Therapists in Horry County, SC

I work with adults as well as children/teens from age 9-17 years old. I have personal knowledge and experience with individuals in public safety, hospital staff, military, and first responders. I can relate to the stress and strain that type of work causes in your personal and professional life. I am trained in Compassion Fatigue and Burnout (CCFP) that can help you enjoy work and activities again. My experience in that area has transitioned well over to helping others. Depression, anxiety, relationships, communication are all hidden issues when you think it is just being tired or “worn out” from your work.

Do you feel like your mind never turns off and the more you think the less clear things get? Or do you have constant fear and anxiety that prevent you from living life to your fullest?

Once you gain awareness and clarity, the clutter of fear and sadness can clear and steps can be taken to change course.

I specialize in children and adolescents ages 6-18 with a friendly, supportive, safe, and family inclusive approach. Growing up is hard, especially in a world that seems to change by the second. Technology, education, and socialization are radically different from what we knew as young people, so it makes sense that you may feel confused about how to help your child with behavioral, school, self-esteem, identity, or other issues that can drastically impact their development and limit their future potential. If you feel that your child or teen needs that support and would benefit from someone to talk to, please reach out.
