Welcome :) An early question I'll ask is, 'what do you want from this?' As the client, you may not have a specific answer. My approach to counseling is more unconventional, relaxed, and strength based. Whether you know what you want or feel more uncertain in the moment, we'll collaborate to explore your goals and how we can navigate them together. I lean more towards a harm reduction framework, meeting a client where they are (a humanistic approach), but also challenging the stressors and thought patterns that keep them there (cognitive behavioral). Learning your relationship to the mood, substance, or behavior is where we begin.
My work background is in outpatient centers and opioid treatment programs in New York. I began in 2021 and continued my work when moving back to South Carolina in 2024. I recognize that substance use frequently cooccurs with underlying anxiety or depression; we address them together and build your own style of recovery.
If you feel I'm a good fit (or just considering that a something is problematic in your life), I want to listen. I offer an initial free phone consultation (15-20 minutes) to give you an idea of what our work will look like together. In addition to this, I've taught psychology and personality courses for Columbia College here in SC.

While my focus is substance use disorder, I recognize mood & anxiety disorders frequently manifest. I encourage those with alternate stressors (such as separation, work stress) to also reach out. We begin with an open conversation (I call it 'starting from zero') and build from there. My practice is individualized, emphasizing exploration, self-efficacy, and balance.

I utilize motivational interviewing (MI) because it initiates an open conversation about where someone is in their recovery. Being that addiction exists on a continuum, exploring one's readiness for change is important. I also integrate facets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when it comes to challenging negative thought patterns and reframing them. I like to keep it simple
