Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Columbia, SC


Therapy is meant to be a place where anyone can feel safe and understood. With all of the major stressors that kids are facing in this current age, it can be a game-changer for a child to have a place where they feel accepted and supported. I became a therapist not to pathologize or diagnose children, but to become another safe adult in their support system who guides them to their goals and cheers them on from the sidelines. I specialize in helping children and teens ages 3–17 navigate through emotional challenges, stressful life transitions, and difficult developmental experiences through play therapy and a warm, supportive environment.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Welcome!

As a clinical social worker, I know mental health care is a critical part of building a fulfilling life. It can feel really vulnerable taking the first step towards this work but I firmly believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Throughout my career I have worked with people navigating challenging stressors from a traumatic event to adjusting to a new job. I continue to focus on adults working through these experiences and difficulties managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
