Therapists in Clemson, SC

It would be an honored to work with you on your mental health journey. My experiences have taught me empathy, compassion and curiosity when exploring ways to reduce stress and anxiety. Together we can safely approach the thoughts, feelings and sensations moving within the body. I use evidence-based therapy models like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and CBT to help clients safely move toward change. I focus on the strengths and needs of the client. By working collaboratively you are able to feel empowered in your life. Together healing is possible.

As a relationship focused therapist, my primary goal is promoting the healthy social, emotional, and relational health of both adults and young children. Endorsed as an Infant Family Specialist, I have experience with supporting the healthy social/emotional development of children prenatally through age 5. As an infant and early childhood mental health(IECMH) professional, I have an understanding of family dynamics and relationship building at an individual & family level. As a marriage counselor, I share tools to help marriages thrive. With both populations, I use a strength-based, culturally sensitive and trauma informed approach.

5points Behavioral Health is committed to providing the best therapeutic services possible to children, adolescents, and adults. 5points Behavioral Health does not discriminate in provision of services to an individual and believes (i) No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay, and (ii) There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income or (iii) based upon the individual’s race, color, sex, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

My passion is to see individuals develop as they discover more about themselves, the relationships in their lives, and the world around them.

Imagine a world where everything is perfect. Life is great; no worries, no stress, no DRAMA!. Now wake up! Life isn't easy. The fears, worries, trauma, and relational issues we carry day to day can keep us from living our lives to the fullest and reaching our full potential. Sometimes we feel our lives are spiraling beyond control. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space to process life transitions, explore feelings, identify your life's purpose, and help you live the abundant life destined for you.

Lonely, anxious, depressed, frustrated, angry, confused? Psychotherapy can be an important step toward seeking change, resolving issues and focusing on personal growth. Each person who begins therapy has different needs and goals making the therapeutic relationship unique. Life brings challenges, obstacles and burdens that can cause many feelings and emotions; sometimes paralyzing us towards a direction. Therapy is not a mystery but rather a process where healing is facilitated in a caring environment.

Change is a choice. I believe everyone, at some point in our lives, can benefit from counseling and make positive changes. Life happens and it can be very, very difficult and even totally overwhelming from time to time. Counseling can help you navigate through those challenging times no matter the circumstances. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, overcoming abuse or a history of violence, behavioral issues, grief, difficulty adjusting, or just need to learn more healthy and effective coping skills, do consider giving counseling a try. If you want to change and are willing to truly try, that is all it takes.

Our faith based counseling services incorporate both art and play therapy to offer adult, Children and Families relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.

Choosing a counselor can be a scary decision. It may help to know how I can assist you with your life issues. I specialize in grief therpy, family therapy, adolescent issues, and families with children with chronic illness. I also work with many general topics, including life coaching, trauma, and adjustment problems. I direct therapy from a Psychodynamic approach, taking into consideration your whole life story, not just the present situation. I view family issues from a Family Systems construct, seeing the family as an action story, each person playing a part.

You're a parent or a guardian who often feels overwhelmed by the emotional and behavioral challenges that their children face. It can be tough to provide co-regulation when you're feeling heightened as well. Maybe your child needs help regulating their emotional reactivity to high stress situations or finding coping skills that can help calm the storm of flooded feelings and expression. My hope is that we can work together to find strategies that range from processing trauma to meeting the unique needs of children who are gifted with diverse abilities.

I aim to make the counseling experience comfortable, safe, and supportive, while also pushing clients to set and achieve goals they may never have thought were possible. Specialization includes the treatment of anxiety and related challenges in children, adolescents and adults. Services are focused on awakening inner potential, strengthening relationships and organizing the world in ways that help clients overcome challenges and meet their own individual life goals.
