Therapists in South Carolina

My goal as a therapist/counselor is to help you clarify ways that your life can be more fulfilling and content. It is often difficult for us to sort out solutions to issues that on the surface seem simple, but in real life can be crippling, disorienting and sources of conflict.

My first mentor in the field of counseling told me, “You can't take anyone to where you've never been.” This sage advice has stayed with me for the 30-plus years that I have had the privilege of operating in this profession. These words have encouraged me to continue my own journey of self-exploration and healing and then, in turn, helped me to be more equipped to offer and support in the healing relationships that I have been privileged to play a role in over the years. Children, adolescents, and families have been a particular area of focus and expertise for me. From working in traditional outpatient settings to inpatient settings

You haven't felt good for awhile now, something's not quite right. People around you think you're a rock star but inside you feel like a complete impostor. The negative self-talk has gotten so loud inside of your head that you are mentally and physically exhausted. Putting on a happy face for others while inside your head feels like it is about to explode. You wish you could make changes but you are not sure how. Somewhere along the line, you lost your joy and you have lost your voice, you have lost yourself. You are not happy in your relationships. You are afraid to speak your truth. You are aching to feel good again.

Hello there! I specialize in assisting individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, guiding them in establishing healthy boundaries, expressing their needs effectively, and cultivating self-assurance.

For many years I have enjoyed offering individual, couple, family, and group therapy to clients working on depth issues to achieve intrapsychic and behavioral change as well as improved relationships with others. The goal is not only resolution of relationship, behavioral, and emotional distress, but also discovery of personal meaning in life. Relationship counseling includes relationship to self as well as to others. Couples counseling includes coupling at all stages and with all types of couples. My counseling theory of practice is based primarily in family systems, experiential, and client centered counseling concepts. See www.watereecounseling.com

You don’t want to get divorced, but this life won’t do either. You love your partner. You really do. BUT …You crave more inside jokes and fewer misunderstandings. You miss warm hugs instead of the cold shoulder. You’re ready to tally each others’ celebrations, not criticisms. Hell, you’d settle for remembering why you liked each other at the start. I laughed at an instagram reel that said, “why were they teaching me square-dancing and how to play ‘Hot Cross Buns’ on the recorder when they should’ve been teaching me how to do my taxes?” and honestly same …but also…couldn’t they have added one little class about healthy relationships?

I am NOW accepting NEW clients. Perhaps you have thought about counseling, but you aren't sure how to begin.

I want you to experience the difference that a caring counselor can make in your life!

Have you and your partner lost your spark? In the beginning, you felt seen and heard. Now, you find yourselves in a pattern of negativity, blocked communication, and disconnection. You wonder…Will my partner and I ever reconnect emotionally and/or physically? You want to feel closeness again but fear and doubt weigh heavily on your heart and mind. Couples therapy is a safe space to strengthen your communication, embrace vulnerability together, and rediscover deep connection no matter the season (dating, premarital, marital, second marriage) or constellation (traditional, open, LGTBQ, secular, religious) of your relationship.

The people I see tend to have one thing in common. Suffering. This suffering can present itself as depression, anxiety, mood swings, and addiction, all of which negatively impact our lives and the lives of those around us. One thing these issues have in common are feelings and emotions. What would your life look like if emotions like dread, sadness, anxiety, or anger were not controlling you? My goal is to help you learn to get control of your mind and emotions so that you can build the life that you want for yourself.
