Find a Therapist in Myrtle Beach, SC

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a collaborative partnership where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, while also creating space for honest conversations and meaningful self-reflection. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia, and I specialize in helping individuals understand their attachment styles and relationship patterns, particularly how past experiences in romantic relationships, family dynamics, and learned beliefs influence the way they connect with themselves and others. Whether you're navigating relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or recurring patterns in dating and relationships, we'll work together to explore what may be contributing to these challenges. My goal is to help you move beyond simply recognizing your patterns to understanding where they come from and developing healthier ways of responding. Together, we'll work toward greater emotional awareness, stronger boundaries, improved communication, and more secure, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

As someone who lives with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and comes from 25+ years of working in corporate America, I understand how a heightened, stressed, and overstimulated environment effects the mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, I practice from an integrated holistic viewpoint to help align these three dimensions of the individual. My therapeutic approach to counseling is person-centered therapy (Rogerian) with beliefs rooted in psychodynamic theory (Eriksonian & Adlerian). Depending on the needs of the client, I will integrate other therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative, and somatic therapy.

Effective treatment inspires measurable positive change. My approach to therapy is to provide empirically-based interventions in a warm, collaborative and transparent manner. I also teach mindfulness and behavior change strategies to promote psychological flexibility and therefore overall well-being. Our practice offers a fully adherent DBT program for adolescents, families and adults wanting to improve interpersonal skills as well as distress tolerance skills and emotion regulation skills.

My approach is an intuitive one; I tend to start where the client is and go from there. I have thirty years of education on various therapy modalities, and bits of all these emerge as I’m working with an individual. Whether you’re coming for some deep soul searching to evolve to your best self, or are in the depths of the most shattering upheaval, I’ll gratefully walk beside you and guide you toward the next steps. I believe you have the answers inside you. I’m a natural listener, and extremely curious about the world around me and all its beautiful inhabitants.

If I could say one to couples who are considering therapy, don't wait. If your patterns are uncomfortable, painful, and unsuccessful enough to be here browsing, it's time to do something different. Relational patterns have low points, and then a "feeling better" period, and then the dip again. Let's change that cycle and do something different. Together we will identify the pattern, the highs and lows, and why they are happening to take away the power the cycle has over you both. We will work on learning to find the words to clearly express yourself so your partner can finally understand, enhance listening skills, learn to better support one another, reduce defensive responses and actions, develop conflict resolution, and learn how to really apologize and repair any ruptures. For those who have gotten to the point that they have considered separationdivorce, I offer Discernment Counseling. This helps to decide if you want to and are ready to lean in and work on couple's therapy. You can learn more about how this service works on my website. We can work together in couple sessions, or individually on your own goals. We can focus on the present pattern and include the past that can sneak in and influence behavior without you even knowing it. I am formally trained in several impactful modalities, including spiritual interventions if you feel that integration is meaningful to you. The counseling process is a collaboration with you to find what works for your best outcome. I often assign between-session reflection questions or experiments to practice new behavior to keep the momentum going between sessions. I’m so glad you’re searching for something that can help you. If you have tried counseling before and it didn't get you the outcome you wanted, let's discuss that and do it differently this time. I hope you take that next step and make contact. Let’s schedule a free consultation to talk about what you are looking for and discuss scheduling. Now seeing clients virtually in North Carolina and South Carolina.
