I then spent two years working in a child advocacy center where I was a child therapist and forensic interviewer. I am trained and certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and problematic sexual behavior cognitive behavioral therapy for children ages 7-12 (PSB-CBT).

Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.
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!
My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.
Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

Searching for therapists in Columbia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Columbia therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes.

Some therapists may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles.
Columbia offers a balanced mix of local therapy options, with therapists serving areas near Downtown, Shandon, Forest Acres, Five Points, and nearby communities. You may prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, or a virtual appointment that fits more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what sessions may look like, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.
Therapy in Columbia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable.
