Therapists in Pickens County, SC

We all have difficult times in our lives, and our reactions and thoughts can lead to or exacerbate anxiety, depression, and other unhealthy disorders. I work with ages 12 and up, and I help people process experiences using cognitive behavioral therapy to recover from trauma, the above listed disorders, and various other issues that affect the quality of our lives. It's not so much about negative experiences we have as it is about our thoughts about these experiences. Learning to reframe, set boundaries, and change how we perceive situations will help us reduce or remove negative emotions so we can live full and happy lives.

When people ask what I do as a counselor, I tell them I turn people's lights on. That gets some rather curious looks—but then I explain everyone has an inner light, the potential to shine from within. Some of us, though, we need to discover how to turn our light on. So, I help my clients discover that critical most important part of themselves. They discover purpose and passion, the things that drive inner happiness and provide renewing energy and optimism. And although for some there are obstacles—stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, other people—we work through each to develop a mindset of inner strength and vision.
