Finding Land in the Sea of Life's Challenges

Psychotherapy Services

Autism Services

I firmly believe the phrase "if you've met one person with Autism, you've met one person with Autism". I have spent years working neurodivergent individuals and their families from preschool through adulthood and I am well attuned to their unique strengths and needs. I offer individual therapy services to individuals on the spectrum who are experiencing co-occurring disorders or difficulties such as depression, anxiety, emotion regulation difficulties, and social skill deficits. Additionally, I offer parent training services for parents of children with ASD seeking help in learning how to best manage unhelpful behaviors while still supporting their growth as well as individual therapy for parents who are adjusting to a new diagnosis or other challenges associated with navigating life with neurodiversity.

Behavioral Problems

I firmly believe that all behavior serves a purpose. Yes, even tantrums, meltdowns, defiance, and rebellion. However, these behaviors can cause significant distress in the life of a child and their family. Allow me to help you de-code the messages behind these behaviors and support positive behavior changes in your home.

Depression & Anxiety

While depression and anxiety are some of the most common mental health diagnoses, experiencing them can feel incredibly isolating. There is no shame in seeking support to manage these issues. Psychotherapy has proven effective in managing and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I would be honored to help you through this journey.

Trauma & Adjustment

Sometimes life is incredibly unfair. Things happen outside of your control that seem to derail life as you know it. Many people experience traumatic events or life stressors that cause lingering emotional, physical, and behavioral difficulties. I promise to provide a safe therapeutic environment to untangle the webs of trauma and learn strategies to effectively cope with trauma symptoms.

Online Services

Research has shown that telehealth is an effective way to conduct psychotherapy services. Now more than ever it is important that we stay home whenever possible. I am happy to be able to offer telehealth sessions to individuals located in the state of South Carolina.
