ADHD Therapists in Piedmont, SC

Ever heard that TikTok sound, “It was never a phase, mom!” Sometimes struggles in life are a phase… but, not everything IS just a “phase” for us all… it can be a lifestyle; & not in the fun or good way. And sometimes parents & friends can be the hardest people to talk to- no matter how much you love them & respect them. I believe one of my strongest skills I will bring to the table as your counselor is my ability to relate to the clients that I work with. I'm 30 & I don’t have kids. While that might make some unsure, I assure you I'm able to offer a unique perspective as clients have expressed this after seeing "older" counselors.

Everyone seeks change but often changing is hard to do alone. Let me help you light your path to wellness. Counseling can help a variety of problems and issues that can often be treated in a short time.

Are you tired of going through life stressors alone? Are you looking for a safe, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment where you can heal from emotional distress, low self-esteem, depression, addiction; trauma and anxiety? Maybe life has thrown you some unexpected challenges that you weren’t equipped to handle. Life events can leave you feeling, stuck, alone and hopeless if you don’t have the right coping skills. Do you want to learn how to have more control in your life? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you're in the right place. My mission is to promote growth, healing and change.

My current office is located in the Piedmont area off of hwy 153. I want to help anyone who is motivated and driven to help their selves and improve their well-being. Whether someone is scared, confused, angry, or frustrated, if someone has sincere drive and motivation to work then they can be successful. If someone puts forth the willingness and motivation to work with me I will reciprocate that effort, because I want people to reach their full potential and enhance their quality of life.

Are you in a season of life that is falling short of your expectations? Are you struggling to find your next step or purpose in life? Are the relationships in your life causing more pain than joy? Feeling anxious and don’t know why? These are all things I would love to help you navigate to find freedom and solutions in your life. Life is full of many fun, exciting and joyful moments. It is also full of many hard seasons, and it can be difficult to navigate those seasons on your own.

My goal is to come alongside you and help you in your journey. I believe we all go through tough times and as a therapist I offer a judgement free space for you to talk about what you are experiencing. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, unhealthy thinking, addiction or just need a safe place to talk and feel heard I want to be an experienced and reliable resource for you. I want you to know there is hope and you are not alone. We will work together to find the best treatment approach that is specific to your needs.

Life can be really challenging. My goal is to help you meet those challenges in a way that aligns with your values, goals, and life experiences. I have a wide range of experience, working with clients of varying ages and backgrounds, and find everyone’s story interesting and compelling. The majority of my work consists of helping clients with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, conflict, and life and career transitions. I also enjoy working with relational issues, pre-marital, marital, and family counseling as well.

My hope is that regardless of the challenges that compel you to walk through the counseling door, you will leave knowing that you have an advocate, an ally, and an expert with clinical insight to help you identify the necessary tools to get you where you want to go.
