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.

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.

Life is full of wonderful moments and overwhelming challenges. As a licensed clinical social worker, I strive to provide support through all of life’s moments. You may be having overwhelming thoughts that feel out of control or feel frozen in social situations. Maybe you’re waking up in the morning already exhausted from everything you're carrying. Perhaps you’re feeling disconnected from the people around you. Or maybe you’ve been through unbelievably challenging experiences that you’re ready to start healing from. Whatever it may be, I’m dedicated to providing an open, safe environment to help you create lasting positive change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. I began my career as a substance use counselor, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding how life stressors, trauma, and mental health challenges are often interconnected. This experience led me to expand my training to better support individuals with a wide range of concerns.
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, anger management, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients navigating grief, family challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and play-based interventions to meet clients where they are developmentally and emotionally.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Columbia
Searching for therapists in Columbia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Columbia therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to work on. Some therapists may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles.
Columbia offers a balanced mix of local therapy options, with therapists serving areas near Downtown, Shandon, Forest Acres, Five Points, and nearby communities. You may prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, or a virtual appointment that fits more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what sessions may look like, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.
Therapy in Columbia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, confirm your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
