- LPC
As a licensed therapist serving South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional well-being. My practice centers on empowering adolescents, young adults and women through compassionate, strength-based counseling. My expertise is providing support for clients to build self-esteem, develop effective communication skills, and work through challenges related to life purpose and personal identity.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on addressing abandonment concerns, managing anger, and supporting healthy emotional adaptation. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they discover their inner strength, heal from past experiences, and create more fulfilling lives. My work is guided by a deep respect for individual experiences and a belief in each person's capacity for growth and positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
