Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.
I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
As a working parent and spouse, I can relate to how stressed and overwhelming dealing with daily life can be. I’ve spent over 15 years in the counseling field helping individuals, families, and couples navigate everything from daily stress to mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma related disorders. I’m practical and realistic in my approach and love to walk through life with the clients I meet.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
My goal as your clinician is to help each client set their therapeutic goals and reach them. I am a second set of eyes here to help you during this journey.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been working with clients since 2021. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity — the big, tender stuff that often doesn't have an easy answer but always deserves a real conversation.
I work with adolescents and adults but to be honest, my door is open to anyone having a human experience. Which, is all of us.
My approach draws from Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness — but what that looks like in practice is less textbook and more tailored to you. Some people need tools and strategies. Some people just need to feel genuinely heard for the first time in a long time. Most people need both, and we figure that out together.
I show up as a real person. I'm warm, honest, occasionally funny, and always in your corner. You won't find me blank-faced or judgmental. You will find someone who is genuinely invested in your story and rooting for you, every step of the way.
I know from personal experience how paralyzing it feels when life sends something you weren't prepared for. I specialize in working with young adults and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and big life changes. What I bring to every session is a direct, structured, and deeply human approach. I won't just listen—I'll actively help you build a new way of thinking.
For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest
moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you
invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something
worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South
Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a
blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where
you are and help you build toward where you want to be.
I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety and / or depression. We can't control what happens much of the time but can learn to navigate it.
I have a deep understanding and extensive clinical experience working with people who have been impacted by cancer or other life-altering medical diagnoses or situations. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space built on compassion and curiosity.

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.
