Hi, I'm Carolyn. I've been working in the counseling field since the 90s — and after all this time, the one thing that hasn't changed is how I show up: I come to listen, not to lead. I work with adults, teens, seniors, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, anger, and everything in between. I practice via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in South Carolina, we can work together without you having to drive anywhere or rearrange your whole schedule. I believe you already have what it takes — my job is to help you access it.
PMHNP with 7 years of experience and +16 years. of experience in the mental health field.
I served 30 years in the United States Army — including combat deployments — before becoming a licensed therapist. That wasn't a career pivot. It was a calling. I know what it feels like to carry things you can't explain to people who weren't there. I also know that those same people are often the ones you love most.I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider, serving individuals, couples, and groups across South Carolina — in person in Saint Matthews and online statewide. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety, with a particular focus on veterans, military families, and adults navigating the long aftermath of difficult childhoods.I'm trained in Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) — a pattern where emotional needs go unmet in childhood and quietly shape everything from relationships to self-worth to how you handle stress decades later. Many of my clients didn't grow up in crisis homes, but still find themselves struggling to connect, feel, or be fully present. That's often CEN. And it's treatable.I accept most major insurance plan. Sliding scale fees are available, and I facilitate tele-health sessions for insured clients across South Carolina.

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
I'm a South Carolina-based therapist who has spent my career working in university counseling and community mental health. I've sat with people across a wide range of life circumstances: college students navigating pressure and identity, adults working through trauma, family stress, or grief, teens figuring out who they are and how to be. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I bring the same direct, grounded energy to every session. Therapy with me isn't slow or vague. You'll leave with a clearer head and actual tools to use.
