Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in North Myrtle Beach, SC

It is hard being a parent. It is even harder when your child is experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. As an experienced professional school counselor and licensed professional counselor associate, I assist children, adolescents, and young adults with their mental health needs. I am here to listen free of judgement and to support you and your family. I strive to provide an environment that is safe, compassionate, and encouraging.

At Inner Peace Behavioral Health, our therapists and staff value each and every client that comes through our door. The goal is to work together with clients towards increased personal insight, improved relationships, healing, and personal growth.

I have successfully helped clients of all ages and backgrounds recover from anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and grief.

My focus is on meeting each person where they are at; seeing their uniqueness and strengths and using these as the foundations for bringing about desired change, acceptance, and helping one see their own strengths. I have a variety of tools in my therapeutic "tool box" and strive to use the tools/techniques that resonate most for each individual. For some it may be a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach or Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), others Mindfulness, and still others spirituality, somatic work, imagery, or art process may resonate... usually it is a combination of several.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, marital/relationship issues, grief, life transitions, career development, mood disorders, and other mental, emotional, and spiritual issues. I am Prepare and Enrich certified to improve relationships.

I have helped clients overcome difficult issues from their past and/or present; find freedom from unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors; and go on to live fuller, more rewarding lives as a result. I believe that professional counseling can help provide psychological and emotional healing, as well as spiritual wholeness. I integrate the best that psychotherapy has to offer with scriptural truths. I offer the support and guidance you'll need to help identify and overcome any harmful beliefs as well as destructive behaviors that may be preventing you from fully experiencing your best life, the life that God intends for you to live.

The first step in becoming a "BETTER YOU" is seeking help and I applaud you for taking this first step on your journey to health and well-being. As a counselor, my role is to listen and equip you with the skills, guidance, and tools you need to live your best life.

I assist clients in living their best life. Life moves in stages and it is possible to function at your highest level despite current challenges. I empower my client to traverse life obstacles while accepting their current life conditions.

People do not look for a counselor when life is going well so if you are reading this bio I imagine that your are experiencing some difficult times, and emotions.
