I 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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 7.5 mi away • North Charleston, SC


Hello! I would love to get you scheduled. Please call our office at 843-212-6979 for an appointment.

I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.

I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.

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.

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.
