Accepting New Clients

I grew up as a military kid, became a soldier, and later a military spouse. That journey — spanning more than two decades inside military life — is at the heart of how I show up as a therapist. I understand firsthand the unique pressures that come with service: constant transitions, the weight of sacrifice, complicated grief, and the challenge of figuring out who you are when the uniform comes off.
I specialize in working with veterans, active duty families, athletes, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. My approach is client-centered — I meet you where you are, build around your goals and strengths, and move at your pace. Depending on what you need, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused approaches, and play therapy to support clients across the lifespan, from young children to adults.
I have experience working in individual, family, and group therapy settings, and I bring both clinical training and genuine relatability to every session. I currently see clients at Trusted Results Therapy Group in Columbia and via telehealth throughout South Carolina, and I am accepting new clients.
