A Little About Me

I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can be fully honest - maybe for the first time in a long time.

 A lot of the women I work with are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They're managing careers, relationships, family, and expectations - and somewhere in all of that, they've lost track of themselves. That's not a character flaw. That's just what happens when you've been taking care of everything and everyone except yourself.

Couples come to me when they've tried everything - or when they feel like they've run out of ways to say what they actually mean. The communication has broken down, or the distance has quietly grown, and neither person is sure how to get back to where they used to be. That's exactly where I come in.

  • I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) fully licensed in South Carolina. I am also a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned a B.A. at the University of South Carolina and an M.Ed. at The Citadel.

    I spent my early career as a K-12 School Counselor specializing in children with ADHD, language-based learning disabilities, and more.

    I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). I use a holistic, integrative approach in all sessions.

    • Anxiety and worry that won't quiet down

    • Life transitions - career changes, new relationships, loss, becoming a mother, empty nest

    • Self-worth and people-pleasing patterns

    • Relationship challenges - communication, trust, intimacy, conflict

    • Couples therapy and premarital counseling

    • Stress and burnout

    • Trauma and its impact on daily life

  • I'll be honest with you - I'm not a blank-slate therapist. I'm warm, I'm direct, and I'm genuinely invested in what happens in your life between sessions, not just during them. I'll challenge you when I think it matters, and I'll sit with you quietly when that's what you need.

     My approach draws from CBT, ACT & EFCT — but more than any technique, I believe healing happens in the context of a real, trusting relationship. That's what I'm most committed to building with you.

    Therapy with me won't be about dwelling in what went wrong forever. We'll spend time understanding it - and then we'll figure out what to do about it.

  • I’m a South Carolina native, a wife, and a mom. I love spending time with family and friends, reading, traveling, jogging, 00’s playlists, going to sleep by 9 p.m., and dancing like nobody is watching.
