Therapists in South Carolina

My 50 years of experience in the behavioral change and personal growth and potential field has afforded many experiences in many facilities, currently a private practice setting. My therapeutic approach is multifaceted, focused on solutions. Psychophysiology is another area of emphasis for me and I address this with Biofeedback, Neurofeedback and Passive Infrared Hemoencephalogrophy, procedures effective for anxiety, stress mangaement, chronic pain, ADD, and optimal performance.

You've been struggling long enough with persistent, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors. You tell yourself, "If only I could focus more, get more organized, and get my act together..." You feel like it used to be manageable. Still, now your lack of focus, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are getting in the way of your work, relationships, friendships, school, and other responsibilities—And you are no longer able to navigate these challenges.

In addition to the general forms of therapy I do that are listed on this site, I also use many techniques that are considered "out of the box." I feel that you deserve to benefit from any technique or intervention that I can provide for you or teach you, even if they are not frequently used by many therapists. Through my wide variety of experiences in the counseling profession, I have been able to determine which of these strategies are the most effective in particular situations. I am most interested in helping you become the best version of yourself.

Why me? Why did/do I have to experience ____, be born with _____, and ultimately live with _____???? You've probably tried everything you know; positivity, praying, ignoring or burying the feelings, talking about the experience, maladaptive behaviors (shopping, sex, substances, ANYTHING to keep your mind off of what is), and you may have even tried therapy. Either way, you're here now which means something in you believes it is time and you are ready for positive change. You decide the destination or goal and I walk alongside you on the journey. Through reiki and/or therapy, we can get where you want to be. Healthy..why NOT you?

The most important thing I convey to clients is "you don't have to live like this". You don't have to just "deal" with the constant nagging doubt of OCD. You don't have to abide the nonstop pressure of anxiety. You don't have to put up with the flashbacks and hyper-vigilance of trauma. No matter how the pain of OCD, anxiety and/or trauma is affecting you, there are ways to fight back, survive and excel. While I am most passionate about OCD, anxiety and trauma, I also work with depression, attachment disorders, codependency, relationship, and family issues.

You're on autopilot and struggling to maintain the kind of relationships you want. You are facing challenges with a partner, parent, sibling, child, or friend. You recognize you have unmet needs from your childhood or past relationships and it has created dysfunctional relationship patterns. You feel your emotions bubbling on the surface because all you want in life is to be happy. You're exhausted because you invested so much time, and energy communicating to be left feeling rejected. You have been told you communicate too much, or not enough. Your boundaries are violated and you feel this is never-ending.

I believe that healing and emotional growth are ongoing processes, and that they truly continue throughout our lives. We are constantly breaking, repairing, learning. We are evolving in every moment. At times, however, we find ourselves stuck in the breakage. Unable to find the bend. Paused in the darkness and depth. Whether it is early childhood trauma or a current life situation; an unhealthy attachment or a tragic loss; low self-worth or misguided aggression...with mindfulness, awareness and a deep and connected relationship with a counselor, we can learn to find our way again.
