About me
I am an experienced clinical social worker dedicated to helping clients ages 15+ in addressing trauma, mental illness, life stressors, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, or navigating life with neurodivergence.
My priority is to help you find the solution that works best for you. By listening carefully and asking the right questions I work with you to create a tailored plan that addresses your needs. I genuinely care about people and use a variety of modalities, theoretical perspectives, and techniques to create a strong therapeutic relationship in a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of South Carolina in 2002 and a BA in Psychology from Erskine College in 1997. Since 1997, I have worked in a variety of behavioral health settings, including disability services, mental health, hospice, home health, long-term care facilities, and domestic violence intervention with perpetrators. I have been an independently licensed clinical social worker since 2007 but opened my private practice in 2011. Over the years, I have maintained training and certifications in
Though treatment is tailored to fit the client, I am most influenced by humanism and systems theory. While I am trained in and practice a wide variety of modalities, some of my favorites are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting (BSP), somatic experiencing, narrative exposure therapy (NET), internal family systems (IFS), and hypnotherapy. I am an Academy Certified Social Worker and a Certified Hypnotherapist with a focus on relaxation-based pain relief (RBPR) and trauma treatment. I currently maintain memberships in the National Association of Social Workers and the National Guild of Hypnotists.
