Therapists in Spartanburg, SC

After 20 years in practice, I have seen the number of individuals, couples, and families seeking Transgender-supportive therapy grow so immensely that I determined to make this area of need my priority. With clients dealing with Trans* issues, I address concerns such as internalized and cultural Transphobia, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relational challenges. I provide narrative-based gender therapy for clients struggling with gender dysphoria. Clients seeking referrals for cross-sex hormone treatment and gender-confirming surgery are connected to medical colleagues of mine. I also assist with supportive networking and with navigation through the legal process of transition.

So often we have a desire to find someone who will truly listen to us, who can understand the challenges we face without judgment. We may need help to discover and set priorities to move forward and motivate us to live life more courageously. If you feel stuck or stagnant, experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, trauma, or grief, I would consider it an honor to partner with you in the process of healing, growth, and redirection. When we find the courage to speak out loud or express ourselves through creative means, we gain fresh insight that can lead to positive change and a healthier, more authentic way of life.

You’ve done well over the years to keep your work and personal life separate, but suddenly you find yourself distracted with all that's happening in your life. You notice that you're quick to react and short-tempered much of the day, and being home is often chaotic and overwhelming. Your emotions aren’t so ‘perfectly’ concealed anymore like they once were. Sometimes you feel disappointment and guilt when you think about how much easier it is at work than being home—at least you are respected and appreciated there. You've honestly tried to make everyone happy, but it never seems like enough. You just want to fix it all.

I believe every person holds within them the skills necessary to achieve the life they want. It is my job as a therapist to help you tap into those skills.
