Psychiatric services (medication management) in Charleston, SC

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals move toward healthier emotional patterns, stronger self-awareness, and more meaningful well-being. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in helping clients manage persistent anxiety and challenging emotional symptoms.

I earned my master’s degree in human services counseling from Liberty University. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic principles to support both practical skill building and deeper insight. This balanced foundation helps clients understand the roots of their challenges while learning tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

I know reaching out can feel overwhelming, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this process. I aim to create a safe, grounded space where you feel heard and supported as we work through your concerns together. I look forward to meeting you, listening to what you need, and helping you take meaningful steps toward relief and lasting change.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and moments of uncertainty. I create a warm, safe, and validating space where clients feel grounded, understood, and empowered. I draw from my experience working in private practice and community settings to help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and issues related to identity, self-worth, and family dynamics.

I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from South University. I utilize approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to support meaningful change. I tailor my approach to each person’s needs and goals.

I believe every person holds the capacity to heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of clarity and purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and encouragement as you navigate both challenges and breakthroughs. You deserve support that honors your strengths, your story, and your journey. I would be honored to work with you.
