About Me
Hello! I am the founder & owner of Inner Flow Counseling & Art Therapy, LLC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina, and a Board Certified & Registered Art Therapist. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions to adults and young adults (18+).
I have been practicing EMDR since 2022 and enjoy helping people navigate a variety of life stressors, grief, and trauma, through evidenced-based treatment, as well as a little creativity and creative thinking!
I started my own practice in order to focus on my specialty areas of attachment trauma, chronic illness/pain, infertility, peri/menopause, grief & loss.
EMDR and IFS are my primary modes of therapy, and I also incorporate ACT, CBT, guided imagery, somatic exercises, and breath work! Art therapy is an option in treatment that can bring another layer of exploration and intuition to your sessions if you are interested.
Thank you for considering me for your counseling needs! Please reach out with any questions about my services.
Education & Experience
I earned a M.A. in Art Therapy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015, completing clinical internships in adolescent residential treatment, and adult in-patient psychiatric and memory care settings. Professionally, I have worked therapeutically with adults and children in community mental health and group private practice.
In addition, I have co-facilitated community art therapy groups and events alongside local therapists to support healing after the Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston, SC.
In 2019, I co-authored a chapter along with two other art therapists for the book: Art Therapy in Response to Natural Disasters, Mass Violence, and Crises.
