Female Therapists in Greer, SC

Life is not predictable. Relationships and circumstances change, causing emotional responses which are activated by stress or a feeling of being overwhelmed. Therapy acts as a holding space for those emotional experiences which are sometimes difficult to share. Therapy is a tool that can be used to assist in overcoming or understanding obstacles to growth. I want to share in these emotional experiences with you and offer support and guidance while you navigate through life's transitions.

Someone once said “Those who wish to sing will always find a song”. But sometimes finding the motivation to ask for help when you need it can be a difficult task. There may be times when you feel like you can’t go to friends or family for help. As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment for my clients so that we can navigate through those tough times together. As a result, symptoms of anxiety, depression and self-doubt decrease through an increased sense of well-being.

You know you have wounds. You want to heal them, but you don’t know how. If that's true for you, you’re likely familiar with some of these things: Feeling disconnected from others (sometimes even life itself). Feeling misunderstood, lost, lonely, & stuck. Wishing to make sense of life experiences. Being riddled with self-doubt. Struggling with shame. Having an urge to grow but feeling defeated at the same time. Experiencing constant push-&-pull forces between fighting for better or giving in to people-pleasing or settling. Wanting something different, more, & better for yourself. Longing for support, guidance, empowerment & healing.

I have helped diverse clients work through residual effects of early life traumas, as well as current symptoms of anxiety, depression, and general dissatisfaction with life. Are you feeling stuck in recurring patterns of thought or behavior that hinder satisfying connections to others? Have you needed a nonjudgmental ear, an ally to encourage and support decisions you want to make to improve relationships with yourself, a partner, a child, a parent, or other family member? Maybe a lifestyle change is causing you to feel as if you're losing control and unable settle into your new situation?

I have many years experience working with adults and children suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, anger issues, trauma, and abuse. I have also worked in the field of drug and alcohol addiction. After my graduate studies, my primary focus and training was working with children suffering from ADHD, ODD, depression, and anxiety. I used behavioral management coupled with parenting strategies to improve the overall parent/child relationship. I gained incredible knowledge and insight regarding chronic pain as well as grief and loss while working with the elderly population through home health care and hospice.

I am a passionate therapist with a love for working with children, adolescents and young adults. My goal in therapy is to help clients find their identity even with a new diagnosis and to teach them that they don't have to be controlled by their symptoms. Therapy is a wonderful resource if you are feeling lost, confused, unheard, defeated, worthless, hopeless or just stuck in life. Through therapy, I work not only with the client but also the family in order to find a resolution to problematic behaviors or improve overall parenting and communication skills with children.

The process of change requires us to start somewhere, and it is our very first steps that consequentially reveal our true strength and ability to invest in ourselves, our well-being, and find meaning in our lives. I work with adolescent and adult clients and have been so fortunate to discover my true passion for trauma-focused care, and my eclectic, integrative style. As a firm believer in the significance of both our past and present experiences, my clinical approach is grounded in a universal and authentic perspective.

Let's be honest, life and relationships aren't always easy. If we are a good fit, I have a seat ready for you, so that you aren't doing it alone. You may be experiencing unexpected life change, disruption in your relationship, you feel life is harder more days than not, or need help healing from your past. Maybe, you want to dive into self-exploration. I have spent the last decade helping individuals and couples navigate through difficult times. I'm here to meet you where you are, dig deep to help you find where it is you want to be, and work together to get you there.

I'm glad you are here! Coming to therapy isn’t always easy, so if this is your first time, or you are looking for a new therapeutic experience, I’ll help you feel comfortable, safe, and confident about our work together. I am passionate about working with individuals who are considering how positive change can impact their lives. Together, we will uncover the behaviors and feelings that have kept you stuck - stuck in your life, your relationships, and work or school. My style is friendly, personable, engaged, and supportive. We can kick off our shoes and sip coffee or tea while we talk.

I'm proud to work individually with diverse populations, such as tweens, adolescents, young adults/college students, and adults in South Carolina. Though I am able to offer my services to the vast majority of people dealing with most issues, my specialty is with those who are struggling with Panic Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD. Many of my clients have an emotionally sensitive temperament and need different skills to create a life that has meaning and purpose.

My ideal client does not fit one mold, but instead embodies clients who seeks a sincere, professional counselor who is dedicated to helping them find the tools to meet their goals. I am passionate about helping each client know that their needs and goals are important to me, and am dedicated in partnering with them to help find less distress from worry, anxiety, negative thoughts, depression, and other symptoms. I know that with these emotions one can feel helpless and exhausted in seeking relief or answers to lessen pain. My life work is built around walking alongside those in need, partnering with them to work towards their goals.
