Therapists in 29205
Something shifted, maybe gradually or maybe all at once, and now it feels like you're
carrying more than you were built to hold. You're still showing up, still functioning, but there's a quiet exhaustion underneath it all. You've been managing, but managing isn't the same as living. Whether anxiety has you looping on worst-case scenarios, depression has dimmed the things that used to matter, or trauma is showing up in ways you can't quite name — you deserve more than just getting through the day. There is a way through, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

Challenges in life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Learning to live together in love with others can be especially taxing. At times we may get “stuck” and need to find our way. I am passionate about helping you find new pathways to connection, healing and growth. I understand the challenges of being a couple, of parenting, and managing individual struggles. I also recognize the potential of each individual, couple and family, to grow, to change and find our way up and out of difficulties. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to provide you care within the context of your relationships.

Maybe you feel like you can't handle your emotions, or the heaviness of your life experiences is constantly hanging over you. Maybe you have internal thoughts or parts of yourself that are very hard on you, or you ruminate on things that happened in the past.

I work with adults who are dealing with a combination of depression, anxiety or trauma AND who are at a place in life where they're trying to figure out how to go from making things "okay" to actually thriving. I provide a supportive environment where you can talk about what's going on without being worried that you're "trauma dumping".

I am an interpersonal therapist who worked for 4 years in a college counseling center and have been working out of my private practice since 2010. While my overarching approach is interpersonal, I utilize other theories as needed. Cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and emotionally focused therapy are examples of the other schools from which I pull. Clients are not a "one size fits all." Before becoming a therapist, I taught school for twenty years. I feel fortunate to have been able to work in two especially gratifying helping fields.

You've probably Googled "therapist near me" more than once, and maybe even clicked away from profiles that felt too formal, too clinical, or just… off. That's fair. Therapy only works when you actually connect with your therapist — and connection takes more than credentials. Whether you're a teenager who shuts down when things get hard, a young woman carrying more than she should, or a parent unsure how to help your child, I want you to know: you don't have to figure this out alone. I work with kids, teens, and young adults across SC navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and the quiet weight of just trying to keep it all together.

Would you rather go to the gyno than see a therapist? If you're a woman with ADHD who cringes at the thought of therapy, I get it. Therapy shouldn't feel like a lecture or a bad Tinder date. My approach is candid conversations, practical strategies, and a good dose of humor. My vibe is less clinical, more coffee date with a friend kind of vibe.
I love working with women who are tired of losing their keys, their focus, and their patience with themselves (and others). We'll figure out what actually works for your brain instead of forcing you into someone else's system that was never built for you in the first place.

The experience of engaging in therapy is unique for everyone, and it requires vulnerability and a great deal of trust. My therapeutic approach is personalized to each client, which allows the sessions to be centered around you with an emphasis on where you are currently. I utilize my therapeutic approach in conjunction with my interactive therapy style to cultivate a healthy therapeutic relationship to create a safe and affirming space to heal, to expand the things that are working, and to encourage personal freedom and empowerment.
