I have been in practice for over 20 years and have dedicated my life to helping others. I received my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of South Florida, and became a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice in 2006. My extensive experience in behavioral health and medical social work allows me to assist adults through life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. 

I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, with a strong emphasis on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing, along with other techniques, and believe in a compassion-focused approach that builds on individuals’ strengths and intrinsic motivation to lead their best life.

In my free time, you can catch me taking care of the animals on my farm, adventuring throughout the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina, and volunteering with the Red Cross.
