Therapists in Clemson, SC

Are you ready to find the resolution and healing that you need so that you can experience the life and relationships that you really want? If so, I am passionate about helping my clients identify and resolve the obstacles that are keeping them from their goals. In a warm, interactive environment, I will help you look at your concerns using multiple perspectives and proven counseling methods. I have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma/abuse recovery, grief, stress, and life transitions. My clients are both individuals and couples, and I love to incorporate faith to the extent that clients' desire.

Are you overwhelmed? Stressed out? Struggling to manage? I work with clients who are struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, body image and self harming behaviors. I also see adolescents and adults who are having trouble adjusting, transitioning and managing stress. I believe full recovery is possible for everyone whether it's from an eating disorder or having self-defeating thoughts. Together we will work towards agreed upon goals that meet your needs and help you live at ease with yourself and the world around you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and art therapist I create a safe, welcoming environment that will enable you to create positive change in your life, family and community. Working together we will identify avenues to engage in a value driven life. At times feelings of anxiety and depression act as barriers to our goals and values. Through a variety of techniques, such as mindfulness, ACT (acceptance & commitment therapy) and art therapy these barriers can be eliminated.

I believe that life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes people need help navigating through difficult times. If you are struggling, I would love to be the one to help you through this season of your life and provide you with skills that will help you become more resilient and confident. I specialize in treating children and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma and problems with regulating emotions.

** EVENING & WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE ** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ** I have worked with Individuals and Family Systems since 2003. I enjoy working with family systems, parent child relationships, behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Often times we can feel anxious or sad about some parts of our life and need someone to talk with about how we are feeling.

You have always felt driven towards perfection. You attended the right schools, chose the high-pressure career, married the right type of partner, and had children with them. Everyone who knows you thinks you have it all. But something has changed everything for you. You have nagging doubts. Where you once felt in control and confident, you now feel devastated, confused, and lost. You are struggling to get through the day while your numerous responsibilities await. The pressure is starting to feel unbearable.

We are products of our environment, experiences and relationships. Along the way, we have gathered deeply internalized beliefs - some that serve our growth and wellbeing, some that don’t - emotions, both positive and negative, and chronic stress or trauma. All of this has impacted our life and much of what has happened in the past still resides deeply in our body, manifesting as behavioral, relational or emotional struggles, often unexplained and sometimes inexplicable.

Finding a therapist for a loved one or yourself can be challenging. Engaging in therapy can be a step toward healing. Have you wondered what it would feel like to work with a trusted therapist to improve your psychological well-being, build resilience, and gain skills to handle situations life throws at you? The therapeutic process can help individuals be the healthiest version of themselves.

Reaching out for help is the first (and often the hardest) step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Your courage and curiosity about how things may be different for you are enough to begin! Be PROUD of yourself for taking this step! I believe in a collaborative approach that includes cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based skills, brain science, and non-judgment. We will work together to determine your therapeutic goals and the steps to take to reach those goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provide virtual and in-person therapy for people who live in the state of South Carolina. Most of my clients enjoy virtual because of the flexibility it offers. I do offer in-person appointments for clients if that is your preference. Both options are effective. I believe that therapy is a collective journey in which my goal is to provide you with the tools to gain insight and self-awareness that foster personal growth and positive change in your life. I have worked in the human services field for over 24 years with children and adults of diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns.

As a psychologist, I help clients address barriers to wellness and realize their potential by promoting insight and healthy coping in an emotionally safe context. My goal is to elicit your feedback about your experience and to tailor treatment to your needs. Regardless of the source of the problem or the various ways it can be addressed, I believe that the therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation for effective counseling and treatment.
