Why did I become a therapist?
“A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”
I love the above quote from my father, because I understand how frustrating it can be to desire change but feel unsure about your ability to create that change. Scheduling a therapy session can be intimidating, but my goal is for you to feel relaxed and empowered knowing you are able to make positive changes in life.
I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Master of Social Work. My intention was to provide services to others given my desire to help peolpe realize their capacity for growth and change. With my license now, I have been clinically trained to provide therapy services for a range of concerns. I have been practicing for over four years to assist individuals with various mental health needs. My work includes providing telehealth therapy sessions (see previous section for more information) and advocating to reduce stigma surrounding mental health diagnoses!
Therapy ought to be something you look forward to, not a chore, so my goal is to provide a warm and affirming atmosphere in sessions. What I offer is the space to explore obstacles to change and empower you while focusing on you as a whole person- not just a diagnosis!
Feeling relaxed and confident in the change process is an important goal I strive to help you meet!
I aim to promote wellness by validating your whole experience, not JUST by focusing on a diagnosis!
I’d love to hear from you!
