I am a licensed independent social worker in South Carolina. I have previously been licensed in Missouri and North Carolina. I earned my MSW at Washington University is St. Louis. I have over 20 years experience working in a variety of settings.
I mostly use cognitive behavioral therapy, in conjunction with other therapies as needed. I am warm and compassionate, and easy to talk to. I am also a good listener.
I believe in the worth and dignity of every person, and that we all need a helping hand once in a while. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
