(she/her)
Hello, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is patient, attentive, and empathic to my clients. I have over 10 years of experience working within the senior and adult mental health community. I foster a therapeutic environment where adults, seniors, and caregivers feel understood, valued, and supported in their unique life circumstances. I have a Master's of Social Work from the University of South Carolina.
In our first session, I invite you to discuss the reasons you sought therapy, the presenting problems, and any specific goals or expectations you may have. I like to learn more about your background, including personal history, family dynamics, current living situation, work or school environment, and any previous experiences with therapy or mental health treatment. This helps me understand your needs and how I can help you in treatment.
By prioritizing each patient’s inherent strengths and inner wisdom (Strength-Based, Client-Centered), I support individuals in recognizing their capacity for growth. Through practical coping strategies grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused approaches such as EFT and Grief Therapy, I help clients process deep and complex emotions with compassion and clarity. As a Christian-based therapist, I honor the spiritual dimension of healing and welcome faith as a source of comfort, direction, and renewal. Integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide clients in embracing difficult emotions while remaining anchored in their values, purpose, and spiritual identity. This comprehensive integration ensures that therapy is not just about alleviating distress, but about cultivating a rich, full, and values-driven life.
I specialize in helping women and older adults navigate issues related to anxiety, depression, grief and other mental health concerns commonly experienced in life. I foster a therapeutic environment where women and seniors can feel understood, valued, and supported in their unique life circumstances.
