Counseling for individuals, couples and families with an emphasis on healing and strengthening interpersonal relationships using Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, and Communication theoretical strategies.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (SC 753) with over 30 years of private practice experience. Currently, I am in private practice with offices in both Beaufort and Bluffton, South Carolina. Prior to private practice, I worked in many outpatient clinics and inpatient hospitals which have thoroughly prepared me for the range of psychological issues that individuals face on a day-to-day basis. My therapeutic approach is both personalized and eclectic, designed to tackle the range of life problems that affect all of us in life.

Struggling with anxiety, stress, sleep? Come see me because I can help you, typically in a few sessions. I am the eternal optimist. I love working with couples whether they are simply looking to enrich their relationship or I am their last best hope before the courthouse. Active duty military and their dependents are a very important part of my practice. Specialties include job-related issues, grief, separation/divorce, school issues, and working with clients of all ages from retirees to as young as age 3. Approaches include CBT, Audio-Visual Entrainment, and biofeedback. All insurances and most EAPs welcome.

My approach to therapy……after working as a clinical social worker for over 25 years, I have had the opportunity to work in many different settings with many different types of people. I view therapy as a process that can have a powerful and meaningful impact on your life. Choosing to begin therapy can be one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. By providing you with a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental environment we will work together to find solutions to whatever challenges you are facing.

Currently accepting new clients for adolescents, adults, marriage, and family therapy! Many experience unique emotional challenges that require a special treatment approach.

Learn effective coping skills to reduce depression, fluctuating moods and anxiety, as well as interpersonal issues and poor self-esteem. EMDR for PTSD and trauma based clients.

What is in your way? How can you get past stuck feelings and your personal history to be present and do well today? Your thoughts can become your behaviors. Use logic and truth to see your power and choices. Then, thrive. Behavioral oriented. Cognitive aware, solution oriented.

My coaching philosophy is simple: It's about moving forward . . . without looking behind. We will begin our first session by completing this statement: "I want ____________, but I can't because _____________." As your coach, I will (1) Assess the area(s) preventing you from moving forward (what's got you stuck?); (2) Identify where it is you want to be in life personally and professionally; and (3) Develop a roadmap to get you there.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Supervisor and a Registered Play Therapist/Supervisor with 20 years of experience providing therapeutic services for children, adolescents, families and adults of all ages. I am a highly skilled and compassionate therapist who has served a diverse clientele including at-risk youth, military families, adults struggling with depression and anxiety, domestic violence victims, senior adults, foster children, families experiencing divorce, and more. I believe in tailoring every session to the needs of that unique individual or family. Children, teens and adults of all ages are welcome!

I enjoy working with adults of all ages in individual counseling. I can help you find your way through depression, anxiety, illness, disability, loss, grief and trauma. Counseling will help with any adjustment. Change is difficult whether it is living on your own for the first time, relocating to a new area, making a career move, getting married, getting divorced or retiring. The physical and mental health changes that occur with aging are particularly challenging. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance and want you to feel safe to share and explore your life.

My ideal client is aware of the toll addiction has taken on their life. They may face challenges with substances like alcohol, drugs, or behavioral addictions such as gambling, sex, food, technology or even work. Often, their struggles include co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety or depression. They need a compassionate, non-judgmental environment to address their addiction and underlying emotional complexities. They seek evidence-based, personalized strategies for regaining control, including coping skills for cravings, emotional regulation techniques, and ways to repair relationships affected by addiction.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with four decades of experience as a clinician, researcher, professor, consultant, and senior administrator. I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University and completed the Doctoral Psychology Internship Program in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. I am a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. I am licensed in South Carolina and Virginia and authorized to practice interjurisdictional telepsychology (APIT).

My "ideal client" knows to provide loved ones the very best, he or she must also be at an individual best. Short-changing the "self" depletes the ability to offer abundance to others. Whereas prospering in heart, health, mind, and body lead to connections of premium value. My clients look beyond the ordinary, knowing possibilities are endless and will be found with concerted effort and bravery. Keeping life fresh, free and filled with potential, elevates us all. When my clients depart they have renewed joy and gratitude because they are awakened to the gifts that were once just beyond their reach but now part their life scripts.

Life is constantly changing & pressing on us, leading to stress, and calling for our growth. Rather than looking for acceptance or healing from others, it's important to look inward. This understanding of who we are & how we operate eases stress & peaceful life transitions. Science verifies that changing our thinking, feeling & behaviors improves the quality of our life. I specialize in connecting people deeply with themselves, decreasing suffering from anxiety, depression, family/relational conflict, grief, chronic pain, panic attacks, low self-esteem and work/school burdens.

Attentive help. Because you matter. Do you wish your problems would just go away - that life would get better? Do you feel lost or trapped? Are you angry or just tired of the status quo? Have loved ones behaved badly giving you problems, confusion, or chaos? Maybe you have a few behavioral regrets. You may feel conflicted from within or beset from without, but frustration and turmoil do not have to dominate your life. It can seem overwhelming to talk about your problems to risk ending up feeling unheard and ultimately without much support - or judged. I get all of this. I hear you.

Are you ready to create the life you truly deserve? It's time to heal, reclaim your life, and thrive! If you find yourself overwhelmed with processing feelings such as anxiety, depression, or grief know that you're not alone. Living a life filled with meaning, purpose, and fulfillment can help you thrive emotionally, mentally, and physically, leading to a brighter and healthier future.

“Attachment is another word for disappointment and pain.” Are your relationships a source of elation and devastation but rarely anything in between? Perhaps ‘chaos’ and ‘emotional roller coaster’ define your family, friendships, or marriage? Trusting others is difficult. You feel manipulated or foolish, and your coping mechanisms aren’t working. You tolerate unhealthy behaviors because it hurts less than being abandoned. There is another way. I promise.

In the story of your life, what does the next chapter hold? This continues to be a heavy time for the world emotionally and it can make our coping harder. When death or loss, overwhelming changes and difficulty coping happens, we all need support. These changes can make us fearful or anxious about how our personal story will continue. How do we move forward and make new plans when all we feel is stuck? Do you seek relief from troubling thoughts or behaviors or have repeated struggles with your important relationships?

I have the privilege of working with an array of clients here in our beautiful Lowcountry. I engage in collaborative goal-focused therapy to address symptoms of mood disorder, anxiety and situationally related symptoms. I believe in the strength, wisdom and potential in each of us. I view my clients through the lens of their strengths; we work together to utilize those strengths in realizing positive change. Clients work with me to set goals and to continually assess the effectiveness of the process.

I am a Christian counselor who specializes in Domestic Violence treatment, Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Family Conflicts/Divorce, Bariatric Counseling, and Loss and Grief. I provide clients with extra personalized support between sessions without added cost. I want someone to look at me and say because of you I didn't give up. My personal motto is "Pray without ceasing".
