Divorce Therapists in Sullivans Island, SC

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides consultation and treatment services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Areas of focus include anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, behavior management, and social skills training. I also provide individual therapy services to adults experience significant symptoms of anxiety. Additionally, I provide specialized services for families going through a divorce or separation, both through therapy services for children and co-parenting services to help parents by enhancing communication and laying the foundation for a healthier relationship after the divorce.

The focus of my counseling is on families.

As a 20 year veteran teacher, I am also uniquely qualified to help families struggling with ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, or other educational issues.

In our busy and stress filled days, the intense feelings generated by everyday life, childhood neglect or abuse, life transitions, separation/divorce and loss of a loved one often turn our busy world upside down. It is in the midst of these life events I have found my calling and work. You are not alone! Many others have journeyed the path of anxiety, despair, fear, loneliness and, yes depression to a place of hope and freedom and joy.

After any stressful or distressing event such as being diagnosed with a chronic illness, losing a loved one, or going through a divorce, life as we know it changes instantly. The life we once knew, or dreamed about, is suddenly shattered, which can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or downright hopeless. Although we may find ourselves on a new life journey, one we didn’t ask for by the way, who says this new path can’t be a path worth walking down? If we can accept this possibility then we open the door for hope and a new reality that can hold space for both pain and happiness, sorrow and joy, anxiety and peace.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them find greater fulfillment within the various aspects of their lives, whether it's their sense of self, interpersonal relationships, or professional life. A strong therapeutic relationship has the ability to heal, to empower, and to initiate lasting change. It can help guide you through life's challenges so that you emerge stronger and wiser. I work with adults, couples and adolescents, many of whom seek therapy simply because they are feeling "stressed out" or "not as happy" as they'd like, while others may be experiencing more significant symptoms of depression and anxiety.

With 25+ years of success as a versatile, supportive clinical psychologist, it is my joy to now focus on working with the midlife woman. She is often encountering life experiences that impact her mental health including: physical changes, empty nest, job changes, gray divorce, retirement or caring for aging parents or children. I am passionate about supporting women who are experiencing the loneliness and isolation of living in a toxic relationship or healing from one. Also, I am fervent about helping individuals journey through life transitions, loss and grief. Midlife can be a time of awakening, new possibilities and empowerment.

I work with Adults, Young Adults, Adolescents and Couples on a wide range of issues and difficulties. Some specific interests include anxiety and depression, self -esteem, trauma, regulating emotions, relationship and communication problems, divorce, life transitions, grief, and parenting issues. I value a collaborative environment to develop new insights and strategies to manage stressors, process emotions, enhance strengths and implement effective life changes. Difficulties processing emotions and a lack of coping skills can keep people feeling 'stuck' and be a barrier to experiencing growth and joy in life.
