If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. CS Lewis
Licensed Professional Counselor, Summerville SC
Welcome and thanks for stopping by!
Reaching out to begin a journey deeper into the soul is a brave step! My aim is to come along side of you as together, we process through those things that have felt too much to even look at for such a long time. I believe each person is unique, each story is unique, and all have value and deep meaning. In the therapeutic process, we will work together to heal the wounds that have attempted to create a story that has held parts of the self captive for far too long. My hope is that we can join together to explore a different option, one that writes a better story...
a redemptive story.
I hope to see you soon,
Jodi

About Counseling
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are experiencing traumatic events, grief, life changes or stressful situations and others may be struggling with general feelings of anxiety and depression. Whatever the cause, everyone has times in life when they need help overcoming unwanted obstacles and getting through periods of uncertainty. Counseling can help you effectively manage stressors, learn skills to cope with powerful emotions, and find insight and healing to parts of the self that have felt stuck or too difficult to explore. Together we will examine how to heal and learn from the past, how to live more fully in the present, and how to establish patterns that will impact your future story.
