Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.
I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
Immediate availability for new patients! I prescribe medicine, supplements, minerals, and/or herbs to children and adults who struggle with anxiety, autism, ADHD (in children), OCD, depression, addiction, bipolar etc. I will work with your therapist or help find one who is a good fit for you!
My approach to therapy involves an interactive and collaborative style towards self discovery. I prefer to join in with my clients to achieve therapeutic goals that enhance their quality of life. I believe a therapy relationship is designed to facilitate the desired change or seeks to direct these efforts as appropriate for the client and counselor.
I served 30 years in the United States Army — including combat deployments — before becoming a licensed therapist. That wasn't a career pivot. It was a calling. I know what it feels like to carry things you can't explain to people who weren't there. I also know that those same people are often the ones you love most.I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider, serving individuals, couples, and groups across South Carolina — in person in Saint Matthews and online statewide. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety, with a particular focus on veterans, military families, and adults navigating the long aftermath of difficult childhoods.I'm trained in Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) — a pattern where emotional needs go unmet in childhood and quietly shape everything from relationships to self-worth to how you handle stress decades later. Many of my clients didn't grow up in crisis homes, but still find themselves struggling to connect, feel, or be fully present. That's often CEN. And it's treatable.I accept most major insurance plan. Sliding scale fees are available, and I facilitate tele-health sessions for insured clients across South Carolina.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Florence
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.
