Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Therapists in North Charleston, SC

Recovering from PTSD and trauma can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories of abuse begin to surface. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened and discover that healing is possible. We can also work together to build healthier coping skills that support recovery and help reduce reliance on addictive behaviors. You do not have to face this alone—take the first step toward healing today.

Have you ever thought, "I know why I do this... so why do I keep doing it?" Many of my clients have been to therapy before, gained valuable insight, and learned coping skills, yet still find themselves repeating the same emotional and relationship patterns. If you're ready to move beyond understanding yourself intellectually and get to the root of what's keeping you stuck, I'd love to help.

North Charleston is South Carolina's third-largest city and home to Joint Base Charleston—a major combined naval and air force installation—as well as a significant Boeing manufacturing facility and the Port of Charleston's main terminal operations, creating a community defined by military service, industrial employment, and logistics. The city has a large and historically rooted African-American community, and the intersection of military culture, Black community identity, and the legacy of a city situated near the site of both the start of the Civil War and the 2015 Emanuel AME Church shooting creates a psychologically complex community context. Trident Health's behavioral health programs and the Veterans Affairs system serve the military and veteran population alongside private practitioners. Common therapy concerns include military and veteran mental health, racial trauma and community grief, employment and economic stress, and the particular identity dynamics of a majority-minority city adjacent to the tourism-focused historic Charleston.
