Therapy that meets you where you are
Charleston-based therapy for people who weren’t sure they’d ever make this call.
Our Approach
Everyone comes in carrying something different. My role isn’t to hand you answers — it’s to create an environment where you can find your own.
That belief comes from Carl Rogers, the foundation of my training, and from years of working with people who didn’t think therapy was for them. Athletes. Men who’d never talked to anyone. People in their eighties sitting with a lifetime of feeling. What I’ve learned is that when trust is genuinely present in a room, people surprise themselves.
Sessions are honest, unhurried, and built around you. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, we start where you are.
Services
Kettering Counseling offers three areas of focus
For adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or the kind of restlessness that’s hard to name — individual therapy built on trust and honest conversation.
-
For student athletes and performers managing pressure, identity, and the mental side of competition — mindset coaching rooted in real experience.
-
For older adults facing grief, loss, and the emotional terrain of later life — a warm, consistent presence and a space to be heard.

“It is the therapist’s role to empathize, to reflect the internal experience of the client as sensitively and honestly as possible. Through that relationship journey, the client finds progress for themselves.’’
