Welcome for the opportunity to get to know you. Reaching out for help is a healthy approach to navigate through life. Initially licensed in VA as a professional counselor, I am currently licensed in SC as an LPC, and in NC as an LCMHC.

I have completed three levels of training in the Gottman Model, a researched model for marriage and couples counseling. My experience as a LPC/LCMHC, and my life experience as a wife of 40 plus years, mother of 2 and grandmother of 8 has enriched my life to work with wisdom gleaned from "real life." I would like to meet you and help you move through the journey of your life.

I am a therapist that genuinely hopes the best for my clients and works to reach treatment expectations as determined by my clients. My experiences in life have provided insight to the struggles and difficulties life presents. I am a Generation Xer having been born in 1966. Most of my formative years were spent in Ohio. My family moved to South Carolina right as I entered into high school. Sports has played an important role in my life. My hopes of getting into recreation management was redirected in college. I discovered the Family Therapy course offered one semester in college and enrolled. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. So, that lead me into the pursuit of becoming a psychotherapist. The path of obtaining higher education and licensure as a professional counselor took me to Texas. I received my initial training through a seminary my grandfather attended in the early 1920s. In 1989, I married and moved to Texas to follow my dream. The training I received has served me well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the modality of choice for me in my practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy puts the emphasis on thoughts that lead to feelings which in turn manifest in our behaviors. Aiming to address the way we think and correct it can significantly impact lasting change to behaviors. I feel strongly about connecting with my clients and working toward a therapeutic alliance. Doing my best to give clients information, encouragement has been a successful formula in my practice.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in South Carolina and have been practicing for five years. I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2016.

In addition to the clients I engage with through BetterHelp, I am currently the Program Coordinator for an intensive community mental health clinic that serves a vulnerable population with severe and persistent mental illness. My areas of focus are trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, sexual satisfaction, identity navigation, body image concerns, self-esteem, substance abuse, relationship issues, high stress work environments, life transitions, childhood, and excessive social media use. I have been privileged to gain experience working with clients of all ages during various stages of their lives and my diverse professional experience and trainings have afforded me considerable expertise treating a wide range of individuals and identified symptoms. In conjunction to working one-on-one, my background includes collaborative treatment of couples and families. The experience of engaging in therapy is unique for everyone, and it requires vulnerability and a great deal of trust. My therapeutic approach is personalized to each client, which allows the sessions to be centered around you with an emphasis on where you are currently. I utilize my therapeutic approach in conjunction with my interactive therapy style to cultivate a healthy therapeutic relationship to create a safe and affirming space to heal, to expand the things that are working, and to encourage personal freedom and empowerment. Finally, I want to acknowledge the effort required by you to begin the therapeutic process. My hope is that your motivation continues and your experience results in you feeling empowered.
