Clinician Overview:

     Much of my research and clinical training has been utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy. This results-based approach is designed to partner with the client, and as a coach, give them skills and tools so they learn coping strategies to improve. You can do this, and I will partner with you.
     Many clients come to counseling wanting aspects of their faith integrated into their mental health treatment. I am well suited having been formally trained in both psychology and theology. As a counselor, my goal is to support my client's faith as I treat them with effective clinical skills.
     As a clinician of 25 years, I seek to combine sharp clinical skills with a compassionate and caring approach to my client's unique needs.  I offer in-person or telehealth counseling sessions to those living in the state of South Carolina and telehealth for those living in  New Jersey.  I also offer faith-integrated counseling to those who request it.

Clinical Overview

 

My clinical training provided unique opportunities to build valuable helping skills and to work with a wide variety of populations and disorders. I have experience working at nearly all levels of clinical care, from private practice to intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential addiction rehabilitation, and inpatient care. I have worked with people with bipolar I and II, personality disorders, addiction, OCD, psychosis, anxiety, severe depression, social anxiety, PTSD, and many other concerns.

 

I believe in a creative and adaptive approach to therapy and view it as both art and science. In addition to my training, years of travel experiences have given me an appreciation for many different cultures and heightened my belief in the importance of culturally adaptive treatment. I have worked with patients from a wide variety of socioeconomic and racial backgrounds, of varying identities and spiritual beliefs. I always strive to work with clients’ religious and/or spiritual beliefs that are relevant to the counseling process.

 

I view counseling as a collaborate partnership in which I offer acceptance and compassionate insight to work with you to reach your therapeutic goals. Overcoming past and present pain and navigating major life transitions are challenging processes made easier through our partnership.
