Great to meet you!

I help individuals with the following, but not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Self-esteem, Stress, Coping Skills, Work Stress, Family issues, Boundaries, and more. Meeting my clients where they are so that they're understood and heard is important.

I have a Master's in Counseling from Webster University & received my Bachelors of Arts degree at the University of South Carolina.

My approach to therapy

I am a strong believer in meeting my clients where they are in order to recognize what they want out of the process and what they're willing to do to be a part of their own solution. I want my clients to have a safe space to be heard and valued, while also recognizing that as a counselor, I will equip clients to proactively face and address challenges, past patterns of behavior, and/or mindsets.

What you can expect from me

I like to create a space where my clients can speak freely, be heard, gain insight into perspectives beyond their current view so that they can be an active part of their therapeutic process. Clients will be able to identify and walk in their own strengths by being equipped with the skills and strategies to take charge of their own lives independently.
