I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in private practice in the Clemson area for over twenty years. My practice includes adults, adolescents, families, and couples. I work with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, as well as matters related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Fundamental to this is my belief that we are all individuals who affect and are affected by our families, groups of which we are a part, and the larger society. The variety of techniques I employ are all in the service of empowering my clients as they work toward healing.

If autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is why you found me here at Psychology Today, I am so glad you did. But I really want you to know why YOU should be happy too. As you know, our neurodivergent teens need our help—yours, mine, and the help of so many others. I know because not only am I an ASD Clinical Specialist, I’m a mother of two boys with ASD. So, finding me here, you’ve taken a large step in getting the assistance your family needs from someone that shares your story, knows your needs, your wants, and your desires. In other words, you’re not alone. Your family is not alone, and importantly, your autistic child is not alone.

Reaching out for help is the first (and often the hardest) step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Your courage and curiosity about how things may be different for you are enough to begin! Be PROUD of yourself for taking this step! I believe in a collaborative approach that includes cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based skills, brain science, and non-judgment. We will work together to determine your therapeutic goals and the steps to take to reach those goals.
