Everyone has a story and sometimes parts of that story can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. I became a therapist because I believe every person’s story deserves to be heard, understood, and worked through with others. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma, or major life transitions, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with both adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, or life's unexpected

challenges begin to affect your peace of mind. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted,

constantly overthinking, or simply trying to make it through each day, you don't have to face those

struggles alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I believe therapy should be a place where you feel

genuinely heard, understood, and accepted—without judgment. My goal is to create a safe,

supportive environment where you can be yourself, process difficult experiences, and discover

practical tools that help you move forward with confidence.

I work with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD,

ADHD, grief and loss, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Every

client is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than

taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Aiken, SC

Searching for therapists in Aiken starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches that need. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. If you are exploring couples counseling in Aiken, SC, or marriage counseling in Aiken, SC, look for therapists who list relationship work, family systems, or couples-specific training in their profiles. You can also review therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy to see what aligns with your goals.

Aiken is a smaller market, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and therapist specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across South Carolina while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Aiken can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first session. You can browse therapists in Aiken, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
