About
I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I bring my lived experience, cross-cultural perspective, and holistic, strengths-based approach to create a safe space where you can explore your story, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with hope.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) serving clients in North Carolina and South Carolina. Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades in education as a K-12 Art and Special Education Teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, and homeschooling students with learning, behavioral, and emotional disabilities. I am trauma-informed and trained in EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered, and CBT, and am working toward RPT certification. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationships, attachment, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, helping them move toward resilience, authenticity, and hope.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, recognizing that healing involves mind, body, emotions, and relationships. I draw from EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and play-based approaches tailored to each client's needs, pace, and goals. Together, we build emotional awareness, coping skills, resilience, and hope.
You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are. We can take the next steps together, at a pace that feels right for you. I invite you to schedule an appointment; I would be honored to walk alongside you toward healing, resilience, and hope.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Charleston, SC provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Charleston is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
