Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Mt Pleasant, SC

I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 8 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. As an Air Force Veteran and former locomotive engineer who rebuilt after a life-changing occupational incident, I work with adults in high-stress, high-stakes careers — Veterans, first responders, transportation workers, and professionals navigating trauma, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, and seeking clarity, stability, and direction.

My approach is trauma-informed, direct, and practical. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, and motivational interviewing to help clients process what they've carried, build effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of control. Expect a calm, collaborative space and steady forward movement at your pace.

Reaching out is often the hardest part. Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. When you're ready, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity, steadiness, and a plan that fits your life. Take the next step when the timing is right for you.

As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.

I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients. 

In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 3 years of experience providing evidence-based, person-centered care. I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I partner with clients to thoughtfully integrate medication management with education and collaborative support to promote emotional stability and meaningful progress.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Clemson University. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment planning, and medication education with a focus on safety, transparency, and shared decision-making.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you feel more balanced, confident, and supported as you move forward.
