I help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming life stressors. I help people who look fine on the outside yet feel misunderstood and alone with battles no one sees. They wonder if their “normal” really hides trauma and sense that burying feelings can only last so long. In therapy, we give those hidden struggles a voice, make sense of the chaos, and build skills that help them take back control. Some of the most common concerns voiced in therapy are, “I don’t feel listened to,” “I struggle to communicate my thoughts,” and “I’m about to give up.” These thoughts carry emotional pain rooted in past hurts. To cope, many have learned to disconnect from their feelings just to survive.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


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.
