Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Gadsden, SC

I see clients of all ages and who are dealing with major life changes, traumatic events, relationship problems, and anxiety and depression. The clients I work with are dedicated to making meaning changes in their life, looking to heal from past wounds, and engaged in understanding the nature of their problems better. When people walk through my door, they are taking an important step in vulnerability and relinquishing a sense of control. They are admitting what we all have to admit: that we are broken. However, they recognize another truth: their potential to solve those problems and the choice to take responsibility for their life.

Haunted by past traumas? No matter the size of the “T/t”, these aren't just bad memories—they ruthlessly ambush your daily peace, spike your anxiety at unexpected moments, and rob you of simple joys. You might find yourself perpetually on guard, exhausted from the never-ending battle against emotional triggers, barely catching a break on what should be good days. This relentless stress can gnaw at your core, making even your best days feel overshadowed by an ever-present cloud of past hurts. The weight of these memories can make it feel impossible to move forward, as they color every interaction and experience with their shadow.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or wondering why relationships tend to feel so difficult? Do you find that you beat yourself up with self-criticism? Life can be challenging, and we may feel that we have to just keep going and suck it up, which may lead us to feel lonelier and more overwhelmed. In my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and previous experience as a yoga instructor I have found that the combination of mindfulness, self-awareness, and processing trauma can be quite powerful in finding our authentic selves.

Changes and transitions in life are sometimes hard to manage alone. These uncomfortable feelings are a signal that it's time for something to change. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I encourage my clients to identify life’s obstacles while creating strategies to work towards their goals.

Research indicates that women suffer from depression, anxiety, and eating disorders at disproportionate rates. Many women endure perhaps the most intense form of stress--interpersonal trauma ( e.g., rape, domestic violence, child abuse). An even larger proportion of women experience chronic high levels of stress, as they attempt to balance their responsibilities as professionals and their roles as mothers, wives, and daughters.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with substance use? Are your mood fluctuations becoming difficult to manage alone? Or does life just feel like too much right now, and you don't know why or what to do about it? In therapy, we will create a collaborative space to explore your behavior patterns, gain insight, and make change. Combining psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies we will tailor treatment to meet your needs. Life is a work in progress and I would be honored to help you write your next chapter.

Are you someone who feels like nothing is working? Someone who feels like no matter what they try, their pain seems to keep getting worse? Pain like anxiety, sadness, low self esteem. Or obsessions, bad body image, trauma, guilt? Pain does not discriminate, and neither should treatment. I love working with people who are too smart for their own good. People who know what they are struggling with, but just can't move past it. People who know exactly what to do in Balder's Gate, but can't seem to figure out this coping thing.
