Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Charleston, SC covered by Cigna

Being a therapist has consistently helped me find special compassion for those in need. I started my practice based on three core beliefs: growth, resilience, and empowerment. I believe that every person is worthy of success, happiness, and wellness. This often involves changing dysfunctional habits, reframing beliefs and the self and the world, and empowerment. All things are possible, but don't need to be accomplished alone!

Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of

therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the

collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic

through various treatment options.
