Teletherapy for South Carolina

Looking for brief therapy to work through a specific issue that you've not been able to resolve on your own or with other therapists? EMDR and Brainspotting are therapies for processing disturbing memories, thoughts, feelings and greatly reduce the number of sessions needed. People often find relief from the intensity of chronic pain, physical discomfort, and compulsive or addictive behaviors. It is used to help people lower their anxiety, process trauma and improve confidence. If you are looking to resolving negative thoughts, feelings and sensations in the body, contact me to schedule an appointment.

In my tenure as a mental health professional I have served diverse populations in multiple settings to include: school-based, residential, community mental health and higher-education environments. Proficient in four languages (Ukrainian, Russian, French, and English), I provide culturally competent and trauma-informed clinical services to help people from all walks of life obtain access to mental health services. As a strong generalist, my therapeutic interests include a range of mental health issues and complications in individuals, couples, and families. As a trauma specialist, I hope to make the world as safer place for all.

Is your answer always "yes" even when your heart, body, and soul are saying "no"? Do you struggle to reconcile your faith with your mental health challenges? Do you crave a safe place that you can simply take the cape off and breathe? Does representation matter? If so, I've got you.

Life is difficult and requires constant change, adjustment, and resilience. We need support at times.

When we are unwell, it touches every part of our lives. I see therapy as an opportunity to build awareness of yourself, connect with what is happening internally in the presence of another, and begin implementing change.

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.

My philosophy is simple: we are all already whole. No one is “broken”, so there is nothing to “fix”. We each have what we need inside to heal. My goal is to help you access your own innate wisdom to heal your past wounding and establish the mental and emotional wellness so you can live your life fully in the here and now. I am passionate about working with motivated clients from all walks of life towards healing from trauma and life's stressors, and alleviating the experience of depression, anxiety, and suffering that stem from them.
