About

I am a licensed independent social worker in South Carolina, with 9 years of counseling experience. My experience has included providing direct counseling support to individuals and families struggling with mental health needs. Throughout my experience I have worked with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and identities. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. Most of my work comes from helping people who have presenting concerns to include depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, psychotic spectrum disorders, and those with co-occurring substance use disorders. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings throughout my career thus far. I have a passion for helping others, and in my free time I enjoy volunteering with a local food pantry as well as with an organization that helps to serve individuals who are struggling with homelessness.

My counseling style combines being caring, compassionate, and direct. I want to create an environment where you feel safe and validated. I also want to try to be that voice of reason to help you process through a difficult situation. I am most trained and fluent in providing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and create a collaborative relationship that empowers you to navigate through the challenges that life presents.

If you feel that you are ready to commit to change and would like support in achieving that, you have come to the right place for help. This is a big journey and you have so bravely taken the first step to start your new path.

I am looking forward to meeting you!
