About My Clients

Hi and welcome to my profile. I love my career as a therapist because I get to know such amazing people and witness their growth and healing. My own life experiences have led me to focus on helping clients adjust to new parenthood and helping couples revive connection. I provide a therapeutic space where you can feel supported, cared for, and accepted for who you are. All are welcome.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with South Carolina and Georgia. I earned a Master of Family Therapy degree from Mercer University. I'm certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International, and have training in Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I practice from the belief that people are inherently good and oriented towards growth, health, and healing in the core of their being. I help clients access this core by encouraging authentic interactions, self-awareness, self-acceptance, and by building a strong therapeutic alliance.
