About
As someone who understands how it feels to be overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself, I know the struggle of trying to navigate that journey alone, and the relief that can come from having someone to talk to.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals move toward healthier emotional patterns, stronger self-awareness, and more meaningful well-being. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in helping clients manage persistent anxiety and challenging emotional symptoms.
I earned my master’s degree in human services counseling from Liberty University. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic principles to support both practical skill building and deeper insight. This balanced foundation helps clients understand the roots of their challenges while learning tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
I know reaching out can feel overwhelming, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this process. I aim to create a safe, grounded space where you feel heard and supported as we work through your concerns together. I look forward to meeting you, listening to what you need, and helping you take meaningful steps toward relief and lasting change.

Having journeyed through adversity, loss, and personal challenges, I have gained a profound empathy for those who feel defeated or lost yet remain determined to awaken their inner strength and develop new skills to navigate the ever-changing roller coaster of life.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and moments of uncertainty. I create a warm, safe, and validating space where clients feel grounded, understood, and empowered.

I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from South University. I utilize approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to support meaningful change. I tailor my approach to each person’s needs and goals.
I believe every person holds the capacity to heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of clarity and purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and encouragement as you navigate both challenges and breakthroughs. You deserve support that honors your strengths, your story, and your journey. I would be honored to work with you.

Cannabis use disorder counseling at Thriveworks Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

If weed is inhibiting your everyday functioning and/or causing distress in your life, you are in good company. Many people need and seek out professional help for their cannabis use. The cannabis use disorder therapists at Thriveworks Charleston know what it takes to help people detox and equip them with the tools to live without cannabis. Reach out today for help.
DSM-5 acknowledges the addiction as Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), and it defines CUD as marijuana use for a minimum of one year while experiencing lowered daily functioning and increased agitation as displayed by two or more of these symptoms:
Therapy may help people navigate detox and its challenges. Especially if people have used cannabis to avoid or relieve emotional pain, a skilled therapist can help people process and resolve the emotions that flood them during detox. Therapy may also equip people to handle life’s challenges in a healthier way. Recovering from CUD has a lot of challenges, and there are no quick-fixes. But people who seek help and overcome their CUD are usually happier they did. Some of the potential benefits of recovery include…
Thriveworks Charleston has appointments available for treating Cannabis Use Disorder. Think about the symptoms for CUD. Did you recognize any of the behaviors in your own life? If so, it may be time to seek help.
