About
As a single parent of a special-needs teenage daughter, I offer both lived and professional experience supporting families through complex challenges. This perspective strengthens my ability to build rapport, advocate effectively, and provide compassionate, practical support to children, adolescents, and their caregivers.

I specialize in helping children, adolescents, families, and women navigate life’s challenges in a supportive, practical, and compassionate way. With nearly 30 years of experience in mental health, I provide evidence-based, personalized therapy to support clients through any life challenge.

As a woman of color, I understand the stigma and generational pressure to keep mental health struggles private, and my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal openly and at your own pace.
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.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is to start out by teaching coping skills. I prefer starting with this as I feel it helps the client regulate their emotions better before diving into more specific concerns.
I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they are able to better manage life stressors thrown at them.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy by practicing/reviewing their skills before they are too escalated and reflecting on things that they find triggering.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can take a deep breath and come into the session with an open mind ready to learn and try some new skills!
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in North Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
