Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, MA, LPCA
Greenville, SC 29601
Life is beautiful, and it’s also chaotic—especially in a world that’s constantly asking us to go, go, go. When we’re not busy, we may feel unproductive or even judged for slowing down. Over time, we can lose touch with ourselves and stop listening to what we truly need, both physically and mentally. These constant demands show up differently for each of us—through anxiety, depression, OCD, overwhelm, restlessness, indecision, physical symptoms, and so much more. Counseling offers a space to pause, tune back in, and begin responding to yourself with greater awareness and compassion.

I don't believe people need fixing. Too often, we carry shame, self-doubt, painful experiences, or the belief that we're somehow not enough. Through my own journey and years of helping others heal, I've learned that growth begins when we stop fighting our stories and start understanding them. I work with people navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Through compassionate support, honest conversation, and practical tools, I help people reconnect with their strengths, trust their voice, and create lives that feel authentic, meaningful, and their own. Healing has a story. Let's uncover yours.

Maybe therapy has felt “rigid” in the past, and that has felt uncomfortable to you. You’re looking for a truly nonjudgmental, but direct approach that feels natural and relatable. Maybe you have some physical symptoms of anxiety and overwhelm, or as an adult, you keep experiencing triggers related to childhood or other past trauma. You may even be trying to navigate the possibility that you are neurodivergent and you’re not sure what’s next.

Are you looking for a therapist who is direct and authentic? I believe in "telling it like it is" and bringing both my professional and personal experience to the conversation. I usually say I specialize in trauma, but honestely, I have yet to meet an adult who has not experienced trauma. The biggest injury from childhood trauma is when we become disconnected from our true selves. Many experiences can teach us to disconnect. My passion is inviting a conversation in which compassion and curiosity create an experience where we can find our Self. When we connect with our truth, we can find the way out of the struggle.

Sometimes life hits all at once. Relationships feel heavier, work drains you, and your confidence takes a hit you didn’t see coming. You’re capable, but the anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional burnout are getting harder to outrun. That's where I come in. With 10 years in the field, I work with adults who are done feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, and constant self-criticism. I’ll listen closely, ask the questions you’ve been avoiding, and help you see the patterns that keep pulling you off track. I show up with compassion, yes, but also honesty and practical steps you can actually use outside of session.

Waitlist for new clients
I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with issues that are either acute (recent) or chronic (lifelong). I find that it is particularly important to form a working relationship that will focus on a path of discovery that will begin to identify possible solutions. Often problems can be resolved quickly such as parenting issues and sometimes issues are very complex and require examining a thorough history of life experiences from childhood to the present. I am always amazed how my words stick with people for years and years and I believe that a journey of discovery takes many paths and has many time frames.

The goal is to help you learn how to help yourself by providing you tools and coping skills while processing the impact that life and others may have had on you.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
