Therapists in Andrews, SC

I have been a counselor for over 20 years and have worked with a variety of age groups who suffered from a wide spectrum of mental health concerns from mild depression to serious mental illnesses. I am EMDR trained and have experience working with clients that have experienced severe trauma. I have treated clients with EMDR using the online platform and have had great results. My other passion is teaching clients how to identify the indicators that they may be victims of manipulation by a narcissist, also known as gaslighting. My counseling style is interactive, informal, and solution focused. I'm also a big proponent of the cognitive-behavioral model by targeting each clients unique needs. My focus is to empower clients to get better. I look forward to working with you!

My approach centers on helping my clients gain insight into unwanted thoughts and behaviors utilizing a collaborative approach. My goal is to create a peaceful and safe place for my clients to explore past and present stressors that contribute to difficulty in their emotional and behavioral functioning. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Coastal Carolina University in 2011 and my Masters Degree in Applied Clinical Psychology in 2014. I am a LPC & Certified Health Coach through ACE Fitness. I have worked across multiple domains including private practice & agency settings working with diverse populations including children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals. I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Together these techniques allow my clients to cope and heal from past issues and trauma while simultaneously processing through current stressors & issues. I rely heavily on helping my clients become the expert of their lives and their healing; providing an empathetic and healing experience in which their feelings are validated, and they are able to explore experiences and feelings that have been previously internalized. I want my clients to find peace within their lives.

I am a therapist that genuinely hopes the best for my clients and works to reach treatment expectations as determined by my clients. My experiences in life have provided insight to the struggles and difficulties life presents. I am a Generation Xer having been born in 1966. Most of my formative years were spent in Ohio. My family moved to South Carolina right as I entered into high school. Sports has played an important role in my life. My hopes of getting into recreation management was redirected in college. I discovered the Family Therapy course offered one semester in college and enrolled. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. So, that lead me into the pursuit of becoming a psychotherapist. The path of obtaining higher education and licensure as a professional counselor took me to Texas. I received my initial training through a seminary my grandfather attended in the early 1920s. In 1989, I married and moved to Texas to follow my dream. The training I received has served me well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the modality of choice for me in my practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy puts the emphasis on thoughts that lead to feelings which in turn manifest in our behaviors. Aiming to address the way we think and correct it can significantly impact lasting change to behaviors. I feel strongly about connecting with my clients and working toward a therapeutic alliance. Doing my best to give clients information, encouragement has been a successful formula in my practice.
