Eclectic Therapists in Okatie, SC

My practice is oriented towards helping people connect with their innate wisdom and emotional intelligence to discover within themselves the means to reach more integrated, satisfying and productive lives. I work with older teenagers, adults (individuals and couples), and seniors who suffer from depression, anxiety, loss or grief, relationship conflicts, emotional adjustment, and from conditions related to mood, personality and thinking.

I am eclectic in my therapy approach collaborating with each client to achieve their goals. Generally I emphasize cognitive and behavioral techniques combined with sufficient psychodynamic understanding of our personality functioning. I work with alternative techniques, including hypnosis. I am known for my optimistic energy and engaging, nurturing style. I look into each client to see excitement rather than anxiety, adventure rather than apprehension, vitality rather than drudgery, empowerment rather that loss of control, courage and strength rather than pain. I advocate trying something new, breaking the old patterns that continue to produce the unwanted consequences.

I have experience with individuals at all ages and all walks of life. I have worked with children with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, those with substance use issues, and more. I have worked to ensure that I am a well-rounded therapist who can draw from my experiences across multiple settings.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (SC 753) with over 30 years of private practice experience. Currently, I am in private practice with offices in both Beaufort and Bluffton, South Carolina. Prior to private practice, I worked in many outpatient clinics and inpatient hospitals which have thoroughly prepared me for the range of psychological issues that individuals face on a day-to-day basis. My therapeutic approach is both personalized and eclectic, designed to tackle the range of life problems that affect all of us in life.

Do you often feel responsible for everyone and everything? Accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame if you can’t do it all. Do thoughts of failure or not being good enough often cross your mind? It seems like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for long. It is likely that you have hidden your difficult feelings behind rigid emotional walls for years. It can be difficult to reach out to a therapist and share your vulnerable self. Therapeutic relationship is the largest factor in facilitating change, so I understand the importance of finding the right fit.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, as well as relationship and work issues.

My clients say I am "easy to talk to," warm, nonjudgmental, and caring. I see therapy as a close collaboration that will unfold your capacity to develop the necessary skills and perspectives to resolve the changes you would like to make in your life.

I specialize in working with adult females searching for personal empowerment, inner peace and self acceptance. None of us are immune to life struggles, fears and insecurities.

I will challenge you and teach you to trust your inner voice and access your infinite supply of insight, wisdom and power. You already have the answers, it is just a matter of accessing them.

My ultimate goal is to provide a genuine and safe environment. Through mistakes and failure, we can become resilient. I am honored to provide guidance in this vital journey.

Negative self thoughts, trauma, and the fear of stigma can often lead to hiding parts of ourselves. When there is an imbalance between our inner selves and what we present to the world around us, it can cause us to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame. It can feel impossible to imagine a life that isn't overshadowed by these feelings. My goal is to assist you in becoming self empowered to address the barriers that have held you back for so long from living as your authentic self.
