Same Week Availability for Virtual Visits! My experience & training in medicine accompanied by my training in mental health counseling allows me to support my clients from a unique perspective. My approach to improved mental health is to address not only the present, but to look to the past to elicit both understanding about learned behaviors and beliefs, while also identifying times of strength that can be applied to present day struggles. I enjoy working with individuals who are facing challenges with relationships, chronic medical illness, perinatal mood disorders, life transitions, parenting and their careers.

Named Outstanding Counselor by the SC Counseling Association. My approach to counseling is different in three major ways: (1) I focus on solutions in order to help you - this is a positive, future rather than past oriented approach. (2) I work on a brief therapy model which is designed to help you address specific issues in short periods of time, typically 3 to 9 weeks. (3) I believe emotion drives behavior; most therapy focuses on cognitive change, but you can know what you need to do, and still not have it happen. The goal here is to help healthier behaviors and beliefs to become emotionally comfortable habits.

Are you living the life that you envisioned when you were growing up? Were you well on your way to building the future you imagined, when all of a sudden, life hit you from out of nowhere and temporarily derailed you?

Do past traumatic events tend to keep you held hostage in your "safe place"? If you answered yes there is hope.

My love for therapy is driven by the opportunity to empower my clients to become the best versions of themselves despite whatever is going on in life. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own life and that therapy is a collaborative process of listening, understanding and working together to create change. I approach our work together by looking at the whole person, both mind and body, to determine and utilize the most appropriate evidence-based treatment. I enjoy working with general life transitions, stress, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, and prenatal/postpartum mood disorders.

I believe each client is unique and different and should be exposed to a powerful individual experience in the therapeutic process.
