About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing tele-health therapy to adults throughout South Carolina. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
I believe that meaningful change happens within a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. As a counselor, I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative, helping clients explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I work with adults facing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the everyday stresses that can make life feel overwhelming.
