Counseling in Charleston, WV
If you're searching for a therapist in Charleston, WV, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to begin. Maybe you're carrying grief that hasn’t eased. Maybe trauma from the past still shows up in your body or relationships. Or maybe something in your life simply isn’t working the way you hoped it would.
You don’t have to navigate that alone.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients across Charleston and throughout West Virginia via secure Telehealth. I work with adults and couples who want thoughtful, grounded support for trauma, relationship challenges, sexual concerns, grief, and emotional stress.
Trauma-Informed Therapy for Adults and Couples in Charleston
Many of the people I work with are carrying experiences that haven’t fully settled. Religious shame. Sexual trauma. Childhood emotional neglect. Relationship wounds. Loss. Anxiety that lingers in the nervous system.
My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. We move at a pace that respects your history and your goals. I integrate methods such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and other body-informed approaches to help shift patterns that feel stuck. With couples, I utilize techniques from The Gottman Method, Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (the other EFT), and Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy.
Whatever the method, therapy is about tuning-in to you and your needs and helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at peace with where you are and where you’re going.
Sex Therapy and Relationship Support in Charleston, WV
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I also support individuals and couples navigating:
- Sexual shame rooted in religious upbringing
- Desire differences
- Erectile or orgasm concerns
- Painful intercourse
- Recovery from sexual abuse
- Questions around sexual orientation or gender identity
- Relationship communication struggles
If intimacy feels complicated or heavy, therapy can create space to approach it with clarity and care.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental support for clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I do not offer or condone conversion therapy.

Trauma Therapy
I offer trauma-informed, nonjudgmental therapy using proven tools to help you shift beliefs and reconnect with your body.
Religious Sexual Trauma Therapy
You’ve always known you’re a sexual person. You even know who and what you like. And yet when it comes to sex, you feel like you’re doing something wrong.
Childhood Emotional Neglect Therapy
Emotional neglect can leave lasting feelings of shame, disconnection, and difficulty understanding your own emotional needs. This psychological pain is often unrecognized.
Emotional (or Covert) Incest Therapy
Blurred Boundaries can affect adult relationships, self-worth, and intimacy. Therapy helps you rebuild boundaries, reconnect with yourself, and feel safer in relationships.
