Bipolar & Mood Disorder Therapy for Women
Online therapy in South Carolina
If your emotions feel intense, unpredictable, or hard to control, you are not alone—and you’re not “too much.”
I work with women navigating bipolar I, bipolar II, and mood instability who are tired of feeling like their emotions are running the show. Together, we focus on understanding your patterns, stabilizing mood shifts, and building practical tools you can actually use in real life.
We’ll figure this out together—I’ve got you.
You’re in the right place if you are…
Struggling with bipolar I or bipolar II (diagnosed or suspected)
Experiencing mood swings that feel confusing or disruptive
Noticing cycles of depression, stability, and elevated energy
Feeling emotionally reactive, overwhelmed, or “out of control”
Dealing with irritability, rage, or anger that feels bigger than you want it to be
Wondering, “What is actually going on with me?”
Many of the women I work with are also in the process of seeking clarity around diagnosis or trying to better understand patterns they’ve lived with for years.
Some days it can feel like your emotions are running the show—intense feelings, irritability, or sudden emotional shifts taking over before you can even catch up. You might feel overwhelmed, unsteady, or drained, like your reactions are bigger than what you actually want them to be.
Maybe small things escalate quickly. Maybe your body feels constantly on edge. Or maybe your emotions seem to hit before your mind has time to make sense of what’s happening.
You may feel frustrated that nothing seems to fully stick, unsure of who really understands what you’re experiencing, and tired of trying to manage it all on your own.
I see you. You’re in the right place.
Care here is personalized, practical, and compassionate, meeting you exactly where you are. Support is designed to help you understand your emotional patterns, feel steadier in your mind and body, and begin regaining a sense of control and self-trust.
Together, we will:
Track your mood patterns to understand what’s actually happening over time
Identify triggers, cycles, and early warning signs
Build DBT-based skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
Work on stabilizing mood shifts in a practical, step-by-step way
Integrate insight and understanding so things start to make sense—not just feel overwhelming
Coordinate with medication providers when appropriate
We try things, we track what works, and we adjust together. The goal is not perfection—it’s stability and getting you back to feeling more like yourself.
