If you feel trapped in the relentless cycles of OCD, profound anxiety, or trauma, I help you understand these patterns with compassion and curiosity. My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), which views the human personality as a dynamic system of parts shaped by both life experience and temperament. From this perspective, anxiety, OCD, and other problematic emotions and behaviors are often seen as protective mechanisms working diligently to keep you safe from perceived danger. Obsessions, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, hypervigilance, and mental checking are all understood as attempts to remove and prevent harm.

Hey there! I am Jenn, a LPC providing tele-health services for clients residing in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. I am certified in EMDR and have extensive experience providing trauma therapy. I am also trained in DBT therapy. I began my career in 2011 and have worked in many mental health settings including inpatient facilities, long term care, crisis care, community mental health, group private practice and now running my own private practice. I use an eclectic approach to therapy meaning I often incorporate various therapeutic theories based on your strengths, goals, and needs. I am taking new clients and I hope to speak to you soon about starting your therapeutic journey soon!

I have a passion for coming alongside women with complex needs including trauma, domestic violence, PTSD, faith-based abuse, identity concerns, anxiety, and depression. I believe therapy is a journey, and my role is to walk beside you—offering support, insight, and empowerment as you find your way toward healing and wholeness.

I have been working as a professional counselor for seven years after earning my Master’s in Counseling from Liberty University and my Specialist in Professional Counseling from the University of West Georgia.

I believe the greatest relationship one could ever have is the one with themselves. Oftentimes, we tend to get lost in the expectations of our families, society, culture, relationships, religion, etc., and find ourselves unhappy with the person staring back at us. Regardless of which of these feels true, the journey to yourself can be scary, uncertain, and uncomfortable; however, not impossible. Together, with you in mind, I aim to serve as a guide to assist you with healing past hurts by helping you become more self-aware; accepting and trusting your feelings and experiences; alleviating your distress; and living an authentic life.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with experience providing services to children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes working with individuals experiencing trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, utilizing evidence-based and client-centered approaches to support emotional wellness, resilience, and personal growth. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of South Carolina and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University. I currently hold professional mental health counseling licenses in both South Carolina and North Carolina, allowing me to provide compassionate, culturally responsive, and effective mental health services to diverse populations.

As a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 5 years of experience, I am deeply committed to guiding individuals on their unique journeys toward personal growth and healing. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients—teens 18+ and adults 21+ to senior years (70+). I believe that every individual, regardless of their life stage, has the potential for meaningful change, and my service is open to clients across this age range. I am your person if you need support, understanding, growth, and coping strategies. I will help you overcome, empower you, and help you heal.

I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. My expertise includes DBT, CBT, Client Centered, and CPT & More. I am effective at helping clients identify and transform negative thought patterns to enhance emotional well-being and help clients with emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. I am experienced with supporting and empowering clients in discovering their intrinsic motivation to foster positive changes. I also specialize in Solution-Focused Therapy because sometimes it's not a long process to find a solution. We can concentrate on solutions and future goals, empowering clients to move forward rather than dwell on past issues.

Throughout my career, I have successfully assisted clients facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anger, stress, PTSD, anxiety, traumatic experiences, ADHD, abuse, low self-esteem, to name a few. I understand that seeking therapy is a significant step, and I want you to know that I am here to provide a compassionate, understanding, and supportive environment. Together, we will navigate your challenges, and I will stand by your side. Remember, you are not alone in this process—change is not only possible, but I am dedicated to helping you achieve it.

I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed therapist with over six years of experience in the field. Some of my areas of expertise and specializations include but are not limited to Anxiety, Depression, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem issues, addictions, personality disorders, and life decisions. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals/couples can explore their challenges, find solutions, and ultimately achieve greater well-being and personal growth.
