Veterans Therapists in North Augusta, SC

My goal is to empower my clients to recognize their own inner strengths, and make the best decisions they can in any situation.

Seeking therapy can be difficult, and it can be hard to talk about issues with debilitating symptoms. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker, my goal is to meet you where you are, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and develop treatment plans that are specific to you as an individual. I work with adults (17+) who have anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, chronic pain and illnesses, grief, suicidal thoughts and self harm, and with military and veteran populations. If you are struggling, I want to assist and support you in reaching your treatment goals.

Are you having problems managing stress, anxiety, depression, or have a behavioral health problem that you are unsure how to manage? My therapeutic approach is simple. I first focus on identifying what the problem is. Then helping you build resilience and improve coping skills. I’m a retiree of the US Army and US Public Health Service with 25 years of experience working with active duty military, police, emergency responders and helping those that have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, mood instability or unmanageable anger. I provide a safe, affordable, therapeutic method of managing whatever problem you are facing.

Brené Brown said it best in her statement, “I believe that you have to walk through vulnerability to get to courage, therefore ... embrace the suck." However, you don’t have to do it alone. And it doesn’t have to suck all the time. When you develop a relationship with a caring, attuned therapist you will find new ways to solve problems, heal old wounds, and change the way you live your life. I am here to help you identify existing strengths, as well as introduce you to new strategies for managing your mental wellbeing. You’ll find it takes less time to get noticeable relief than what you think. And we’ll laugh a lot.

I recognize the importance of being able to share your thoughts, feelings, & emotions without being judged. I’m a firm believer in what a person thinks, affects the way they feel, which ultimately affects the way they act. So my goal is to work with my clients to help them become the best version of themselves at their own pace.

Is your partner’s pornography addiction, infidelity, or sexual compulsivity destroying your relationship? Are you ready for change but not sure where to begin? Are you an abuse survivor and feel that you’re living the same story over again? Do you feel there’s something wrong with you or do you deny there’s a problem yet the heartache keeps you up at night? Are you tired of feeling like your partner’s sexual acting out is your fault, feeling inadequate, fighting the same battles, or hoping for change? The path ahead may seem overwhelming but there is hope to heal from past trauma and break the current cycle of betrayal trauma.

Trauma impacts our relationships. It's that simple. If your sexual assault makes it hard to be touched, if events from your childhood leave you afraid to trust, if the way your ex treated you is ruining things for you now: you're experiencing that impact. It may feel like a lot, but having the type of relationships you want (laugh 'til you cry, hot sex, deep emotional connection, whatever!) is totally achievable. You don't have to feel embarrassed by what you've gone through or scared to speak it out loud. Vulnerability, authenticity, and healthy connection are waiting for you and you don't have to find them on your own.

There is hope. You don't have to continue living with constant stress, depression, or anxiety. Your relationship does not have to remain unfulfilling or even toxic. You can regain the balance you need to thrive. And what's even better...you don't have to do it on your own. Let me help you find your voice and own your power. Everybody hurts...sometimes. It does not have to be forever.

At times, trauma can get us locked in painful patterns of interacting with others or responding to our environment. Whether we are re-living pain and hurt in our relationships or reacting to triggers around us in ways that no longer serve us, the results can leave us depressed, chronically stressed, and exhausted. Living an authentic life that includes joy and fulfillment does not have to be a fantasy. Therapy can help you gain some clarity about your struggles and give you the tools you need to make transformational changes.
