Mauldin, SC 29662
I have advanced training in perinatal mental health, in Child- Parent Psychotherapy, a clinical certificate in infant and early childhood mental health, and am a Registered Play Therapist.
Searching for the right therapist for yourself, your child, or your family can feel overwhelming. You may have tried everything you can think of to help, yet things still feel difficult. Perhaps your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, or the effects of a stressful or traumatic experience. Maybe family relationships feel strained, or you're carrying the weight of caring for everyone else while quietly struggling yourself. You don't have to navigate this alone.

Many adults who experienced difficult or traumatic childhoods don't identify with the word trauma. Sometimes there wasn't one defining event. Instead, there may have been years of criticism, emotional neglect, instability, rejection, family conflict, abandonment, boundary violations, or simply not having the safety and support you needed. You may know that something feels off without knowing exactly why. We can work together to understand the roots of your struggles, process painful experiences, develop a healthier relationship with yourself, and move toward a life that isn't dictated by what happened in the past.

You’ve been pushing yourself for a long time. Maybe you’ve never quite felt like you fit in—excelling in areas others don’t, yet struggling with things that seem effortless for everyone else. You might wrestle with thoughts like, “There’s something wrong with me,” “I’m not enough,” “I’m too much,” or “I can’t do this.” If you’re seeking support, I already know two things about you: 1) you’re at your wit’s end, and 2) you want more for yourself.

You're sitting across from each other, arguing about dishes, schedules, money. But deep down, you both know it isn't really about that. It's about your sentimientos, the tender hurt beneath the conflict, longing to be seen and held with grace. When we stop feeling safe and loved, we drift apart, even from the person we cherish most. I have walked many couples back home, and it begins here: no pressure to perform, just the two of you as you are. As you feel safe again, honesty and healing follow. Bring your Christian faith if it's part of your story. In English or Spanish, we'll lovingly rebuild your enlace, the bond that holds you.

Trauma is part of life. The lasting pain of sexual or physical abuse is obvious, but the subtlety of an emotionally neglectful or spiritually abusive upbringing often has similar outcomes of self-blaming and deep shame. It's by no mistake that my practice is called Likewise; I've struggled through the healing process, and I still get stuck. But I do the work because I value my option to thrive, and am keenly aware my decision to do so affects those connected to me. Whether you're seeking help for others' sake or your own (or both) I'd be honored to support you.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
