brought you to this page are not something to be belittled. They matter, just as you do, and I would be honored to walk beside you in this journey. You are worthy of care and support and I hope that I can be of help.
I specialize in working with adults and adolescents/teens struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, etc. I have a passion for helping those who have encountered religious trauma (especially LGBTQ+) and family-related trauma. I also enjoy seeing couples and can provide Christian-based counseling for clients that want that.
I mostly use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) but cater my approach to clients' specific needs. Finding the right fit in counseling is important. If we aren't the right fit, I would be happy to help refer you elsewhere. Feel free to call or text (843)-619-7928 with questions or to connect and see if we're a good fit.
