About

I am licensed in South Carolina with 13+ years of professional clinical mental health private practice experience as a clinician. I am a LPCS, LPC, LAC with additional specializations in Traumatology using EMDR, and am a National Board for Certified Counselors: National Certified CACREP Counselor with NCE credentials. I have experience assisting clients with various ranges of mental health nomenclature and co-occurring diagnoses. Here at Find A Therapist.com, we focus on underlining motivations, self esteem, coping with life changes, executive & professional coaching, rebuilding a healthy brain body response. I specialize in compassion fatigue, women issues, autoimmune disorders, and developmental psychology.
As a military veteran, and military retiree veteran wife and mother I provide inner knowledge of multiple severities of treatment issues with a lack of services to US military members, children, families WORLDWIDE. I offer 30 minute sessions via Find A Therapist.Com. I value treating each client with respect, sensitivity, positive regard, providing empathy (not sympathy), transparency, healthy compassion.
I tailor our dialog and treatment planning to meet unique specific needs in an integrative out of the box approach.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling, healthier life and take the first steps towards empowering yourself for change. I do not do the changing for you. I assist you to learn to “Get Up” when you feel knocked down emotionally, “Be Raised Up” in learning new responses for a healthier YOU, and how to learn to take your own steps to “Grow.” I am here to support & empower you in your journey to grow healthy.
