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.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Charleston therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
