A Well Built Well-Being

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but reaching out is a powerful first step toward feeling better. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, past trauma, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help. I'm really glad you're here. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience helping adults build resilience, strengthen their emotional well-being, and reconnect with the life they want to live. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process—tailored to you, your story, and your goals. You’re the expert on your life, and together we’ll work to uncover your strengths and create a path forward that feels right for you. My style is warm, affirming, and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you with empathy and respect, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it’s time to grow. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Processing Therapy—but most importantly, I focus on creating a safe, trusting relationship where real change can happen. Therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s for anyone ready to show up for themselves. Whether you're new to therapy or returning after a break, you are welcome here. I offer virtual therapy across South Carolina and Oregon, making it easier to fit support into your real life—wherever you are. I work on a self-pay basis and can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Certificate in Drug and Addiction Studies from the University of South Carolina, where I also earned my BA in Experimental Psychology. I’ve worked in a wide range of clinical settings including private practice, inpatient treatment, veteran services, and community mental health centers. Outside of work, I’m a mom of two spirited kids and a fan of nature, my dogs, friends, my community, football games, meaningful conversations, and the kind of laughter that shows up when you least expect it. I find joy in life’s messy, magical, everyday moments—and I bring that perspective into my work, too. If you’re curious about what therapy with me might be like, I offer a free consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit. I’d be honored to support you on your journey. When you're ready, I’m here.
