Therapists in Mount Pleasant, SC

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and compassionate space for individuals seeking support, guidance, and understanding. I firmly believe that empathy forms the cornerstone of effective therapy. It is through empathy that we forge a genuine connection, validate experiences, and foster an environment where healing and growth can flourish. If you are searching for a compassionate and empathetic therapist, I invite you to reach out and embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and well-being.

Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy. Sometimes life throws some really tough and painful things our way. Then, sometimes, we don’t even know why things feel as hard as they do but all of the sudden we notice that even the little things feel like too much.

Life can throw us some curve balls, and sometimes, when trying to deal with these curve balls, we struggle to find ways to cope. For some, coping through food and/or substance use is one of the ways that people try to cope through life challenges. For others it can be isolating, self-harming, or numbing yourself to feelings all around. These coping mechanisms only work for so long, until they don't work anymore, and end up hurting you. Sometimes these maladaptive coping skills only impact you, but often times, others close to you are hurting as well... your spouse, significant other, parents, siblings, and friends.

I work with individuals who want to heal, grow, and find relief from the burdens of their issues. I aspire to help clients cultivate a more positive and fulfilling life, with increased resilience and emotional well-being by providing a supportive and empathetic space free of judgement. I seek to guide an individual's self-exploration of their strengths, enhance their relationships, and regain control over their thoughts and behaviors. I will help you carry the weight of your burdens while you learn to free yourself from them.
