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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Charleston
Searching for therapists in North Charleston starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look at the concerns they list, the populations they work with, and the therapy approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style before you book.
In a smaller city like North Charleston, local office options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. Some people prefer meeting in person near Park Circle, Northwoods, Noisette, or the greater Charleston area, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.
Therapy in North Charleston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and view your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in North Charleston, review their profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
