Therapists in Greenville, SC

I believe each person possesses the wisdom and resilience needed to be successful in therapy. My job is to help you connect the threads of your story in a way that shines light on what needs to change, and to suggest evidence-based steps to make those changes. I’ll ask good questions, listen fully and offer tangible ways to meet your goals.

I got into therapy so I could help people end the cycles detracting from their fullest potential in life. So many of us plug through the day with nasty negative thoughts about ourselves, leaving us drained of energy and an incapacity to be mindful and present with each other. Using EMDR, mindfulness, and a heavy dose of humanity and empathy, I help my clients obtain the changes they seek in order to be the best versions of themselves. My style is thoughtful, witty, intentional, and comfortable and I'm always happy to help those who are ready to help themselves grow!

Imagine the best life you could ever have. What’s stopping you? You deserve to live a life filled with excitement and joy each day. Often, the obstacles we face can seem insurmountable, whether they are external or internal struggles. It could be fear, self-doubt, past experiences, or current circumstances that are holding you back. Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, I want to help you. Imagine if you could overcome your self-doubt and fear. Think about how great life would be if your past didn't consume you. Envision how happy you could be in your life. Let me help you obtain it.

Life is difficult and unpredictable. It is often filled with pain and suffering which can leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. Perhaps, this describes you. In your life, maybe recently or long ago, you’ve experienced loss, trauma, unfulfilling relationships, disappointment in yourself or others, accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. And perhaps, you’ve tried to talk to someone about your struggles, but you felt it was too much for that person to hear or for you to share at that time. Then again, maybe you’ve never spoken to anyone about the burden you carry which has inflated your feelings of loneliness.

You have a list of things to do each day, but you are barely getting one task crossed off. You’re finding it difficult to get your day started. No one in your circle seems to understand your struggle OR you're trying your best to keep it all together. Maybe you feel hopeless, confused, resentful, telling yourself “I miss who I used to be before marriage and the kids”. Maybe you are thinking who you are and what you do is just never good enough. You could even be questioning constantly “is everyone else’s kids this difficult and defiant”?

I work with men and women of various ages to look at life's big questions, including identity, purpose, and how you fit into the world. You are looking for someone who can help guide you towards answers, and not just the answers that others have decided on for you. You want to find a path that feels authentic and life-affirming. Whether it's feelings of anxiety, sadness, or grief, we can look at these things together and build a new understanding of who you are, and who you can be.

Sometimes, it's overwhelming trying to 'keep up' or 'fix' things on your own. Maybe you don't know exactly what you need, but you know you want to feel better. There may be things from your past that you have tried to move past, but they just keep creeping up again. I strive to come alongside individuals and families of all ages to help them overcome challenges, find meaning and joy in life, experience renewed strength, find true hope, and become mentally and emotionally healthy individuals. My core methods are evidence based and I keep a wholistic perspective- recognizing people as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings.

I help individual adults and couples to navigate relationships, explore emotions, and gain freedom from past wounds. I focus on the therapeutic relationship and the present-moment in the counseling room. I collaborate with you to process your experience, your family system, and interactions with other people in your life. I enjoy working with counselors, pastors, and other ministry workers.

Are you looking to make meaningful, permanent changes in your life with things that matter: Developing deep, trusting relationships, overcoming self-defeating patterns and past trauma, finding meaning in your life? In my practice I focus on creating deep insight and long-lasting change. My method - psychodynamic therapy - typically lasts between 6 months to 2 years. It is a complex, time-proven treatment method that makes profound, enduring change in your life. Studies show that psychodynamic therapy is not only as effective as other therapies, but that unlike other therapies, you continue to improve, even years after therapy ends.

My work is shaped by my training and experience. I specialize in adults and adolescents/pre-teens who suffer with OCD and anxiety disorders such as panic attacks, hair pulling, skin picking, general/social anxiety, agoraphobia, and other phobias. While OCD/anxiety is my primary specialty, it often occurs with other issues such as depression, life changes/transitions, like divorce, pregnancy, work or school, all of which can be difficult to face without help. When we suffer from anxiety based issues, we can often miss or lose the joy that is present in our lives. I am here to help you get your life back from the grips of OCD/anxiety.

Life can be very hard, and we could all benefit from some help along the way. Ironically, it is navigating the most difficult parts of the journey that often invests life with the deepest sense of meaning and direction. Try as we may, we cannot do this well alone. It is my passion to partner with adolescents, adults, and couples (see specialties below) to foster a deeper understanding of challenging issues, resolve conflict, restore connection, clarify goals, create healthy life rhythms, and move towards change. Wherever you are on your journey, it would be my privilege to meet you there and walk alongside you in a helpful way.

The couples I work with are struggling. At first glance they may seem fine – smiling and happy – but they cannot stop arguing. They know they love their person but they feel so stuck. It HURTS. They long to feel understood, to know that their person is “with them”, and they want to know they are not alone. They want to find a way to make their relationship work but they don’t know where to start.
