Being anxious about which direction you should take can be complicated and secluding. Difficulties in life can lead to feelings of uncertainty about your abilities and a loss of connection to who you are. Therapy can be an excellent tool to navigate these feelings in a safe and supportive environment. I believe the client holds the knowledge within of the best path forward and I feel honored to work in collaboration with clients to reconnect with themselves or find ways to let their true identity shine. Whether you're looking for new skills, need to process experiences, or need an ally in your journey, I am here for you in support.
I am licensed in South Carolina with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
As someone who has struggled at times with my own issues of trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity, I can relate to client experiences and strive to create a collaborative, safe environment for growth.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have as a client.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
