I enjoy working with children ages 3+ and their parents. Reach out to schedule a phone consultation with me and see if I would be a good fit for your needs!

I serve clients through North Main Counseling in lovely Greenville, South Carolina. If you live in the greater Greenville area and are interested in counseling services for your child, I would love to connect with you!

As a counselor with a background in school counseling, I have experience collaborating with teachers and am knowledgeable regarding educational services. I am willing to consult with your child’s teacher or school counselor as needed with your signed consent.

The 60-minute initial intake is $150. Each 50-minute child therapy session is $120. Parent consultations are included in the cost of therapy. For more information about my services, go to the Services page on my website.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to advance notice of fees. Please refer to the Good Faith Estimate statement for more information.

I accept cash, check, HSA cards, and most credit cards.

At this time, I am out-of-network for insurance providers; however, I do provide a superbill that you can file directly with your insurance company for reimbursement.

In play therapy, children move predictably through four phases, and on average, make gains within 20-35 sessions. Therapy progress is individual, however, and much depends on the factors affecting your child and the severity of the presenting issue.

Yes, I can help! And no, they will probably not be using words to tell me all about their problems—and that’s ok! A child’s prefrontal cortex is not developed enough to fully engage with or benefit from traditional talk therapy. The brilliance of play therapy, however, is that no words are necessary. Everything the child feels and believes comes forward through play. All play is communication, and toys are the child’s words.

In session, I support your child’s emotional processing through specific, developmentally appropriate therapeutic skills.

Unless your child discloses abuse or risk of harm to self or others, I hold in confidentiality what your child shares in session. The purpose of confidentiality is to preserve trust in the therapeutic alliance.

While I will never share specific details from sessions with you in parent consultation, I will discuss overall themes and progress in therapy.

I hold your trust and your child’s trust in the highest regard, and I will always act in the best interests of your child.

It’s very normal to wonder if therapy is working. In play therapy, progress often begins with subtle internal changes—such as increased emotional awareness, regulation, or confidence—before noticeable changes show up at home or school.

As always, I will partner with you and communicate regarding any progress I observe.

If you feel that this therapeutic approach is not a good fit for your child, I respect your decision. I am happy to assist with referrals or resources to help you identify a provider or approach that feels like the best fit for your family.

An LPCA is a licensed professional counseling associate. Becoming an LPC (licensed professional counselor) in South Carolina requires a minimum of two years’ counseling experience under supervision. I meet regularly with a counselor supervisor to ensure that I am providing high-quality care to clients.
