Compassion Focused Therapists in Greenville, SC

I provide individual therapy services to adults of all ages, and am licensed to practice in NC. I have over 20 years of experience working with clients of various backgrounds and life situations. I worked for years providing therapy in adult community mental health settings, a college counseling center, as well as experience serving as a Mental Health therapist for Native American/tribal population. I am well experienced in treatment of anxiety (including OCD, Generalized Anxiety, Phobia, Panic Disorder, etc), depression, grief/loss, codependency, life adjustment/transitions, family of origin issues, and PTSD.

Our childhood wounds don’t just go away. They shape the way our nervous system responds to stress, the way we seek connection, & the meaning we make of our experiences. Many people don’t even realize how much their past affects them, especially if they never suffered any horrific trauma. But let me tell you what you may notice instead. Your heart and mind races for no reason at all. You react defensively rather than responding calmly. You keep thinking about what you “should” do rather than what you NEED. You work so hard but still feel empty. It’s never enough.

The culture we live in today bombards us with messages that tell us who we should be, how we should look, and what we should do. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of self and experience the freedom that comes from living from that foundation. I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy approach to challenge unhealthy beliefs and help you view you struggles as something that does not define you as a person.

Are you going through a major life transition in school, at work, in your home life, or in any other aspect of life? Are you finding it challenging to cope with stress, anxiety, or unexpected events in your life? Then you have come to the right place! Our next step approach is designed to help you manage the fast pace of modern life.

Greetings! Welcome to Pace to Peace Wellness Collective, we hope to be able to assist you! We want you to know first and foremost that this is a safe space, we strive to ensure that we treat our clients with dignity and respect. We provide a non-judgmental and shame-free space for you to share your life with us as we work together to help you heal at your own pace. Whether you just need someone to talk to every now and then or if you are ready to consistently work on yourself, we are here to listen and support you.

Far too often, life does not go as we hope or plan. It is at those times that we can truly benefit from supportive others showing us that we are not alone, and the powerful experience of someone validating, while also empowering us to overcome, our challenges. I believe that therapy is a space that can offer this support, and I value the chance to help individuals navigate life's transitions and obstacles. Through my training and work experiences, I have learned to empathize, and work effectively, with college students and individuals across the lifespan, from diverse backgrounds, and with a wide-range of concerns.

"Working toward clarity and balance at home and work." I believe insight plus action makes for positive changes. I have a great appreciation and respect for my clients as they use their resources and tap into their inner strength and wisdom toward setting goals and making positive changes. Therapy is about making changes and it is my honor to help my clients find their personal path toward their goals. The more I can help a person be connected and honest with themselves, the more they will make decisions, take action, and reach their destination toward their most authentic, happy self.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations-Brene Brown. Does your life feel like it is starting to spiral out of control? Are you tired of fighting alone or feeling unheard or unseen? My passion lies in helping those that are motivated to seek help but might be scared to start. Change can be very hard. I would love to explore that together. I go at the pace that is most comfortable to you. My specialties include ADHD, stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, familial conflict, parenthood and women's issues.

There are places inside we would rather hide from, places we may have failed or lacked courage, experienced a trauma or deep pain. You can’t go there alone. You need a place where you can work through it all. In our sessions we will build an alliance to dig deeper into who you are and find insight for new perspective and renewed strength. If you are a couple, I will help you work through the barriers that stifle your relationship.

I'm glad you are here! Coming to therapy isn’t always easy, so if this is your first time, or you are looking for a new therapeutic experience, I’ll help you feel comfortable, safe, and confident about our work together. I am passionate about working with individuals who are considering how positive change can impact their lives. Together, we will uncover the behaviors and feelings that have kept you stuck - stuck in your life, your relationships, and work or school. My style is friendly, personable, engaged, and supportive. We can kick off our shoes and sip coffee or tea while we talk.

You’ve lost yourself. Somewhere along the way, whether during a toxic relationship or maybe with ongoing anxiety, you’ve become so different, you barely recognize the person you used to be. You used to be confident, independent, and capable. Now… you can scarcely imagine a life that’s not filled with doubt and the overwhelm of racing thoughts. At one point, you had joy and hope in your life, but now your life is unrecognizable due to the stress of it all. You want to take back control of your life! You want to find inner peace and find your voice. You’re tired of feeling like you’re treading water but not getting anywhere.

My focus is helping you achieve peace by moving through what is holding you back from growing and being the best version of yourself. Together we would work on discovering and tapping into your own strengths and resources to accomplish your goals. Providing a non-judgmental atmosphere where you are in the driver's seat and I ride alongside you, recognizing that you know yourself better than anyone else, and I am here to provide encouragement and point out other possible paths.

I have worked in the counseling field for over 10 years now and continue to learn from every client I come in contact with. I see the therapeutic relationship as one that is unique, safe, and transformative. What I hope to pass on to clients is an environment where they feel comfortable enough to be where their "feet are" while also learning to better manage, and accept, the things that are uncomfortable in this life.

If there are parts of your life that aren’t working the way you might like…or aspects that feel out of balance…struggling with relationship issues, loss of Self, depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, confusion, or life transitions (career, death, divorce), great growth is possible…We are meant to live a life filled with passion and purpose...Develop a clear and comprehensive vision for your life that creates increased Happiness, Success, Life Meaning, Freedom, and Inspiration! I work with individuals, couples, and families in shifting the focus of habitual patterns to create true transformational change and Self-Actualization…

I am a Grief Counselor. This is my niche and specialty as a psychotherapist. I am best suited to work with clients who need professional support and educational resources to help facilitate the grief process. This is a time of upheaval and change - as we struggle to cope with the death of a loved one. The death may be sudden and unexpected or it may result from a chronic/long-term illness. I use an integrative therapy approach that is personalized to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, in pain and disconnected from our true selves. You may be exhausted by feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends and family who can’t understand, or struggling to make sense of what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. I love that you’re here now because you’ve decided you deserve more and are ready to feel different! Most of all you’re ready to leave the past in the past, change old patterns that no longer serve you and step into a hopeful future on your own terms.

I am dedicated to providing my clients with a space that is accepting where they can feel comfortable talking to me about anything without fear of judgement. I believe that therapy should be tailored to a client’s individual needs. My sincere desire is that I can walk together with clients in their journey to help them find solutions and to develop skills so that they can learn to become the best version of themselves. I know it is hard feeling not good enough, or just weary from the pressures of life. I know as a parent it is hard when you don’t know how to help your teen. Let me help lighten the load.
