I especially enjoy working with couples. I think one of my strengths is balancing my comments and attention so that both members of a couple feel they have been heard and validated. I fully believe that the highest indicator of the usefulness of therapy is the therapeutic relationship I am able to develop with my clients. I am LGBTQ friendly in a town where many people are tremendously judgmental and closed. Providing a safe place for my clients to be themselves is a priority.

Meeting and speaking about your personal struggles with a stranger can be nerve racking. It comes with feelings of awkwardness and anxiety. You find yourself leaving your comfort place and all the hiding places you have created, to a place that is unknown. I can promise you I will be there all the way supporting and encouraging you to make those life changes you are looking for. We go through life feeling alone, misunderstood, living in fear, anxiety, and anger all the time.

Couples often enter my office feeling like their best efforts to share with their partner are met with anger, defensiveness or nothing at all. They so badly want to feel close and understood, but with each attempt to reach out they once again feel hurt and alone. Their partner often feels like despite their best efforts, they keep hearing what they got wrong leaving them feeling like they can’t ever seem to get it right. As these stuck places continue, of course it is easy to start to feel exhausted and hopeless as it seems you are all out of moves and maybe even tired of trying.

Life is a journey that can be full of uncertainty. At times we need the assistance of a trusted guide that can help keep us on track, be a sounding board to offer support, and help coach us through the most difficult moments. My calling as a therapist is to provide assistance throughout this journey while helping you move beyond your past, develop new skills, and hone in on your strengths. My motto for therapy is: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." -Carl Jung

It feels like you don't even know how to talk to the people in your own home anymore. It hasn't always been this way, but for awhile now, you and your significant other just aren't on the same page. Maybe it feels like you don't really know your kids, ever since they've become teenagers it's like you can't communicate with them. You miss having the real intimacy with your spouse. You miss being close with your family. You want that again but it feels like there's this wall between you, everything is a fight, and you don't know how to fix it.

Immediate openings for telehealth! I have experience in various settings, including Family Therapy, Individual Therapy, and Marriage and Couples Therapy. I am originally from Kentucky and moved to South Carolina when I was 13 years old due to my dad retiring from the military after 22 years. I am very passionate about helping military personnel and their families. I come from a long line of service members and am an Army wife. My life-long connection to the military gives me a unique perspective to help military families. My preferred age range is 13 and up.

"No one is useless who lightens the burdens of another." - Charles Dickens - To live is to experience struggles and sometimes we need support in those moments to rise to the occasion, move the spotlight, or come out of the dark. I believe that we are each the experts of ourselves, and with this in mind, I endeavor to assist in creating personal goals with clear steps for desired change.

We all face things in life that create barriers and challenges in our daily lives. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can all significantly impact how we live our lives. Effective healing happens when you are prepared to do the necessary work and when you have the best practices for a healthy lifestyle. I offer an integrative approach to these issues by combining components of traditional psychotherapy and holistic mental health. Integrating these practices, offers you a more holistic healing experience that transcends "just talking about your problems". Holistic Mental Health offers the opportunity for wholeness: mind/body/spirit.

I believe when you are struggling with traumatic stress, negative-false beliefs often stick and prohibit you from change. Through talk therapy and EMDR, I believe there is a benefit in addressing the issue(s) head on; along with looking in ourselves for processing potentials. Through collaborative work, goals will be met and a more positive, realistic outlook on life will hold true. Traumatic Stress is an intrusion that can manifest within you as any number of symptoms (flashbacks, intense emotions, somatic sensations, nightmares, pervasive life themes, and character styles).

Anxiety, depression, and the experience of grief and loss can all feel like heavy clouds casting shadows over every aspect of your life, keeping you stuck and preventing you from living life fully. Whether you are struggling with difficult emotions such as sadness, fear, shame, anger, panic, or life limiting behaviors such as overthinking, constant worry, isolation, or avoidance, effective therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions, gain insight into your unique circumstances, learn coping strategies, and reclaim control over your mental health.

Thank you for taking the first step on this journey and seeking help. This is no easy feat. Self-work and change can feel daunting. As a result, we often feel stuck, unable to access or implement fundamental life changes even with several tools under our belt. I specialize in working with adults and couples implementing evidence based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. Issues that I specialize in include working with trauma, mood/anxiety disorders, depression and relationship difficulties. I provide tele-health services, either over the phone or using a secure video platform.

Let me help you. My passion is to help people find ways to live their lives more effectively. Many people admit that they do not know what to do to help their situation. A recognition of the need for change is the first step. Counseling can offer guidance that will help people avoid common mistakes and find solutions. If you are motivated to better yourself, I would like to offer you help.

Life can become especially difficult at times, to the point that your best efforts are not making a difference. Your point of concern may be with mental health, relationship or family, job or career, marriage, athletic performance, or spiritual life. You need more than pat answers. What you want is the opportunity to be heard in a safe, confidential place. What you long for is to be understood, and to discover what will help bring about improvement, restoration, and transformation.

Do you feel stuck? Like you are only living a half-life, barely able to keep your head up, sinking beneath the waves of life? You may find yourself struggling to cope with work, school or family life. Whether you are experiencing the pain of depression, anxiety, grief, loss, or have experienced trauma, you don't have to do this alone. It is possible to feel better again and counseling can help.

One day you realize, "I do not know this person I see in the mirror". It's heartbreaking going day to day feeling unfulfilled and knowing that something is off. You know that there are changes to be made but have no idea on how to get there. Maybe it started with you, maybe because of others, or maybe you have been feeling this way for as long as you can remember. Depression is hard. Anxiety is hard. Trauma is hard. Loss, stress, transitions, worry, relationships issues and so many other life challenges can be hard and get in the way of you living the life you desire and deserve.

Now accepting new clients! My counseling approach is largely based on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have interests specifically in the areas of grief and loss, marriage & couples’ relational issues, and family of origin issues. I see my role as a counselor as a partner who works with the client to process feelings, find healing, and regain hope. I believe that each client can navigate the challenges and the changes life brings and am committed to helping my clients work toward achieving symptom reduction, more self-awareness, & increased confidence.
