Connect with Substance Use therapists in Sumter, SC

I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings addressing mental health and substance use.

The majority of my clients include teens, adults, and couples. My specializations include anxiety, depression, human sexuality, LGBTQIA+ issues, and trauma. I have experience working with people who have survived sexual assault and intimate partner violence.

I seek to work with clients who are looking to grow and heal. I work best with people who are willing to look at their pain and grow. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit but we have to uncover some of our layers to become our true selves.

I am an LISW-CP and ACSW licensed in the state of South Carolina. Recognizing the need to share your vulnerability can be difficult and overwhelming, and not knowing how to move forward leaves us stuck and unable to creatively think of solutions. I assist clients in building solutions to cope, prosper, and enjoy what is present.

I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to come here. Seeking support is an active step toward caring for yourself, and that deserves recognition. I’m here to partner with you—not to tell you what to do, but to help you explore what you need and what will help you feel grounded and supported.
