“Healing Hearts, Empowering Minds, and Restoring Relationships—One Encounter at a Time” My Ideal Client: You’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or a major life transition—and you’re ready for change. You may be struggling with low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm. You want to feel more in control, communicate better, and reconnect with your sense of self. Whether you’re a Teen, Adult, or Parent, you’re not just looking for someone to listen—you want real support, useful tools, and a path forward. I work best with individuals who are ready to collaboratively explore, heal, and grow.
As a LPCS-C, I can supervise LPCAs in SC. I’m an Independent Affiliate Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) for McLeod Regional Medical Center, MUSC (Medical Univ. of SC), Health Advocate EAP, and Magellan EAP. I provide Individual and Family Therapy for youth/adolescents (ages of 10 - 18, adults (ages of 18 - 55), and families in-person and via telehealth.
It is my goal to provide a safe, nurturing environment to facilitate your/your child’s personal growth emotionally, mentally, and holistically. I strive to assist others with self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-empowerment. I also believe that each person and their situation is unique, which is why I utilize an integrated approach to therapy.
