About
I know how difficult life can be, and I have valuable skills to meet you where you are and help you move in the direction of the life you want to live.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adolescents and adults facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, self-esteem challenges, and identity-related stressors. My background includes experience in substance use treatment, where I supported individuals with complex and co-occurring concerns. I also have experience providing family and couples counseling focused on communication and conflict resolution. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and collaborative, recognizing you as the expert on your own life.
I earned my master’s degree in psychology with a concentration in clinical counseling from The Citadel. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-focused interventions, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and motivational interviewing.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking direction, clarity, or simply someone to walk alongside you during a difficult season, I am here to support your growth and healing. Together, we can work toward meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals, starting with taking the first step to schedule an appointment.

A go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is to use the Gottman Method.
Some tools that might be taught in couples/marriage counseling are communication skills, fair fighting rules, and ways to overcome common relationship conflicts.
A couple in marriage/couples counseling is believed to be making progress when they feel their relationship is in a stronger place.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with planned date nights/outings with just the two of them to strengthen their connection.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you and your partner can discuss what you both hope to get out of your sessions.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Every couple experiences relationship issues that threaten to destroy the relationship. These issues ranges from mild to more serious. The above issues would probably be categorized as more mild, while other issues—like major jealousy, trust issues, and disagreements on parenting—would probably be ranked by most couples as more serious. But mild or serious, all of the aforementioned can succeed in ripping a relationship apart. That is, unless the couple gives their relationship a fair shot in couples therapy.
If you and your partner are between a rock and a hard place, consider working with a couples therapist or counselor at Thriveworks North Charleston. These relationship experts can help you discuss and work through the issues in your relationship. Many people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to dating, such that the “right” relationship won’t be hard. But the harsh reality is that we often encounter challenges in our most important relationships. Fortunately, if you put in the right time and work, you and your partner can work through these challenges together. Reach out today for help.
As we just mentioned above, every couple out there encounters difficult times and challenges that test their relationship. Additionally, there are almost always improvements you can make in your relationship! In summary, virtually every couple out there can find value in working with a couples therapist or counselor. Just as you can benefit from working on your personal health and development on a regular basis, you can benefit from putting some work into the health of your relationship.
