When someone you love is struggling with mental health or substance use, it can take over your entire life. You may feel anxious, constantly on edge, and unsure what to do next. You might be asking yourself: Am I helping, or making things worse? When do I step in? How do I set limits without pushing them away? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I specialize in working with family members of individuals in crisis. While many providers focus on the person struggling, I focus on you—the parent, partner, or loved one trying to hold everything together. With over 10 years of experience in dual diagnosis treatment and clinical leadership, I help families understand what’s happening, respond more effectively, and create clear, realistic boundaries.

I especially enjoy helping clients strengthen boundaries, build emotional resilience, break unhealthy cycles, and move toward lives that feel more balanced and authentic.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. My professional background includes individual therapy, executive functioning, relationship concerns, anxiety, life transitions, and multicultural counseling. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in helping people who feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or stuck reconnect with themselves and move forward with intention.

Outside of therapy, I'm an entrepreneur, recording artist, and lifelong learner who enjoys cooking, staying active, dancing to Zumba and Afrobeats, listening to jazz and old-school R&B, and spending time with family and close friends. Those experiences remind me that life is about more than getting through the day. It's about creating a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and aligned with who you are.

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I come to you as a SC Licensed Professional Counselor having 20 + years experience. I have worked with a wide variety of disorders as well as individuals who just need support through a difficult season of life. As you are seeking counseling, are you interested in functioning better with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, hurt, anger, and stress in your life? Do you have unresolved childhood or past adult experiences that affect you still today? Have you tried talking to counselors in the past without much improvement? Have you found talk therapy produced few results?? I take the approach of dealing with root not just the fruit to address issues. Do not be afraid nor discouraged; there is hope! Whether you experienced such things as a chaotic childhood, invalidating, abusive, toxic, manipulative relationships, and/or PTSD, there are ways to obtain closure. I find helping others with these challenges to be my passion! With research-proven treatment modalities we can process to develop skills and insight that will aid you in moving forward to healthier relationships and day to day life contentment. I commend you for the courage and vulnerability to seek counseling as this is not easy. I look forward to partnering with you in a relationship that includes an ongoing dialog of how we are doing and adjustments as your needs change. I look forward to helping you!

I accept the following insurances only: Aetna, Cigna, United, Oxford/Optum, Quest, and Carelon Behavioral. However, I do NOT accept EAP nor Medicare.
