Therapists in Bluffton, SC

It has been estimated that 3.3 to a reported high of 6 million people suffer from OCD in the US. OCD, in particular, continues to be misdiagnosed and as a result is often treated ineffectively. Using primarily CBT, ACT, E/RP and mindfulness based treatment my goal is to help you manage these debilitating conditions with empirically based strategies, helping you gain the means to get back on the path of your true potential and lead a life that is worth living. We can work together to effectively manage your OCD, anxiety, depression or grief in a way that supports living a life that you value.

Your body is exhausted, and so are you. Would you like compassionate care to heal from disordered eating and/or trauma? As a trained IFS therapist, somatic healer, and yoga practitioner I work in collaboration with individuals to experience the benefits of feeling at ease in one's mind, body, spirit. If you want to engage in therapy with a more holistic approach that includes not just "talking" about your problems but actually FEELING inside better then I encourage you to reach out. Past clients report after working with me a greater sense of connection with themselves and others. Body Trust is a birthright and you are worthy of it.

Welcome! I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaker) Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for working with individuals from different backgrounds to improve mental health. I have experience treating people experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma-related disorders.I'm passionate about mental health because it is fundamental to living a fulfilling and balanced life. Therapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insights into their behavior, and develop coping strategies. It empowers people to address and overcome challenges, leading to personal growth.

With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples I have developed my own unique approach to therapy. I work hard to meet people where they are in their journey of healing. My belief is that this journey is a lifelong process and there is often a time in our lives when people need to speak to someone who can help them process whatever they are experiencing with no judgement.

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?

My ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change in their life, but is struggling to make it happen or doesn’t know what steps to take. I specialize in working with women who are facing challenges with anxiety, depression, stress, postpartum depression/anxiety, fertility issues and grief/loss. I value being a support system for women who might not otherwise have support or women who might be supporting everyone but themselves. I have completed training with Postpartum Support International and enjoy working with women at any stage in life or motherhood.

We can explore your struggles in these areas to get you the clarity you desire, and an action plan for recovery.

For the last 23 years it has been my privilege to assist people in their journey of self exploration.

When was the last time you looked into the mirror and saw your true and whole self? Maybe it’s getting harder to look in the mirror because of the way you look, the way you present yourself, your beliefs, behaviors, thoughts or past-traumas that make you feel less than. I extend to you an invitation to begin walking on your journey to developing self compassion, learning how better to manage stress levels, negative intrusive thoughts, develop positive connections with others and yourself, and find that motivation to live again, as your true and authentic self. Say goodbye to being your biggest bully and embrace your whole self!
