Connect with Stress therapists in Columbia, SC

I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

For the past 23 years, I’ve been helping kids, teens, and families work through life’s ups and downs. I like to call myself “the cool therapist”—and so far, all of my clients would agree. Why? Because I keep therapy real, relatable, and yes—even fun.

Everyone has a unique story to tell. Some chapters are full of joy, while others contain pain, challenges, or transitions. I believe healing begins when we feel heard. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to share your story and reclaim the pen to write the next chapter.

Being overwhelmed and stuck can make life feel impossible. You are far from alone. The majority of people struggle; we just don't get many opportunities to genuinely talk about our issues.

Life can throw overwhelming challenges your way, leaving you feeling stuck or drained. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate these difficult times with evidence-based, empathetic, and personalized care.

I believe that we all go through things in our lives, but how we deal with those things will make the difference in how we live our lives. My hope is to work collaboratively to improve quality of life.

I provide counseling in private practice and coordinate community outreach serving at-risk youths, families, individuals, couples, elderly, poor, imprisoned, homeless, disabled and indigent. I help people stop living in the past and reclaim their joy.
