Therapists in Spartanburg, SC

We don’t live in a society that allows you to be who you are. Editing conversations, holding back, closing yourself off to people because you don’t know if they’ll accept who you really are. The stakes are so high, so much to lose, that you’d rather suffer in silence than risk abandonment.

Hi! I specialize in the treatment and recovery of trauma and traumatic relationships. I have extensive experience working with victims of difficult and traumatic childhoods and/or difficult narcissistic partners.
