Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


With more than 25 years of clinical counseling experience, I bring a compassionate, empowering approach to therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, wife, mother, grandmother, and Elder in my church, my perspective is shaped by a deep respect for the many seasons and challenges of life. I believe every person has strength, dignity, and the capacity to heal. My guiding phrase, “He Restoreth My Soul,” reflects my belief that healing involves the whole person—mind, will, and emotions—and can help restore identity, purpose, and resilience.

Whether you are a young person finding your path, a parent strengthening family connections, or an older adult adjusting to new seasons of life, I’m here to walk alongside you.
