Therapists in Greer, SC

Accepting New Clients! Have you found yourself exhausted from a long history of self-help techniques to only find yourself confused, hopeless, and questioning your worth? Perhaps you have struggled to break free from pornography use or sexual addiction for years. If this describes you, you are probably wondering who you can trust or what can be done to help you. Perhaps you question whether you are lovable, worthy of acceptance, or whether anyone cares to know you. The burdens mentioned above are common to the human condition, however, when you are in the thick of them, you feel desperate and alone.

Forming an alliance with a therapist helps individuals address some of the most challenging situations that life has to offer. I am trained to assess situations and problems from the family perspective which enables lasting change to occur. Life has presented me with many experiences that allow me to encourage clients to explore alternate solutions from the experiential perspective.

Together, we can bridge the gap between who you are now and who you want to become.

Acknowledging life struggles and making the decision to improve your mental health and wellbeing is often the hardest first step. Every person has their own individual reason for taking that first step. Some are struggling with major life transitions, some are finding they no longer feel excited about life and lack motivation to engage in activities that make them feel good. Others feel anxious doing everyday activities and some find that their past experiences hold them back from living their best life. Whatever your reason is for taking that first step, I am so glad you did!

“What is wrong with me?” Have you ever found yourself feeling this way? Something feels “off,” and you just can’t put your finger on it. All the things that are supposed to make you feel happy and fulfilled are not doing any of these things. Instead, you feel more broken and disconnected inside than ever. You are doing all the “right stuff” to overcome your past; yet, your painful history always manages to catch up to you, leaving you feeling “stuck” in the same destructive thought patterns and relationships. You don't necessarily want to die, but are tired of living this way. Can you relate?

Let me help you. My passion is to help people find ways to live their lives more effectively. Many people admit that they do not know what to do to help their situation. A recognition of the need for change is the first step. Counseling can offer guidance that will help people avoid common mistakes and find solutions. If you are motivated to better yourself, I would like to offer you help.

It is my mission to help people who are hurting emotionally. It has been my experience that we all go through times when we can use a professional to offer a nonjudgmental, empathetic ear. As a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist, I see individuals, couples and families. I am a great fit for those who are dedicated and desiring change. I like to give lots of resources and homework yet only if it is preferred by the client. Sometimes life only allows us to have the session time to work on things and that’s okay too.

I aim to make the counseling experience comfortable, safe, and supportive, while also pushing clients to set and achieve goals they may never have thought were possible.

Through life experiences we may develop self-defeating beliefs that can interfere with our joy, progress and relationships.

I am fluent in Physical, Emotional, Sexual Trauma Recovery as well as other challenging life issues and stressors. Learning to make healthier choices lead to more positive outcomes!

Deconstructing from Christianity and exploring your gender identity, sexuality, or if you’re “queer enough” to be part of the LGBTQ community can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re curious about ethical non-monogamy and opening your relationship but don’t know where to start. I’m here to say these questions are normal and you are not alone. You deserve a non-judgmental space to explore the parts of you that feel contradictory, taboo, or “sinful.” You want to feel deeply connected to who you are and in your relationships. You want to feel emotions without being overwhelmed, shutdown, or numb altogether.

Heal -- Grow -- Thrive. Those are my goals for my clients to accomplish through the therapy process. I help clients use their strengths and experiences to reach their goals for healing and personal growth. I enjoy working with adolescents and their families, as well as adults who are struggling to cope with their daily lives. Change can be difficult, but you don't have to keep going on like this! As your therapist, I would like to come alongside you and help you take some positive steps to change!
