About me

As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship dynamics. I'm particularly passionate about working with older adults, women, and young professionals experiencing transitions, isolation, or seeking deeper self-understanding.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on communication, self-love, and personal growth. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients explore workplace challenges, family dynamics, sexuality, and life purpose. Whether you're processing a significant life transition like divorce, managing workplace stress, or addressing family-of-origin experiences, I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment.

I believe each person's journey is unique, and my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you discover your inner strengths and navigate personal healing.

She was very kind and very patient. She challenged me in a good way but offered support at the same time

I love this lady. Since I started doing therapy I’m starting to realize a lot of things. She gives great perspective and advice. I feel comfortable telling her EVERYTHING. Things I haven’t even told my best friend. Definitely a safe space and I don’t feel judged at all. She has really helped me and I’m so very thankful for her

Truly amazing therapist. She has helped me realize patterns and process deeply challenging things that come up from my childhood trauma and relationship with a parent.
