an inclusive therapy practice where all of who you are is welcome and worthy

Most of us live with an internal narrative we’ve come to believe about ourselves, and often it’s critical and unloving. Therapy can help you uncover the story that’s keeping you from living your most authentic life and give you the tools you need to live with courage and confidence.

I help people who are…

  • anxious

  • overwhelmed

  • grieving

  • caught in negative patterns of thinking or behaving

  • struggling with feelings of shame and self-doubt

  • exhausted of their inner critic

  • eager to be a priority in their own lives

If you’re ready to edit your script, call or text today.
I’m accepting new clients and would be honored to support your process.

Whether facing grief after a loss, unmanaged anxiety, or feelings of not being enough, I believe we each have within us everything we need to live healthy, wholehearted lives. And, I love supporting clients as you discover your inner wisdom and practice newly acquired skills.

I’m fortunate to have worked in a variety of fields, and my experiences as a board certified coach and hospital chaplain inform and enhance my counseling.

As a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, I apply Brené Brown’s research around courage building, uncovering the power of vulnerability, and shame resilience to my work with clients. 

My approach to counseling is open, honest, and supportive. My number one goal is to provide safe space where you can explore, ask hard questions, and face your challenges with courage and confidence. 
And while you’re doing the work, I give you the tools you need to feel grounded and secure.
 
Please note: My office is currently located at Psychotherapy Charleston, the downtown practice of Emily F. Johnson and Associates. 

Beginning January 1, 2025 my office will be located at 4151 Spruill Ave, Ste 160.
