Feeling like life has gotten beyond your abilities to handle? Perhaps you're stressed out from work, or the loss of a loved one. Perhaps there are struggles in your marriage, or you're wondering what's going on with your kids. Perhaps you are engaged and simply wanting to set yourself and your partner up for a successful marriage. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with a mental health concern and now you are concerned with how to help them. Or perhaps you or a loved one is struggling with self-harm or thoughts of suicide. Life may be difficult, but it can still be one worth living.
It's been my honor to help many children, teens, and adults who have struggled in such areas and to help them build the life they would like to live. Through a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) I work with my clients to establish goals for treatment and then partner with them in reaching those goals.
Whether it's working with individuals, families, or couples, I'm here to help people increase insight, build skills, reduce suffering, and find freedom. Contact me today for more information on how to schedule your first counseling session! I practice primarily in Georgia, but am now offering telehealth counseling to residents of South Carolina.
