Therapists in Abbeville, SC

Taking that first step towards healing and self-improvement can be difficult but you don’t have to take that step alone. As a licensed counselor with over 30 years of experience in mental health, I have the knowledge, experience and insight to walk alongside you. My approach is based on a collaborative relationship as we work together toward healing and meaningful change. I meet clients where they are in life and support them with compassion and empathy. My goal is to provide a safe space, where we can explore root causes of problems and develop a plan for self-awareness that will promote personal growth and positive change.

Are you struggling with everyday life stressors? Do you feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed in life? Do you feel disconnected from family and friends or just need help with handling your problems? Are you one of the many who suffer from a lack of self esteem and confidence, or are you someone who would like to build stronger boundaries with others and learn how to become more assertive? Whatever you are experiencing, I can help you move past your struggles and guide you on a new path of healing. We will work together to challenge the thoughts, beliefs and patterns that prevent you from moving forward.

Email is the best means of communication. There are times when our past can creep up into our present and take charge. Doing the best we can with the skills we have, we attempt to triumph over pain, heartache, trauma, fears, etc. However, there are times when we feel broken no matter how hard we try to put the pieces back together. Although we cannot change the past, we can put the pieces back together and still be beautiful; different yet beautiful. I like to think of therapy like the art of kintsugi, putting our broken pieces back together with a gold bond.

I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience, purpose, and clarity. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and humanistic traditions to tailor treatment to your unique needs and preferences. I recognize the importance of creating a safe and affirming space where clients of all backgrounds, including Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, can feel seen, heard, and valued. I am committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, prejudice, and bias.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
