About

I am a South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience providing individual, couple, and group counseling. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including marital and relationship, depression, anxiety, parenting problems, career challenges, transition challenges, and spiritual concerns. I am a veteran and a retired service-member and in so being am very familiar with the challenges of the military lifestyle.
My counseling style is relaxed, accepting, warm and interactive. I adapt my approach to the needs of the client. For example, a client who is having difficulty making a career decision would likely have very different needs and expectations of counseling than would one who was trying to manage an unruly toddler. My primary orientation is cognitive-behavioral but as previously stated, I borrow from other schools liberally. Depending on your needs my approach may be more client-centered/growth oriented, behavioral, skill building, or even psychodynamic. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you.
