Therapists Beginning With G in South Carolina

I am passionate about supporting teen (13+) girls, adult women, and equestrians as they navigate through life’s challenges. The pressure, change, and stress throughout the high school, college, and emerging adulthood years can leave you feeling overwhelmed, having negative impacts on your physical and mental health. My goal is to support and empower you so that you can experience fulfillment and peace as you explore new relationships, life transitions, responsibilities, and ways of being. My clinical focus relates to stress, disordered eating, anxiety, self-worth, relationships, body image, depression, and chronic health challenges.

Does it feel like this? Fear and hopelessness. It keeps you up at night and hijacks your life. Sadness and grieving. Worry and concern are noisy in the background preoccupying your thoughts. It’s scary. It doesn’t feel ok at all… Something has to give. What do you long for? Do you long to feel like this? Empowered. Grounded. Living in the present and feeling connected. Life makes sense and brings joy. There is hope. There’s lots going on but you’re ok.

My journey towards becoming a healer began in 2009 with a vision of creating a safe place that supports the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical health of men and women. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. I offer empowerment and compassion to my clients in effectively navigating life's challenges using a holistic approach to wellness.

I believe that healing and emotional growth are ongoing processes, and that they truly continue throughout our lives. We are constantly breaking, repairing, learning. We are evolving in every moment. At times, however, we find ourselves stuck in the breakage. Unable to find the bend. Paused in the darkness and depth. Whether it is early childhood trauma or a current life situation; an unhealthy attachment or a tragic loss; low self-worth or misguided aggression...with mindfulness, awareness and a deep and connected relationship with a counselor, we can learn to find our way again.

My specialty is counseling mothers and women on the journey to motherhood. Counseling is a safe place where you can talk about the things that worry you. It is a place where you can learn ways to better manage your stress and calm your anxiety. Counseling can help you to feel less alone, more understood, and more mindful so that you can tap into the strength and wisdom within yourself to make the changes you need to better your life. Whatever your concerns or fears I will be glad to gently guide you through.

I bring a comprehensive, holistic approach to healing, integrating all domains of life - from relationship, to spirituality, to work, and beyond - and draw on my own experience of healing in these areas to support your well-being. I have a strong belief in the positive power of change and am passionate about helping you find your strengths and achieve true healing.

Along with the clinical team at Charleston DBT Associates, I offer comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for both adult and adolescent clients. DBT brings together Eastern Mindfulness techniques and Western clinical principles to create behavioral change in a warm therapeutic environment. DBT is the transaction between Zen contemplative practice and behavior therapy, held together with a dialectical philosophy. This dialectical stance works to find what is adaptive in even the most maladaptive behaviors, to assist clients in creating the emotional and behavioral changes needed to build a life worth living.

Taking that first step towards healing and self-improvement can be difficult but you don’t have to take that step alone. As a licensed counselor with over 30 years of experience in mental health, I have the knowledge, experience and insight to walk alongside you. My approach is based on a collaborative relationship as we work together toward healing and meaningful change. I meet clients where they are in life and support them with compassion and empathy. My goal is to provide a safe space, where we can explore root causes of problems and develop a plan for self-awareness that will promote personal growth and positive change.

I understand how intimidating and uncomfortable it can be to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with a stranger. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe, non-judgment space, where you will feel truly heard, validated, and respected. Treatment is a collaborative process, and we will work together as a team to ensure that your therapy is specifically individualized to meet your goals, and receive the tools needed to help you navigate current challenges and be the best possible you.

If you would like to live a happier, healthier life and be in control of your own world, I can help. Helping others with working on solutions to their problems is my goal. The skills that I help others learn so they can live the best life possible are the very skills that are incorporated into my own life and are ones I use on a daily basis. Time spent in session is for learning. Time in between sessions is for practicing skills. We are physically located across from Oscars Restaurant in Summerville.

I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and couples. I am a Savannah native, and have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work and Master of Public Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have over 10 years of social work experience. Previously I served as the Executive Director of the Child and Youth Advocacy Center in Lewisburg, West Virginia, and the South Enotah Child Advocacy Center in Cleveland, Georgia. Most recently, I worked with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as the Director of Training.

Reaching out for help can be difficult and the thought of seeing a therapist can seem intimidating. I believe that with the right therapist, you can express yourself freely without fear of judgement and receive the support you need and desire. No two people's journey and life experiences are the same, so I take an individualized approach with my clients. I love helping clients feel their feelings, address their anxiety and fear of failure, and feel empowered to grow and change habits. I specialize in aiding clients with self-regulation, managing relationship challenges, developing better routines and implementing boundaries.

As a licensed therapist, I work from a Christian perspective integrating faith and positive change. My practice, Hope for the Future Christian Counseling, LLC, is located in Georgetown, SC at 2501 North Fraser Street. I believe we are made in the image of God and that he loves us all. Because of that belief, I take a holistic approach that includes body, mind, and soul; however, I allow the client to set the pace and determine whether or not they want to include faith aspects in our work together. I am trained in EMDR therapy and often integrate emotion focused therapy and attachment therapy in my work.
