About me

I am a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with 4 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, autism, relationship/ communication issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, and trauma. I specialize in family of origin issues, parenting concerns, and working with teens.

I have been specifically working with teens and their families in a residential setting ages 10-15 since 2017 who struggle with dual diagnoses, with complex family dynamics. Before working in a residential setting, I worked at a child advocacy center providing trauma-focused therapy to kids ages 4-18.

My therapy style is accepting and encouraging. I accept your challenging patterns that have absolutely worked before and are in place to get your needs met. I accept you’re at a point where these patterns no longer yield the best results and are looking for changes. My approach combines attachment-based approaches with DBT, short-term-focused therapy with a play therapy approach. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs or wants.

It takes a brave soul to recognize a need for change and to reach out for help. Your life can be so much more than the life you are living now.

I look forward to working with you by helping you, help yourself!

Such a wonderful and lovely person. Makes me feel so comfortable and understood, and I feel like im venting to a friend, not someone who will tell me all of my problems. She feels like someone who just wants to listen and help you understand your situation. If you need advice, she will offer that. If you need someone to just listen, she will listen and make you feel understood. Stuart is wonderful. :)

Great at figuring out what you feel like you want out of therapy and is able to help in some way no matter the subject in question.
I have never experienced leaving a session without feeling better in some way compared to before.

Although I have not had many sessions with Stuart yet, I can say that she seems very open minded and supportive, has a warm and inviting demeanor and I have found her to be very helpful.

Work with me!
