About
Having lived experience with trauma, loss, and complex family relationships—including being a forever mother and part of a military family—I know what it’s like when life reshapes you and understand the courage it takes to rebuild and heal.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting adults facing dual diagnoses, substance use, trauma-related concerns, and complex life stressors. Much of my work centers on individuals impacted by childhood trauma, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and work-related trauma.
I earned my master’s degree in community mental health from Southern New Hampshire University. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, focusing on the present moment and what you need most right now. I integrate trauma-informed care, emphasizing safety, stability, empowerment, and practical coping strategies that support lasting change.
Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted, often struggling with sleep, daily functioning, and relationships. You do not have to navigate this alone. Together, we can move at a pace that feels safe and manageable while building stability, healthier coping skills, and meaningful progress. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

I help clients navigate life’s toughest transitions with clarity and resilience, drawing from my own journey of rebuilding after a life-changing accident and discovering the strength that grows through adversity.
I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 8 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. As an Air Force Veteran and former locomotive engineer who rebuilt after a life-changing occupational incident, I work with adults in high-stress, high-stakes careers — Veterans, first responders, transportation workers, and professionals navigating trauma, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, and seeking clarity, stability, and direction.
My approach is trauma-informed, direct, and practical. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, and motivational interviewing to help clients process what they've carried, build effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of control. Expect a calm, collaborative space and steady forward movement at your pace.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. When you're ready, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity, steadiness, and a plan that fits your life. Take the next step when the timing is right for you.

As a therapist who has participated in therapy myself, I know how important it is to find a provider you connect with and feel truly seen by. I specialize in seeing the person in the room as a fully unique human being and in working with them to untangle the challenges they’re facing so they can grow into their fullest potential.
As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.
I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients.
In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

Cannabis use disorder counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Charleston can help people manage their urges to use cannabis. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their cannabis use disorder, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as those that their disorder may stem from, like trauma.
Cannabis use disorder counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their disorder, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing cannabis use disorder counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Cannabis use disorder counseling at Thriveworks Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of cannabis use disorder counseling in Charleston depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their disorder, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in cannabis use disorder counseling in the first weeks to months.
Enough people are experiencing enough difficulty with cannabis that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) now acknowledges Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). If weed is inhibiting your everyday functioning and/or causing distress in your life, you are in good company. Many people need and seek out professional help for their cannabis use. The cannabis use disorder therapists at Thriveworks Charleston know what it takes to help people detox and equip them with the tools to live without cannabis. Reach out today for help.
DSM-5 acknowledges the addiction as Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), and it defines CUD as marijuana use for a minimum of one year while experiencing lowered daily functioning and increased agitation as displayed by two or more of these symptoms:
Therapy may help people navigate detox and its challenges. Especially if people have used cannabis to avoid or relieve emotional pain, a skilled therapist can help people process and resolve the emotions that flood them during detox. Therapy may also equip people to handle life’s challenges in a healthier way. Recovering from CUD has a lot of challenges, and there are no quick-fixes. But people who seek help and overcome their CUD are usually happier they did. Some of the potential benefits of recovery include…
Thriveworks Charleston has appointments available for treating Cannabis Use Disorder. Think about the symptoms for CUD. Did you recognize any of the behaviors in your own life? If so, it may be time to seek help.
