My Story

Over the past 25 years I have worked as a licensed social worker and addiction counselor in  Columbia and Lexington areas of South Carolina specializing in working with adolescents and adults who experience depression, anxiety, substance use and trauma. As I have grown as a clinician, my paradigm  shifted from what is wrong to what has happened to an individual to make them suspectible to specific challenges. I continue to be an active learner seeking to further my skill set to provide clients with the best therapy for the best results.

I am a trained EMDR therapist, Advanced BLAST Practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist and HeartHealing™️ Practitioner.  I have an array of strategies that will help you address your needs. Let's talk and see how you and I can take a healing journey that helps you become the best version of yourself. You are worth it!
