I am a licensed clinical psychologist in South Carolina, with 40+ years of professional work experience. I was an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Chicago, prior to opening my clinical practice in SC. I have helped many clients learn skills for managing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and coping with loss. I also have experience working with depression and several therapy modalities.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
