Trauma Focused Therapists in Columbia, SC

Are you in a season of finding meaning, searching for some peace, figuring out your purpose, trying to make sense of things, or healing from a situation? I offer individualized counseling, wisdom circles, and home funeral planning to help you find meaning, healing, and purpose in your life and death. I work with adults who are going through or have experienced traumatic stress, grief, critical incidents, existential issues, death, dying, moral injury, end-of-life matters, termination of pregnancy, loss to sudden or traumatic death, and suicide pre/ post-intervention.

Although everyone has unique struggles, we all share a desire to live free from emotional suffering. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to help with the challenges that you or your loved ones may be facing. While at times it can be helpful to identify symptoms or diagnoses, I also believe it's vitally important to build a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship that allows us to explore and resolve what's causing you to feel this way. I aim to collaboratively work through the things causing you pain in order to help achieve the life you hope to live.

Therapy is not magic and life does not have a hand book! During your therapy journey, I will walk aside you and partner with you. As a therapist, I strive to assist you in processing your thoughts, feelings, reactions and implementing techniques that will focus on the life you seek to live. The environment will be safe and nonjudgmental as we explore strategies that will aid you to move toward your goals.

I hold true to the idea that we all have an internal narrative rehearsing in our brains which sets the stage for our lives. I work with you to reinvent that internal narrative in order to create and maintain a new, desired version of self. I truly believe everyone has the potential to be their very own Great!!!

It isn't surprising that life comes with a series of changes. Many of us encounter different transitions along the way and are changed by them. I like to think of these experiences as growing pains.

You are not alone! I want to support you through your transitions and help you learn to trust yourself and your growing process. The first step can be overwhelming, but I will be here to walk you through it.
