in Sociology/Health from the College of Charleston, a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Webster University, and a specialty Master’s Degree in Gerontology (Elderly Aging). I have experience helping with General Life Issues, Transitions, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorders as well. I am also a LGBTQIA and Alternative Lifestyle friendly therapist. I enjoy working with teenagers, women and young adults, but also work with couples. I also work with clients struggling with grief/loss, stress from daily life, or finding the motivation to accomplish necessary next steps. My focus is to help clients begin the process of moving forward and making positive changes towards a brighter future. I have many years of experience as a school-based mental health counselor and clinical therapist and have helped countless students and families build a tool-set to healthily manage their emotions, increase their self-esteem, and learn coping skills that will help them for the rest of their life. I enjoy integrating my knowledge of education and mental health issues to help families solve problems and overcome personal issues and work towards positive professional, home and school experiences. I am dedicated to helping others improve their lives through education, insight, and change and am humbled to be a part of her clients’ journey towards reaching their goals through counseling.
As your therapist, my focus is to meet you where you are as my client and to help provide tools to help you meet your goals. I am trained to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy(ACT), Motivational Interviewing and other techniques. I am also trained in the Prepare/Enrich program focused on strengthening relationships.
