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.
