Therapists in Bennettsville, SC

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.
