I am licensed in South Carolina with 3 years of post-grad professional work experience. I have extensive experience working with people with trauma histories, anxiety, depression, low motivation, and low self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone from a holistic lens, focusing on mind, body, and spirit, and hold the utmost respect for my clients.
My treatment approach includes using skills building to manage emotions and improve communication, as well as exploring and healing present and past life situations that have contributed to patterns of distress or problematic behaviors.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
