Therapists in Greer, SC

Immediately accepting new clients! Maybe your style of constant mental noise is to second guess every interaction you have. “Why did I say that?" or “I should have done...” Maybe your style is a habit you’re acting out and wish you could change. Call it anxiety, stress, depression, etc. Regulating our emotions and forming healthier connections is possible. Our conditioning gets in the way of us relating to each other and manifests in unhelpful behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes. Awareness can help us unhook from conditioning that leads us into unwanted patterns. I utilize mindfulness and somatic therapy to help achieve your goals.

I specialize in treating pre-adolescents, adolescents, and men dealing with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, ODD, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, anger struggles, emotional dysregulation, and poor peer relationships. I also work a great deal doing parental consultation to help parents build coherent parenting plans, change systemic cycles, lead behavior change, and repair parent-child relationships.

I am passionate about helping clients struggling with issues related to self, self-identity, and relational distress. These issues typically manifest themselves in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. It is my goal to partner with my clients to create an environment in which they feel safe, accepted, unjudged, and free to explore themselves and what they are experiencing. I have worked with adolescents ranging in age from 8 to 18 years, young adults, and middle-aged adults. I have experience working with people from a wide array of beliefs, values, and ethnic backgrounds.

Immediately accepting new clients! My counseling approach is largely based on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance/Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have interests specifically in the areas of grief & loss, marriage & couples’ relational issues, and family of origin issues. I see my role as a counselor as a partner who works with the client to process feelings, find healing, and regain hope. I believe that each client can navigate the challenges & the changes life brings and am committed to helping my clients work toward achieving symptom reduction, more self-awareness, & increased confidence.

You're here, and I'm so glad that you came. This step is monumental in supporting your well-being. If you are seeking a lighthouse amidst the storm, please know that you are in a safe place. You may be looking for your voice after feeling silenced. Or you may be trying to find ways to empower yourself. You may have come here after a loss of a relationship; or to learn about a new mental health diagnosis. There are limitless reasons, and all are valid. You are important and are deserving of support. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, panic, and/or depression, I'd like for you to reach your personalized mental health goals.

Life is not predictable. Relationships and circumstances change, causing emotional responses which are activated by stress or a feeling of being overwhelmed. Therapy acts as a holding space for those emotional experiences which are sometimes difficult to share. Therapy is a tool that can be used to assist in overcoming or understanding obstacles to growth. I want to share in these emotional experiences with you and offer support and guidance while you navigate through life's transitions.

Being able to help others has always been a passion of mine. My educational and professional experience has allowed me to create a broad variety of specialties. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Central Florida in 2004. During my stay, I was able to work with specialty organizations that focused on equality and activism for groups such as LGBTQ+, military support, and women's rights. The following year, I was able to dive deeper into the complexities of systems theory while at Nova Southeastern University.

Hello! So glad you decided to stop by! Let me tell you some about myself. I am passionate about working with children and teens of all ages. In therapy we can talk, play games, draw/color, and find fun and creative ways to navigate your mental health! My top priority is to create a fun, safe, and healing environment for you to voice your concerns. I have experience working with individuals ages 5-20 in consideration to a host of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem/ self-image issues, and life transitions.

The process of change requires us to start somewhere, and it is our very first steps that consequentially reveal our true strength and ability to invest in ourselves, our well-being, and find meaning in our lives. I work with adolescent and adult clients and have been so fortunate to discover my true passion for trauma-focused care and my eclectic, authentic style. As a firm believer in the significance of both our past and present experiences, I integrate evidence-based, universal practices to promote increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and optimal self-growth. Come as you are; nothing more, and nothing less!

You want exceptional therapy that will actually help you get the results you've been searching for. You want to heal from your past and see positive changes in your life and in your relationships. You want to feel whole, worthy, and secure and you're looking for a highly skilled therapist who can help you get there.

Our childhood wounds don’t just go away. They shape the way our nervous system responds to stress, the way we seek connection, & the meaning we make of our experiences. Many people don’t even realize how much their past affects them, especially if they never suffered any horrific trauma. But let me tell you what you may notice instead. Your heart and mind races for no reason at all. You react defensively rather than responding calmly. You keep thinking about what you “should” do rather than what you NEED. You work so hard but still feel empty. It’s never enough.

Children who may have experienced trauma through abuses, separations, losses or are having trouble adjusting to life now. Assisting clients, caretakers/families with expressing the emotions and thoughts underneath strained relations and stressors, moving towards positive interactions. I encourage self-awareness to improve self confidence thereby promoting growth and empowerment.

I continue to feel privileged when individuals and couples allow me to assist in achieving their desired goals. Seeking support often feels so vulnerable and overwhelming. I strive to create a safe space for exploring your experiences. I thrive on teaching my patients lasting problem solving skills. Frame of Mind Psychiatry, LLP emphasizes that patients are of utmost importance. Patients deserve to be heard, yet often patients report being "Dismissed by trusted providers." We exist to change that! Patient satisfaction is non-negotiable; it's important to discover if I am a good fit for your clinical goals.

Have you noticed your child struggling with day to day life? Have they had any major or minor life changes that could be causing disruption or distress? The weight of anxiety, depression, divorce, etc. can be heavy for such small shoulders. I believe that children are both our most vulnerable members of the population and deserve to have their emotional needs met. Children are our greatest hope for the future. The work can start now to build a healthy life.

Do you feel stuck and ready to make a change? I believe you intrinsically know what you need and want to flourish in the life you were given, even if life circumstances have dulled your instincts. As your counselor, I am committed to guiding you back towards the deeply rooted instincts you once had –or you’ve always wanted to express. My approach to counseling is present and future focused, so that together we can strengthen and equip you to reach your fullest potential.

I am currently accepting clients on my waitlist for remote therapy; I am certified in EMDR and my practice focuses on specializing in it. Much of my experience is in helping clients move forward after trauma.
