Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, or life's unexpected
challenges begin to affect your peace of mind. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted,
constantly overthinking, or simply trying to make it through each day, you don't have to face those
struggles alone.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I believe therapy should be a place where you feel
genuinely heard, understood, and accepted—without judgment. My goal is to create a safe,
supportive environment where you can be yourself, process difficult experiences, and discover
practical tools that help you move forward with confidence.
I work with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD,
ADHD, grief and loss, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Every
client is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than
taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24+ years of therapeutic experience. My experience started in Mental Health Clinics, but I have been working in private practice for over 15 years. I help people with a variety of concerns to include stress, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Myrtle Beach
Searching for therapists in Myrtle Beach starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter to you. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific populations can help you decide who may be a strong match.
Myrtle Beach has therapy options across the city and nearby areas like Socastee and Briarcliffe, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or prefer to meet with a South Carolina-licensed therapist from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Myrtle Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Myrtle Beach, review bios, and book directly when you’re 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.
