We All Need Help

Practice Philosophy

Practice Philosophy

Life has many challenges and many of us respond to those challenges in ways that are not consistent with what is important to us. Many times, these responses cause life to not be as fulfilling as we would like. Whether our challenges stem from trauma, anxiety, adjustment issues, depression, or some unknown causes, these challenges do not need to prevent us from living the life we desire. While I believe the therapeutic relationship is a great tool in healing, I also use evidence-based modalities in therapy. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a guide to help my clients confront the challenges noted above. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a trauma focused therapy that allows processing without the need to talk through the gory details.

Eleison is Greek from Ancient Greek aorist imperative ἐλέησον (eléēson) “to have compassion, mercy, or kindness”). Eleison Counseling believes that everyone is in need of compassion, mercy, and kindness. This is why I became a counselor and this is at the heart of Eleison Counseling. Using compassion we can work together to create the climate for growth. Learning to show mercy to yourself can restore the sense of who you are meant to be. Kindness to yourself and to others then can help you blossom and enjoy the relationships you value the most. Eleison Counseling is rooted in Christian teachings and integrates faith into the change process. However, those who do not share the same beliefs are welcome as well. To be sure, we are all experiencing difficult challenges but practicing compassion, mercy, and kindness can help us transform our lives and relationships.

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and made my way to Greenville, South Carolina in 2019. I would describe myself as a generalist in the counseling world. Which means that I can help most people, with most of the counseling goals that they have. But over the years I have developed a few specialties. They are Integrated Christian Counseling, counseling for Severe Trauma, and counseling for First Responders. I have extensive experience in substance use, depression, and  anxiety. I enjoy working with clients as they confront avoidance and start living the lives they desire.  The best evidence we have has shown the importance of a good therapeutic relationship in overall therapy outcomes. I love connecting with my clients and building a great relationship with them, so I hope we can build a great relationship when we meet.

Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable mental feedback we can face. I focus therapy on evidence based practices that have proven to be effective over the years in dealing with these issues. Ours minds are wonderful things that help us in our life's journey but our minds also can give us much distress. The internal bully many times has us cowering from doing the things we enjoy the most. I look forward to working together with you so that you are living alined with what you find important. I believe as we become more flexible psychologically the symptoms may not go away all together but you will have the means to interact with this feedback and move forward with what is important to you. 

 

Spiritual Growth

Biblically faithful and spiritually informed counseling is available to you at Elesison Counseling. I believe the Bible to be true and attempt to live the teachings of Jesus Christ. I also believe in Christian community and will encourage you  to be involved in yours. I try to make room for God to do unexpected things in sessions and allow for His healing. I rely on His leading, and I am confident that God is the Great Physician, and he can help supernaturally, beyond my ability. Again, it is perfectly fine if you do not share my faith as I meet with all types of spiritual traditions. In fact, faith never needs to enter into the counseling sessions. However, everyone who comes to Eleison should understand Eleison Counseling LLC is rooted in the teachings of Christ. 

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you effectively manage these symptoms and guide you through the healing process. It is never easy to face difficult events but I believe in doing hard things and doing those hard things will help you to heal from these events that were many times out of your control. 

 

Relationships

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection. In all stages of their relationship, it can be beneficial to process exceptions and patterns of conflict. Your partner is not the problem. We want to identify the actual problem and find solutions to work together to address what is actually going on. Therapy sessions are a supportive environment to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.     

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I would love to hear from you:

Finding someone to share your thoughts and feelings with can be overwhelming. Please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. We can go over your goals and see if we are a fit. I know I am not the counselor for everyone but I do want to help you find a person that you connect with so you can achieve your goals. Currently, I am meeting with clients only online. Counseling services are "self-pay". That means I do not accept insurance.
