About Me: I have been in private practice in the Charleston area since 1991 and my office is currently in Summerville. I specialize in working with folks who engage in Self-Injurious Behaviors, issues involving Trauma/Loss, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), an LPC Supervisor, a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC), LAC Supervisor, a National Certified Counselor, a Master Addictions Counselor, and a Certified Clinical [Addictions] Supervisor (CS). I have also been trained as an Advanced Family Mediation Practitioner. I am also trained in EMDR and Critical Incident Stress Management, and I taught a Clinical Supervision course at Webster University for six years and currently teach the same course for the SC Clinical Mental Health Counselors Assn. I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling from The Citadel. In August, 2007, I co-authored a book with Susan Shankle entitled What in the World are your Kids Doing Online?, which was published by Broadway Books, a division of Random House/Doubleday. It can still be purchased on Amazon.com. I regularly conduct professional workshops in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia and have also presented at national and international conferences on a variety of topics.
Welcome to “Helping Professionals Connect!” (also known as “The List”) — a statewide counselor email list that I started many, many years ago — it has even spread into some parts of North Carolina, Georgia and even Florida!
