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.
I have a passion for working with people and providing space and time for healing. Often the most hopeless situations are where the beauty will appear. That does not mean everything will be perfect, but it does mean you can learn to function well and enjoy your life.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with an additional Masters in Humanistic, Transpersonal Psychology. I enjoy working with adults and couples who are seeking deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and lasting emotional change. I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, communication, stress, life transitions, and personal growth. My style is warm, engaging, and insight oriented while offering practical tools that you can use immediately. I strive to create a space that feels safe, authentic, collaborative, and free of judgment. Clients often appreciate my balance of depth, compassion, creativity, knowledge, humor, and real-world perspectives.
Life can be overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. Taking the first step can be difficult, so I'm glad you're here.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Summerville
Searching for therapists in Summerville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs. Some therapists focus on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may highlight experience with couples therapy, marriage counseling in Summerville, Christian counseling, or support for specific life stages.
In a smaller city like Summerville, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. If in-person care matters to you, consider office location, commute time, and appointment times that fit your week. It also helps to confirm whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and provides the type of session structure you prefer. Reading therapist profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, communication approach, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Summerville can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists, counselors, and psychologists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and may accept your insurance. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare profiles, review specialties, choose virtual or in-person care, 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.
