Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of

therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the

collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic

Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.

I have been a Social Worker for 30 years! That's crazy for me to think about because I am not THAT old......and I have learned a lot (about myself) along the way. I have learned that I do like to talk to people more than I let on. I have learned that I can be very patient listener and I give good feedback. And, I have learned that, at some point, we all have to make changes in our lives and that can be scary. I have also learned it's not as scary when we talk about it out loud........just saying.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Myrtle Beach

Searching for therapists in Myrtle Beach starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter to you. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific populations can help you decide who may be a strong match.

Myrtle Beach has therapy options across the city and nearby areas like Socastee and Briarcliffe, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or prefer to meet with a South Carolina-licensed therapist from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Myrtle Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Myrtle Beach, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
