Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Greenville County, SC

I offer weeknight and weekend appointments. I believe therapy is a safe space everyone can explore skills that are beneficial in life. I am confident I can assist you on your life journey. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence, child abuse, child neglect, sexual abuse, personality disorders, family difficulties, and substance use. I am a CAMS-II provider for anger management counseling. If you have been court ordered to anger management, look no further.

Are you struggling to cope with life stressors? Are you constantly stressed or overwhelmed? I provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment where you can process your thoughts and feelings while learning how to cope and master your inner happiness and focus.

It's hard to find someone who understands. It's hard showing people the real you. You're tired of being strong, but you've never been given any other choice. You're tired of wearing a mask, but you're afraid of what you'd find if you took the mask off. Perhaps you compare yourself to others and feel like you're supposed to be better or do better than you're doing. You're tired of feeling like you don't fit in, and you're sure that the only people in your life are only there because they don't know the real you. If any of these statements resonate with you, you've come to the right place.

My desire is to provide a non-judgmental environment that allows you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. My approach emphasizes cognitive-behavioral techniques focusing on improving coping skills, habits to manage stress, anger, & depression. I am a believer in the client's power to heal themselves from an outdated belief system as well as their own mental, emotional and spiritual challenges. I will be a guide on your journey to better health.

You are so overwhelmed right now that it feels like you don’t even have time to breathe. The to do lists are endless and the weight of the world is on your shoulders. When you do get a moment to relax, your mind won’t stop to give you even 5 seconds of peace. It feels like you are floating through life incapable of finding solid ground. Everything feels harder than it should, including your closest relationships. Hurts from the past seem to keep popping up even though they happened so long ago and you’ve moved on right? It might seem like you’re alone in trying to figure all of this out, but I see you and I get it.

Southern Grace is a place to feel known and understood. It is of utmost importance that all who enter my office feel and know that without a doubt, they are my world for the time we are together. Therapy is about having the desire for change; what we’ve done, been through, or where we come from is just a piece of our life’s story; it doesn’t have to be our whole story. I understand that moving through our discomfort can at times, feel unbearable and impossible. With self-compassion and patience, I believe all wounds can be healed. If you’ll let me, I would love to embark on the healing journey with you.

I am a passionate therapist with a love for working with children, adolescents and young adults.
