Therapists in Mount Pleasant, SC
As we journey through life we can lose our footing & become disconnected from ourselves & others. In response to various life experiences we may develop ways of coping that temporarily serve or protect us, such as focusing on food or engaging in avoidance. However, over time these patterns keep us from living our best life. Within an empathic & nonjudgmental space, I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges & take action toward a happier, healthier you. I provide a balance of validation & challenge to empower you to reaffirm your values, develop more meaningful connections, & make positive lasting change,

Life is complicated. At times, you may feel stuck, powerless, stressed or alone. I enjoy helping people understand themselves and their unique situations to figure their way forward and feel less overwhelmed. I am dedicated to supporting you to discover or re-discover the best version of you, no matter your circumstances or stage of life. I became a therapist because I have a deep compassion for the human experience and truly enjoy supporting you during the inevitable times when "life happens." For many of us, therapy is helpful to talk things over with a professional who can listen intently, and offer a fresh perspective.

The issues that bring individuals to a therapist such as depression, stress, grief, or relationship issues don't feel very good. However, these very issues and the path we enter to resolve them can result in enormous opportunities for growth. I work with clients who want to learn more effective ways of relating to others, reduce depression and anxiety, become more aware of personal boundaries, and live more authentic lives in the present moment. Some of my areas of specialty are: parenting issues, relationship issues, divorce contemplation and recovery, and understanding grief and loss.

Life will always have challenges for us to overcome. Often these challenges pile up and we can begin to feel overwhelmed, fearful, and even defeated. Have you found yourself in one of these situations? I would love to help you navigate whatever it is you are going through.
I have always genuinely enjoyed listening to others, helping them creatively solve problems, and work towards their goals. I understand personally how the effects of depression, anxiety, and substance use can cause chaos in our lives and result in feelings of isolation.

Life is better when we learn to work WITH the hard things in life. A tree sprouting through a busy sidewalk is beset with challenges, yet it finds a way. When we want to be empowered, confident, peaceful, and loving, it's usually not our circumstances that need to shift, it's our limiting beliefs.
Talking in circles about our problems is a temptation, but it doesn't solve them. I help clients cut through the noise and go after the root of their issues. EMDR allows you to create space to choose new ways of thinking and feeling about yourself. When your beliefs change, so do the ways you show up in the world.
