Therapists Beginning With J in South Carolina

True counseling creates a relationship between the client and the counselor; a relationship of mutual respect and trust. With the right counselor this relationship can be life-changing. My approach is unique. My office space is cozy and inviting, just like your very own living room. Also, I believe in being down to earth and straightforward with my clients, and in working with them to bring about true healing.

Let's face it - life is challenging. Taking the first step to reach out and ask for help can be difficult. When we struggle with mental health, relational issues and/or substance use/misuse, it is easy to feel inadequate and wonder if things will ever get better. Although you may have found yourself in patterns that you do not like, you have the power to change them. You have strengths to help you create a life inspired by what's most important to you and deal with life’s challenges in a more effective way.

Being human is complex and brings a plethora of emotions your way. There are highs, lows, twists, and turns. At times the emotion we experience is overwhelming and the natural urge is to resist the feeling, to push it all away. The struggle to resist painful emotions, thoughts, memories, etc. is exhausting. It is through acceptance that a person can begin healing, coping, and growing into their best self. I have experience working with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc., allowing me to help others learn new ways of addressing unwanted emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Life comes with a lot of demands, which can easily lead to increased stress, anxiety, worries, or fears. Feeling overwhelmed can impact you in multiple ways: difficulty with concentration, forgetfulness, confusion, lack of energy/motivation, foggy thinking, or a racing mind. You may be experiencing increased conflict in your relationships. You may have noticed more difficulty at work or school. You may not be able to get tasks done in the same way you used to do. You may be struggling to understand why things feel so different for you recently.

You get to choose who you trust and with whom you feel most comfortable reaching out for that support.

I look forward with my customers to an opportunity to grow and learn through their experiences, assisting at times to extract meaning from their suffering.

You’re the “strong” friend that’s supposed to have it all together. The one that says “fine” when asked how you’re doing, but who is really struggling inside. Underneath your mask is irritability, insecurity, fear, and sadness. Your nerves are getting the best of you, and you can’t sleep because your thoughts or worries keep replaying. No matter how hard you try to forget, your past keeps haunting your thoughts and dreams. Imagine waking up refreshed, confident, and unafraid while expressing your thoughts and feelings in a healthy way. Your relationships and career are strong because you feel safe, hopeful, and good about yourself.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, anger issues, ADHD, and oppositional behaviors through individual and family sessions for people of all ages.

During the human experience, we will have struggles along the way. There are times we don't understand our own actions. We decide to take one approach to solve our problems and find ourselves doing something opposite of what we intended on doing. It is in those moments that we ask ourselves "How did I get here?" As a social worker, I partner with clients to unlock their solutions. Through Individual, group, family or opposite sex couples counseling, we will move towards the life you desire and discover the many different ways to get there.
