Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Graniteville, SC

I have extensive training with severe symptoms including suicidal thoughts and self-harm. I specialize in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) techniques for a variety of mood and personality disorders. I help people work out the barriers to their goals by teaching techniques that are specific to clients' needs.

Seeking therapy can be difficult, and it can be hard to talk about issues with debilitating symptoms. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker, my goal is to meet you where you are, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and develop treatment plans that are specific to you as an individual. I work with adults (17+) who have anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, chronic pain and illnesses, grief, suicidal thoughts and self harm, and with military and veteran populations. If you are struggling, I want to assist and support you in reaching your treatment goals.

Feeling stuck? Shame, guilt, and worry weighing you down? Are you a "fixer" or "people pleaser" struggling to prioritize yourself? Maybe your relationships are less than fulfilling, and you're feeling alone with no one to support you. This is a tough way to live, and let me tell you this: it's not the only way for you, and I am here to help you get there.

At times, trauma can get us locked in painful patterns of interacting with others or responding to our environment. Whether we are re-living pain and hurt in our relationships or reacting to triggers around us in ways that no longer serve us, the results can leave us depressed, chronically stressed, and exhausted. Living an authentic life that includes joy and fulfillment does not have to be a fantasy. Therapy can help you gain some clarity about your struggles and give you the tools you need to make transformational changes.

Believe it or not...this is a FUN process. The most important aspect of counseling is to attain the goals you identify. You are the expert in your own life. I am comfortable working with clients who have identified almost any problem area but specifically I am well trained in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and problems in the social and family environment. I work on the goals you identify rather than my opinion of what you should work on. This makes me a very non-judgmental personal and I develop strong positive relationships with my clients.
