Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Berkeley County, SC

I am a kind, caring, and empathic professional that enjoys working with various populations from different genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, and cultures. I provide a safe place to process feelings and encouragement for anyone seeking to make changes needed in their lives. I also have helped many individuals through different life phases and individuals or families suffering from substance use disorder.

Intentional Living is to live on purpose and with choice. The Point of Power is in the Now! We have the power to change problematic issues by recognizing and challenging troublesome thoughts. Intentional Living is what we deserve. No one should struggle with life dictating their path or their happiness. The truth is the things within your control are the thoughts that cause you worry, fear, anxiety, and low moods. These feelings often result in difficulties that disrupt our lives. I can show you how to recognize/change thoughts or use EMDR to process maladaptively stored memories. The choice is yours. Live with intention today!

Counseling is a unique journey, involving a collaboration between therapist and client. Each individual is different and I believe in individualizing therapy, versus a "one size fits all" method. I believe in supporting clients by guiding them through self-discovery and challenging/processing their internal dialogues.

The Wellness Pot integrates a holistic model when working with clients, treating not only the mind but the body as well. Our therapist supports the well-being and growth from youth to adulthood. We believe in creating a nurturing, non-judgmental & supportive environment where young minds can flourish and thrive. Our therapist specializes in single parenthood, teenage parenting, women issues, life transitions, & foster care/adoptions. Our goal is to work collaboratively with clients to promote positive change, build resilience, and empower clients to face life's challenges with confidence.

As a therapist my primary goal is to meet clients exactly where they are in life. I'm here to help you through the parenting journey and encourage you to be the best parent that you can be. My passion is helping those that have been court mandated to complete parenting (series of classes). My theoretical approach is tailored to meet the needs of each client with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Clients I have worked with have sought services to address anxiety, depression, trauma and relational stress.

Life is often a series of difficult challenges and painful struggles. It can be hard to make sense of it all, let go and truly heal. Still, trauma, chronic pain/illness, mood issues, loss or other difficult problems do NOT need to define you or your life. I have a passion to help young adults, women, single moms, military families, and others who've been impacted by the tough stuff life has to offer. Using a holistic, strengths-based approach that integrates wellness practices, with trauma informed modalities I can help facilitate the healing process, and provide an opportunity for you to become the best version of yourself!

As a trauma therapist, I work with clients to develop healthy coping strategies to promote wellness as it relates to the impact of trauma or stressful experiences from the past. I typically incorporate various techniques including art, nature, and breath-work into traditional evidence based therapies. I will start by asking you to think about what you will be doing, thinking, and feeling differently when you don't need therapy anymore. We can then collaborate to create a roadmap to meet your goals. Sometimes even thinking about the end goal can be scary; that's ok, we can figure it out together!

My ideal client is someone that comes to our office with the willingness to invite change into their lives. While it is not required that they have extensive knowledge about their diagnosis or what it means, they just know that their current situation is something they are willing to put in a certain amount of time and effort towards making changes. In short, my ideal client is ready and willing, we will work on getting them able together.

Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed and burnt out? Is it affecting your day-to-day life and sense of fulfillment in your career? Do you feel exhausted and frustrated by the constant pressure to live up to unrealistic standards, leaving you questioning if there's a way to regain your passion and authenticity? And/or are you battling low self-esteem and confidence making it challenging to break out of your comfort zone? Know that you're not alone, you can have a more fulfilling life where you can thrive not just survive.

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma? I'm passionate about working with each client to provide a safe place where you can begin to explore, learn, and heal from life experiences. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I would love to partner with you on the journey to reaching your full potential.

Person centered trauma focused therapy looking at your past and present experiences and relationships to identify core-beliefs and world views that may be keeping you stuck and blocking you from your future goals. You are the expert of your life, I would like to provide a safe space for you to explore and heal unresolved trauma and seek self actualisation.

Often times, people have a preconceived notion of what therapy is, and what it is not, which may raise questions such as "Can therapy truly help me or my loved one?" and “Will my therapist really understand who I am and where I would like to go?”. To those questions, I can say, yes! Therapy is often described as a journey, and getting started can help you or your loved one get to the desired destination. I hope that I can assist in this deep process, especially knowing how scary this can be for so many of all ages!

I would not say that I have an ideal client. I strive to meet my clients wherever they are at and go at the pace set by each client, as I believe that my clients know best about what they need and how to get there. My role is that of helping them untangle all of the thoughts and things that have gotten them to where they are and help them untangle them so that they can "see through the tangled mess" and I can help them formulate a path out.

As an LPC, my goal is to help you identify your path to true happiness. Engaging in counseling will empower you to live your best life.

My goal in working with you is to support you in processing your life experiences and to empower you through the use of relevant therapeutic resources. These resources could include: cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art therapy, meditation/flow state, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology. As a therapist, I also believe that taking a holistic approach is incredibly important to personal growth, which means examining all parts of your life: spiritual, physical, mental, nutritional, and relational.

I understand that the therapy process can be intimidating for many. It is my goal to provide you with a respectful, confidential and supportive environment where you will feel comfortable in sharing your needs and leave feeling heard and empowered.

Voted Berkely County's therapist of the year for 2022 My focus Is on healing. I believe to heal and to become empowered we need to heal the whole person with a connection between the mind body and spirit. Healing comes when we can discover our personal value and worth. When we discover and live our lives knowing our personal value and worth it will carry over into our professional and personal areas of our lives. You do not have to stay stuck, I can, and will help you.

I recognize that sometimes we as human beings know there is something off in our lives, and we have a difficult time figuring out what is happening on our own. I would love to help you, on your journey to insight and understanding, to move forward. I can help you learn how to develop coping strategies, process through emotions and significant life experiences, and how to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. ​
