Therapists in Conway, SC

Prior to becoming a licensed professional counselor I worked in a number of related counseling areas. Our histories create in us the skills to manage or mismanage; to be brave or be fearful; to trust and mistrust and to know when to love or love till it hurts. Do you often find that as you make your way through life you encounter self doubt, frightening levels of hopelessness and fear? As you struggle with these questions, issues and feeling, your struggle may be weighed down by a sense of fear as to who to trust and how to love.

As a therapist, I’m driven by the unwavering belief that every individual possesses the innate power to transform their lives. Through my journey of understanding and connecting with people, I’ve come to realize the profound need for support and encouragement on the path from pain to lasting happiness. Being a therapist is not just a career, it’s a profound calling, and I consider myself fortunate to have the privilege of sitting with individuals during their darkest moments and witnessing the incredible transformations they undergo. Thank you for checking me out, and I look forward to meeting you!

Alone we can only do so much, but together we can do so much more. Asking for help isn’t always easy, however when we finally do, we realize how much easier it is to do things alongside someone else. Life is always changing (for better or worse), people come and go in our lives as we get older, dealing with day-to-day emotions, it can all sometimes be hard to understand what they mean or why they are there. Through working together we can process these emotions, go with the changes and grow within ourselves. I created Better Together Counseling, LLC with the belief that we truly can get better when we work together!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who attained my masters at Webster University. I've worked with adolescents and adults in community and private practice based settings. I currently work with adult clients who are seeking guidance in recovering from the emotional and psychological distress of childhood trauma. Moreover, I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and the effects of life transitions.

Trauma is, unfortunately, a very prevalent issue in our world. It can impact our sense of safety, ability to connect with others in a healthy manner and self esteem. Learning the natural responses to trauma as well as our triggers, cues and strategies to regulate helps to increase our ability to gain control over symptoms and respond to current life experiences instead of reacting. Survivors can incorporate their experience as a piece of their life story as opposed to feeling as if they are defined by their trauma.

I approach my work with clients from a strength base and person-centered model utilizing a variety of clinical methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psycho-dynamic and solution-focused therapy. My areas of specialty are mood and personality disorders (i.e. depression, anxiety, and anger management, bipolar, borderline, antisocial and dependent personality).

Thank you for inquiring about my services and treatment specialties. I have and continue to successfully assist many individuals, youth and elderly, couples, and families who are courageous enough to seek professional therapeutic counseling services. In my experience, I have learned that life will inevitably bring changes. Some of which are hard to cope with and endure. These times for many produce stress, anger, anxiety depression, and other mood disorders. I utilize evidence-based practices such as ad CBT and REBT to assist my clients in navigating through and overcoming these times.
