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.

My go-to approach for treating depression is utilizing a mix of CBT and values-based therapy. I feel this approach is beneficial in helping those with depression because it helps individuals evaluate their goals and current thought processes to determine where they need to make changes in order to live a more fulfilled life.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: cognitive reframing/restructuring, how to identify the signs and symptoms of depression, and how to create your own inventory of hobbies/activities that bring you joy.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they report an improvement in mood and overall seem more excited and hopeful about things.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by doing activities they love and enjoy, maybe even picking up an old hobby they used to love!
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can think about when you first noticed depression becoming an issue for you, reflect on whether or not you've noticed any triggers that cause these episodes, and tell yourself that you are not alone in your journey.
