Codependency Therapists in Clemson, SC

Are you questioning your self-worth? Feeling like you're not living up to society's expectations? Having difficulty resolving concerns within your relationships? Having difficulty feeling connected emotionally & sexually to your partner? Feeling the need to be a perfectionist? Questioning if you will ever be able to find love & be loved? Feeling that you have current or childhood trauma that you need to overcome? If any of these resonate with you, I am here to provide a safe, confidential space for you to learn empowering ways to have self-confidence, contentment, & bliss. Let's work together to start rewriting a new narrative.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in private practice in the Clemson area for over twenty years. My practice includes adults, adolescents, families, and couples. I work with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, as well as matters related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Fundamental to this is my belief that we are all individuals who affect and are affected by our families, groups of which we are a part, and the larger society. The variety of techniques I employ are all in the service of empowering my clients as they work toward healing.

Let’s be honest…life happens, and when it does we often say things like “everything happens for a reason”, but what if we change that phrase to, “we create meaning from everything that happens to us”? You have the amazing power within to create your own meaning as you step into the journey of healing and strengthening your self-care as you become a more authentic you!

Are you ready to find the resolution and healing that you need so that you can experience the life and relationships that you really want? If so, I am passionate about helping my clients identify and resolve the obstacles that are keeping them from their goals. In a warm, interactive environment, I will help you look at your concerns using multiple perspectives and proven counseling methods. I have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma/abuse recovery, grief, stress, and life transitions. My clients are both individuals and couples, and I love to incorporate faith to the extent that clients' desire.

If you receive an email from me, you’ll see my signature contains a certain phrase: “The best is yet to come." When you hear the phrase “the best is yet to come,” what comes to mind? Some may find themselves humming a tune by Tony Bennett. And if that was before your time, you may simply scoff at the naive hopefulness of the phrase. Then again, you may cry because you’re not sure you believe there are better days ahead. I will hold space and celebrate with you wherever you are. I have seen and known the highs and lows and middles in life, and I have experienced the transformational power of showing up just as you are.

Are you overwhelmed? Stressed out? Struggling to manage? I work with clients who are struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, body image and self harming behaviors. I also see adolescents and adults who are having trouble adjusting, transitioning and managing stress. I believe full recovery is possible for everyone whether it's from an eating disorder or having self-defeating thoughts. Together we will work towards agreed upon goals that meet your needs and help you live at ease with yourself and the world around you.

I believe that life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes people need help navigating through difficult times. If you are struggling, I would love to be the one to help you through this season of your life and provide you with skills that will help you become more resilient and confident. I specialize in treating children and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma and problems with regulating emotions.

We are an energetic team of counselors located in the heart of downtown Clemson. We're excited to offer you a counseling experience that's not only grounded in evidence based techniques but also infused with practical guidance that you can apply to real-life situations. We believe that counseling is a step towards self-discovery, personal empowerment, and yes, even some fun along the way. Counseling isn't about dull moments on a couch. It's about discovering your strengths, embracing change, and building a life you are proud to call your own.

Navigating the rocky terrain of early adulthood can be both amazing and brutal all at the same time. One day you understand why people tell you "these are the best days of your life," and other days, you feel certain your life is moving forward without you. ​​​The average twenty-something experiences a tremendous amount of stress that is often misunderstood by others. As they say, the struggle is real! I work with college students and young professionals who find themselves overwhelmed and thinking in circles. I know how hard you work to keep it all together, maintaining an image of high performance and achievement.

I see you...The person who shows the world that you are “totally ok.” The person who “has it together” by life’s standards, but feels quite differently inside. My message to you is you matter. You are strong. Most importantly…You are enough. It’s not enough to look OK…you deserve to feel OK too! Bottom Line. It's time to hop in the driver's seat of your life and thrive. All it takes is a choice to begin.

Picture a space where your voice isn't just heard but deeply understood and where you feel supported. Life has the ability to feel unexpected and overwhelming sometimes. Suddenly, things can be unclear, and you might find yourself asking, "How did I even get here?" Whether you're grappling with anxiety, navigating rough patches in relationships, or simply feeling a bit lost, therapy can be that guiding light to help you rediscover yourself.

In relationships, it can be difficult to achieve the perfect balance between stability and excitement. Perhaps you feel like your relationship is at a crossroads or has become stagnant. Perhaps you are trying to heal from pain and repair the levels of fairness and trust in your relationship.

Here at Carolina Counseling Professionals, we will work with you to help you develop the strategies you need to get back on the path that leads to happiness and success. Together, we will work to address the issues you are facing so that you can feel confident and ready to take on a new direction in life. We will work closely to analyze what struggles you are facing, their underlying causes, and try to change the behaviors and thought patterns that are keeping you from being the person you want to be. If you're ready to get back on the path that leads to a more fulfilling life, then you've come to the right place.

We are products of our environment, experiences and relationships. Along the way, we have gathered deeply internalized beliefs - some that serve our growth and wellbeing, some that don’t - emotions, both positive and negative, and chronic stress or trauma. All of this has impacted our life and much of what has happened in the past still resides deeply in our body, manifesting as behavioral, relational or emotional struggles, often unexplained and sometimes inexplicable.

I know all too well that finding a therapist who you feel safe with and connected to can be tough. I hope to create a safe place for you to explore, process, and grow! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a Masters degree in Counselor Education, specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with individuals ages 18 and older and have experience helping with anxiety, depression, family and relational concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. I am LGBTQ+ affirming!

Tiger counseling is all about helping people find the courage to change. We are not about making you feel judged or more ashamed. In the process of analyzing your mind, we often encounter discomfort, which is a signal to keep going, never to give up on ourselves. Good therapeutic work is often messy in my experience, usually accompanied by tears and laughter (often in the same session, but no guarantees). I especially encourage you to reach out if you have tried therapy before and found it less than helpful. I assure you my approach is unique, my style has been described as unorthodox. I love that and I love the people I serve!

Thank you for reading! I am focused on helping individuals pursue wholeness and address roadblocks to flourishing. Every person has the capacity to heal and I am committed to supporting this process.

If you are struggling with a known issue like depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, relational discord, or, if life just seems to be not optimal, counseling can help! I specialize in issues related to Complex PTSD, Dissociative Disorders and Trauma.
