Are you struggling with OCD, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges? Are you tired of cycling through constant worry, overwhelm, fear, relationship conflict or painful memories from the past? I provide virtual therapy for adults across South Carolina who feel stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts, overthinking, stress, emotional overwhelm, or recurring relationship conflict. I help clients build practical skills they can implement in their lives to reduce symptoms, improve relationships, and create lasting change. Treatments utilized include I-CBT for OCD, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy and somatic body work.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, warm, approachable, and direct. Sessions with me allow clients to slow down, breathe and just be. I invite and bring humor to session where appropriate. Professional without being stuffy! Offering virtual therapy throughout South Carolina allows services to be easily accessible and convenient for all.
As a therapist with lived experience of some of the conditions and issues I treat, I bring a compassionate and unique understanding to session that help clients feel seen, heard and understood on a very human level.
