3030 Ashley Town Center Drive, Charleston, SCI help clients process trauma & recover from substance disorders. I work with survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, childhood abuse, sexual abuse & those suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, SI, grief, co-dependence & ADD. EMDR is available for clients who find they can't “shake-off” the past, as it lives in the present. EMDR allows my clients to move through their trauma and put it where belongs, in the past. Trauma is not your fault but healing is your responsibility.

You deserve a therapist who knows the terrain. I’ve been where you are. I have experienced mental health from every angle—as someone who has done the deep personal work, as someone who has navigated the pain of losing loved ones to suicide, and now as a therapist. When I suggest a tool or a shift in perspective, it’s because I practice what I preach. I know the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and building a life you truly love, and I want that same transformation for you.
A perspective shaped by the world: Growing up with over 30 exchange students from around the globe taught me early on that everyone’s "normal" looks different. This curiosity follows me outside the office, too. This love for travel and culture keeps my mind open and my spirit curious—traits I bring into every session we share.

Frequently asked questions
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 Therapist in Charleston
Searching for therapists in Charleston starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist specialties match your needs. Charleston therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other forms of support.
In a smaller city like Charleston, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. When comparing Charleston counseling options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Charleston, SC can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make mental health care more affordable. Headway helps you search for a Charleston, SC therapist who matches your needs, takes your insurance, and offers upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
