Therapists in Mount Pleasant, SC

Hello. I am glad you have decided to take a step towards getting some help. I believe that therapy works when based on the client's individual needs. I combine cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy skills and psychoanalysis to facilitate change. I am straightforward and honest in my sessions. We will complete a full assessment and begin developing a treatment plan with specific goals to serve as our road map. My approach is based on modalities that support change. I believe a deep self-awareness can bring us to our best selves. Be ready to work towards your goals.

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.

You are a BADASS - let's settle that now. You probably look like (on instagram) like you have your life together, but inside have a shaky sense of self, low self-esteem, and maybe some problems in relationships? Maybe you don’t feel like you’re doing “enough” and that you are comparing yourself to the curated lives of others (been here, too). You have looked inward and decided it’s time to put YOU first and create the life you want to have. With the right therapist (me?), you can and WILL have a life that you are excited about, deal with those internal struggles, and be your unashamed, authentic you. If this is you, let's talk.

I believe we all are meant to live an inspired life, and with a little work, we can break through the obstacles that hinder or keep us from thriving. Sometimes those obstacles may define themselves as depression, anxiety, or obsessions. If you are feeling stuck in a routine life, if your present relationship is not moving forward, if the behavior and actions you use to cope with stress have trapped you, maybe it is time for a change. I work with individuals, couples, and marriage partners who want to reach a higher potential in their life.

Are you and your partner struggling with being disconnected? Is past trauma interfering with your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Perhaps, you have fallen into unhealthy communication patterns or are unsure how to rekindle the passion you once experienced together? Healthy intimate relationships are pivotal to having a balanced overall wellbeing. You and your partner have concluded it is time to commit fully to growth and no longer live with the underlying disconnect and tension; to put in the effort to create a new happier and healthier functional relationship.

My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrated and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply, naturally. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and Nationally Certified Master Addictions Counselor with extensive experience working with adolescents and their families. I enjoy helping adolescents and adults adjust to life transitions, strengthen and restore relationships, and manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other various issues. I have worked with both adolescents and adults struggling with substance use; and those that have been involved with the legal system who may not have necessarily sought treatment on their own.

I enjoy helping individuals navigate unhealthy or toxic relationships and create new patterns that align with their goals and values. Whether you're facing codependency, poor boundaries, abuse or lacking communication skills, I can help guide you on a path towards freedom and peace. In addition to helping clients navigating difficult interpersonal relationships, I also help those struggling with anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Most importantly, I create a safe, non-judgemental and comfortable environment for my clients to explore the difficult areas of their life while holding space for humanness and levity.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with 45 years of practice experience, specializing in life transitions, stress, depression and anxiety. I see individuals from ages 8 - 88. I trained as a systemic thinker and my work is solution focused using a cognitive, practical framework to build on client strengths. I still believe that it is a privilege to be included in the change process, to potentially make a difference in another's life.

You are tired of feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied with life. You are at the point where you know something has to change–even if you don’t know exactly what that is or what it may look like. You are ready to take the first step to truly living the life you would like to live: To find and connect with what is important to you and be the best version of yourself you can be. You are ready to find a new way of living that leads to happiness and fulfillment instead of depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.

My approach is to understand you deeply and individualize our work by finding what is most effective for you. All people are unique and their life circumstances are particular to who they are. Through collaboration, we figure out what is what is most beneficial for your wellbeing and also what is realistic for your lifestyle. I look forward to meeting you and exploring what you wish to change through an initial free phone consultation.

My counseling philosophy is a simple one. I fully and completely believe in the power and process of therapy. I have seen it work; radically changing lives and restoring relationships. I am honored that people allow me into their world to offer knowledge, understanding, and guidance. I am passionate about what I do, and I am committed to help my clients work through their issues and feel better in their lives. I am trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR and I practice from a mind-body perspective utilizing holistic philosophies like mindfulness with a focus on overall wellness.

My sense of humor is big part part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. In addition to counseling, I also provide life coaching for clients who want to make changes but aren't sure where to start. I work particularly well with clients who are nervous or skeptical about the idea of counseling. I realize that therapy can be a significant expense, so I run my practice as efficiently as possible. All scheduling, forms, notes, and billing are online, so we can make the best use of our time together.

I have been EMDR Certified since 2014. I enjoy working with Adolescents & Adults with Anxiety & Depression, Trauma, Relationships, Substance Abuse, other Addictive Behavior-among other issues. I treat using CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused/Reality Therapy techniques. I offer counseling tailored to fit your individual needs, in a supportive, and confidential environment. My style has been described as empathetic and compassionate. I partner with my clients in helping them to understand themselves. We identify feelings & thoughts, filtering incongruencies which may be interfering with your personal happiness & relationships.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them find greater fulfillment within the various aspects of their lives, whether it's their sense of self, interpersonal relationships, or professional life. A strong therapeutic relationship has the ability to heal, to empower, and to initiate lasting change. It can help guide you through life's challenges so that you emerge stronger and wiser. I work with adults, couples and adolescents, many of whom seek therapy simply because they are feeling "stressed out" or "not as happy" as they'd like, while others may be experiencing more significant symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with substance use? Are your mood fluctuations becoming difficult to manage alone? Or does life just feel like too much right now, and you don't know why or what to do about it? In therapy, we will create a collaborative space to explore your behavior patterns, gain insight, and make change. Combining psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies we will tailor treatment to meet your needs. Life is a work in progress and I would be honored to help you write your next chapter.
