About
I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I bring my lived experience, cross-cultural perspective, and holistic, strengths-based approach to create a safe space where you can explore your story, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with hope.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) serving clients in North Carolina and South Carolina. Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades in education as a K-12 Art and Special Education Teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, and homeschooling students with learning, behavioral, and emotional disabilities. I am trauma-informed and trained in EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered, and CBT, and am working toward RPT certification. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationships, attachment, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, helping them move toward resilience, authenticity, and hope.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, recognizing that healing involves mind, body, emotions, and relationships. I draw from EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and play-based approaches tailored to each client's needs, pace, and goals. Together, we build emotional awareness, coping skills, resilience, and hope.
You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are. We can take the next steps together, at a pace that feels right for you. I invite you to schedule an appointment; I would be honored to walk alongside you toward healing, resilience, and hope.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Charleston therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
Do you feel like you are not living the life you could be because of self-doubt, negative thoughts, or insecurities? Is there a career you want to pursue, but you don’t feel good enough or a fear of failure is holding you back? Do you wish you could see your strengths, feel your self-worth, and fully believe in yourself?
The life coaches at Thriveworks Charleston have years of experience working with people on the concerns that hold them back from growing in their personal and professional lives. These skilled, caring professionals have helped many people just like you reach their fullest potential and achieve their wildest dreams. If this sounds like something you want in on, reach out to Thriveworks Charleston at (843) 480-4034.
Many people are not able to find the answers or solutions they’re looking for. The life coaches at Thriveworks Charleston work with their clients to identify how they can get closer to their goals, whether it is a career change, steps to take in an unhappy relationship, or how to go on after a loved one passes away. Life coaches work with clients to move them from a feeling of inertia or insecurity about making changes to seeing a clearer picture of what they want and how to go about making changes.
There are many areas to explore, such as friends and family, romance and intimacy, career, personal growth, and more. In life coaching, people are asked to measure how satisfied or dissatisfied they are in each area from a negative 10 to a positive 10, with zero as the neutral answer. This task helps them to identify the areas they want to work on.
A life coach can work with you and prove beneficial if you are experiencing any of the following situations.
Thriveworks life coaches have credentials and professional licenses. Call Thriveworks Charleston at (843) 480-4034 today to schedule a session with a life coach or find out more about life coaching and how it can help you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life. New clients can see an exceptional life coach or therapist as early as this week. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances.
