I specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.
I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed therapist with over six years of experience in the field. Some of my areas of expertise and specializations include but are not limited to Anxiety, Depression, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem issues, addictions, personality disorders, and life decisions. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals/couples can explore their challenges, find solutions, and ultimately achieve greater well-being and personal growth.
I am licensed in South Carolina with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with lgbtq+ related issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I also have experience working with concentration, memory and focus (adhd). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Hi! I have been in private practice for 6 years. I have a doctorate in Community Care and Counseling with a focus in traumatology. If you feel stuck or anxious, I would love to help.

Therapy with me isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Together, we’ll work toward creating the kind of life and inner peace that feels more like you.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Florence starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare options, look for a Florence therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or relationship counseling.
In a smaller city like Florence, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across South Carolina while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides the session format you prefer. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Florence 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. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
