My clients often express feeling disconnected from themselves and in their relationships. They have thoughts like, "no one will understand" or "what if's" followed by fears of being judged, seen as a burden, or receiving unwanted advice. You're unsure of who to trust, but recognize holding onto these experiences, feelings, and thoughts alone is only becoming more painful, isolating, and heavier. If any of this sounds familiar, you've come to the right place and you're not alone.

My commitment as a clinician is to create a non-judgmental, respectful environment where clients feel welcome and safe to embrace their authentic self and bravely share their stories. Like any other relationship, trust is important and takes time. Therefore, I strive to meet my clients where they are presently, joining them at their own pace in their journey to self-improvement and personal growth.

I view my work humanistically, through a compassionate and integrative lens, appreciating my clients' individuality, and believing that each person is the expert in their own life. Oftentimes, clients already have the answers within, and through our collaboration, I can help you in discovering what has been there all along. I hope, in working together, you will gain the insight and tools needed to address life's obstacles and reclaim your well-being.

I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science in Experimental Psychology and an Education Specialist (Ed.S) degree in Counselor Education, specializing in Clinical Mental Health. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate practicing under Casey Fox, LMFT, LPC-SC.
