Connect with Reality Therapy in Florence, SC

Welcome. I am a licensed clinical social worker holding licenses in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina. I have been in practice for 43 years, with specialties in general mental health and behavioral health problems and challenges. This includes depression, anxiety, adjustment, mood, relationship, and marital problems and concerns.

Everyone has the strength to overcome life's challenges with the right support. I specialize in trauma recovery and emotional wellness, helping adults find clarity and confidence through personalized therapy. My expertise includes guiding clients through anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and relationship struggles.

I specialize in couples counseling, relationships, and sex therapy. The broad umbrella of sex therapy includes topics such as sexual abuse, sexual addiction, sexual dysfunction, and polyamory. I am Safe Zone trained and an LGBT+ ally.

I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work with adults navigating life's many transitions and stressors.

I recognize that reaching out for support can be both a courageous and vulnerable step. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you are returning to it, I'm here to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you'd like to be. I work with individuals who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, and more.

I am dedicated to helping my clients find hope and overcome life's challenges. Through a collaborative, strength-based approach, I strive to create a supportive environment where growth and healing can occur.

I have worked with a wide range of concerns to include anxiety, depression, parenting and family problems, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in both children and adults, along with adolescents, and concerns around addiction.

Therapy is tailored to what your needs are and the goals you have for your treatment. I work to create a space where you feel heard and supported as we navigate your unique journey together.

I work with women and teens navigating major life transitions and the emotions that come with them. My passion lies in perinatal mental health and helping clients find ways to manage challenges, build resilience, and create a path forward that aligns with their values and goals.

I believe counseling helps you process life transitions and challenges that bring shifts in your emotions, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. My goal is to create a space where you can explore these changes and find clarity.

Life, work, school, and families are often full of challenges, stress, and sometimes serious conflict, pain, and grief. I help people learn to overcome hurts and challenges, reduce and manage stresses, and heal and strengthen relationships.

Life can be difficult, especially when done alone. Selecting a therapist is a major step, and I don't take it lightly that you have chosen me. My integrated approach is customized to each client's needs. Together, we will work to move you to that place of purpose by gaining positive insights and learning healthy coping strategies.

Come on in and close the door behind you! It is wild out there! Life is life-ing right now! I am so glad that you stopped by. I'm sure the road you traveled to get here wasn't easy, so please have a seat. May I offer you gentleness for the mind or calm for the heart? Some clarity, perhaps?

Taking the first step is never easy, but it can be so beneficial to your life. I hope to continue the journey with you toward recovery and support you in becoming the best version of yourself.
