Therapists in Hilton Head Island, SC

People reaching out for professional services want respect and relief. I honor both of these. I respect that each client who comes to see me is the expert on their life and situation. I also respect that they are trusting me with their story and concerns. Yet, clients also want some relief. That is why my approach builds on the existing strengths and assets that an individual, couple, or family brings into my office so that symptom relief is quick and long term change is realistic and sustainable.

This includes helping clients find sobriety, making new and healthy connections, and dealing with the root causes of addiction.

Do you often feel responsible for everyone and everything? Accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame if you can’t do it all. Do thoughts of failure or not being good enough often cross your mind? It seems like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for long. It is likely that you have hidden your difficult feelings behind rigid emotional walls for years. It can be difficult to reach out to a therapist and share your vulnerable self. Therapeutic relationship is the largest factor in facilitating change, so I understand the importance of finding the right fit.
