As a Christian counselor, I believe a person's problems and concerns can encompass their physical, mental, and spiritual health. My goal is to provide therapy that addresses a client's deeper issues and wounds not just their symptoms. I consider it important to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to promote development, healing and growth. I work with depression, anxiety, PTSD & trauma recovery, marriage/pre-marital therapy and parent education. If life feels overwhelming, stressful or lonely, I would consider it a privilege to set up a consultation to offer hope and courage for your current situation.

Accepting New Clients. So, you’ve decided to ask for support. The first step takes courage, and you made it! You’re well on your way to moving yourself up on your priority list. Maybe like many of my clients, you’re struggling with anxious thoughts or depression. Maybe you’ve put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own for so long, you’ve forgotten how to be kind to yourself. Maybe your inner critic has gotten so loud, you’ve started to believe the worst about who you are. Whatever is bringing you to therapy, I'm here to help.

I specialize in supporting individuals, caregivers, and families affected by illness. I practice with warmth and compassion and utilize a strengths-based approach with my clients. Coping with illness and caregiving can be incredibly difficult. I offer a safe space to emotionally process these issues individually, and also assist with facilitating thoughtful, but challenging conversations between couples and family members. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. I also offer grief counseling for those coping with loss and major life change.

Accepting New Clients. In 2012, my nephew was murdered. Nothing in life could have prepared my family and me for the sudden loss that shattered our worlds. I sought the help of a professional counselor who guided me to healing through support and compassion. The concept of "you have to go through the pain to get to the healing," enabled me to transition from accepting the death of my nephew to healing and moving forward. By turning pain into purpose, I've made a complete professional pivot from education to counseling.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental ear just to listen? If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost, or struggling with a problem that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy can help. I enjoy working with clients who are managing health and medical concerns, such as disordered eating/body image concerns, cancer and/or autoimmune diseases. I also appreciate helping people undergo the process of adapting to a loss, or other major life transitions.

I believe life is a journey, not a destination. Life is a gift. Due to uncertainties, hardships, and even joy, the road on our journey of life is not always smooth. Throughout our travel, we encounter challenges which test our strength, courage, faith, and alliances. I embrace the challenges, examine strengths, as well as give permission to experience the deviations. I value and respect the uniqueness everyone possess. I will work with you to explore healthy ways to manage the stressors along the journey to improve your quality of life. I subscribe to the belief "there are no problems only solutions".

I am an author, and a speaker, known for my books : "No Time for Tears: Coping with Grief in a Busy World" and “I Miss Matthew” as well as my work with the New York City Firefighters after September 11th. I founded The Life Guidance Center in Charleston, SC, where I practice along side my esteemed colleagues.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! As your counselor, I don’t have all the answers. I can’t make your dreams come true, that extra 10lbs disappear or your marriage happy. But – I can help YOU make all those things happen. Therapy is hard work – I’ll tell you that now. I’ll challenge you, call out nonsense and push you to be the best version of yourself you can be. I will also be your biggest cheerleader, your bulldog and ultimately, your guide. I can’t promise you therapy with me will be easy. But I can promise you if you put in the work, it'll be worth it.

In our busy and stress filled days, the intense feelings generated by everyday life, childhood neglect or abuse, life transitions, separation/divorce and loss of a loved one often turn our busy world upside down. It is in the midst of these life events I have found my calling and work. You are not alone! Many others have journeyed the path of anxiety, despair, fear, loneliness and, yes depression to a place of hope and freedom and joy.

I am NOW accepting NEW clients. Perhaps you have thought about counseling, but you aren't sure how to begin. I believe that nothing is more important than creating a safe, trusting, therapeutic relationship with you - a relationship in which you move at your own pace to explore your own concerns, hopes, and dreams. I want you to experience the difference that a caring counselor can make in your life!

I believe everybody has the ability to heal from trauma and experience growth from difficult life experiences. Difficult life experiences – whether recent or from years ago – often impact us relationally, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, phobias, grief, addiction, attachment related issues, and work-related stress do not have to control your life. Our work together will help you reconnect to your true self in order to live a more full and authentic life. I utilize various therapeutic modalities to meet the needs and goals of each individual client.

You are not alone. Through our therapeutic relationship, you will resolve problems, be empowered, and attain the healing you need to find joy and transform your life.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. You may have had a loss that has left you unable to participate in your own life the way you hoped. Maybe you are dealing with anxiety or depression that is unrelenting and seems to come out of nowhere, or maybe you just need help navigating changes. All of these things can begin to wear away at your well-being and make you question your place in the world. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to find the tools that are a solid fit for you and to help you find positive, healthy ways to manage and thrive.
