Beaufort Psychological Services
I operate in two different spheres. In one, I assist people on their mental health journey through therapy. In the other, I work with individuals and organizations in a diagnostic capacity, providing tailored psychological or psychoeducational testing. Additionally, I offer educational advocacy support to families with school-aged children.
