Individual Counseling & Therapy

You’re only human – and there’s nothing wrong with that.

You probably think that – you should be able to solve your own problems, right?

But Hear Me Out:

Individual therapy & counseling support isn't just for people who have run out of options or gone into meltdown mode. It's also for people who:

So let me ask you this:

When our emotional well-being determines the success of our careers, the strength of our self-worth, and the health of our relationships…

Why do we still treat therapy like a last resort?

Having (a non-judgy) someone on the outside can give you valuable insight. And that can help you strategize better ways to cope, reshape your emotional responses, and put into practice new habits that make you feel in control of your life again.

A stronger sense of self means you:

Bounce back faster from failures, rejections and disappointments – and use them as a launchpad for growth

Go from victim to hero(ine) by realizing your secret powers

Find comfort in self-acceptance, instead of acting defensive or fearful when faced with criticism

Know how to manage your own emotions instead of depending on others to make you feel better

Say “no” to protect your boundaries and stand by your values

Find happiness, pleasure and fulfillment – independent of your relationship status

Are kinder to others, even when they screw up

Are kinder to yourself, even when you screw up

Stop waiting for someone to give you the answers to your problems and find them yourself

My story

If there’s one thing I believe more than anything else, it’s that the relationships we have with others are a direct reflection of the one we have with ourselves.

Like so many of my clients, I haven’t always prioritized my emotional well-being.

I’ve had my share of fatherless milestones. Been my own worst enemy. And wasted time looking outside myself for happiness and for approval from others.

But I finally learned that if you don’t love yourself unconditionally, it’s impossible to have healthy relationships, make productive use of your emotions, or ever feel a sense of wholeness and belonging.

And now, I want to help you realize it for yourself.

When we work together, there’s no “some things are better left unsaid”. You don’t have to sugarcoat or sidestep how you feel to protect someone else’s emotions. You can let your heart hang out, and know your secrets are safe with me.

How Therapy Works:

INTAKE FORM & QUESTIONNAIRE

60-min In-Office or Virtual Video session

Here's what I know:

You don’t have to face it alone.

When you’re navigating a difficult transition, facing a relationship challenge, or healing and processing a past trauma, getting professional counseling & therapy support can help you get unstuck and make simple changes that have a big impact on your well-being.

While it can be awkward and embarrassing to confess what you’re feeling to family and friends (and let’s be honest, it might invite bad advice or trigger argument). As a licensed clinical social worker, I’m here to listen without judgment and offer honest insights. This is a safe space to vent and work through what’s going on in your life without worrying about what anyone else thinks or feeling like you’ve got to protect someone else’s emotions.

With individual therapy sessions, you get the 1:1 support, flexible structure, and cognitive behavioral strategies you need to start feeling better – all from the comfort of your own home!

Note: These individual therapy sessions are for one person. If you’d like couples counseling & therapy, you can learn more about that support option here!

Frequently asked questions

I do not accept insurance. However, you can pay for your sessions using your Health Spending Account. Please note that I also offer payment plans!

All major credit and debit cards are accepted. Health Savings Accounts are also accepted as a form of payment.

Great question! Create a list of the current challenges you’re facing and the goals you’d like to achieve during our time together.

I provide virtual coaching, tele-mental health services, and individual and couples counselling. I mostly work with women, but my clients include all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexual orientations.

Hey, life happens! All I ask is that you call me 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment so that I can accommodate others on my waitlist. I’ll do my best to reschedule you for another appointment time that’s more convenient.

Absolutely! Love is love, and I fully support all relationships. I recognize that same-sex couples may face unique challenges, such as societal pressures and a lack of social support, which can complicate your partnership. I’m here to help you navigate these issues and build resilience together! Just note: Individual therapy sessions are for one person. If you’d like couples counseling & therapy, you can learn more about that support option here!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Couples Therapist in Greenville, SC, I want to clarify that during our virtual coaching sessions, I am not acting as a therapist or counselor due to state laws. This also means I cannot accept insurance for these sessions.

While traditional therapy focuses on long-term healing and introspection, virtual coaching is a more immediate approach. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, address self-destructive thoughts, develop practical strategies, and navigate any obstacles in your path. Let’s work together to create actionable plans that move you forward.

I get it: spilling your relationship tea all to a stranger might seem…well, strange. But don’t worry, you can let your heart hang out and rest assured your information and our private conversations stay between us.

We are HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) compliant. If you want to know how we keep your medical data private and secure, feel free to ask me for more details.
