Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Ridgeway, SC

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

You probably can't remember how long ago you started going through the motions. Just surviving each day, not thriving and living the life God intended for you. You can't quite remember when things started to get off track. But, you can probably remember a time when you were really happy, loving life and had dreams you couldn't wait to see come true. But life happens; children, careers and just about everything takes priority over what's most important.

After the death of my 21-year old son due to a homicide, my life as I once knew it, changed forever. This horrific experience has taught me that you do not get over your grief, you strive to get through and beyond it. This is not like the five stages of grief one experiences during an expected loss of a loved one, you do not progress step by step, but you can get through it. Our loss may be the same but our path will be different. If you are feeling hopeless and/or overwhelmed in your grief, contact me for a consultation.

You deserve to live a life you love.

Whether you may be dealing with loss, everyday stress, memories of the past, struggling relationships with your family, or concerns you may be having with a child, I am here to help you process through the storms of this life. We will work together to develop strategies for lasting change and a hope-filled future.

Sometimes in life feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, or low self-worth can prevent you from living a fully engaged life. Going through the motions leave you feeling dissatisfied. You feel derailed by intense feelings and thoughts that keep you trapped in a cycle that doesn't take you anywhere. And yet, change is possible! I can come alongside and help share strategies and coping skills to help you reclaim your life. I have experience in helping people find healing in the areas of depression, trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, family dynamics, and relationship issues.

I provide EMDR Psychotherapy for clients experiencing past or present trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, depression and chronic pain. I offer you a safe and caring place in which to find the space you need for the work of repairing habits and behaviors that no longer serve you, and a sacred space in which to heal the wounds of your life. I am passionate about the transformative power of therapy and its ability to heal the past in order to allow us to embrace the future wholeheartedly. For those who are ready to commit to the work, I am ready to accompany you on the journey.

As your therapist, I hope to help you experience long lasting recovery and healing. Through our work together, you will learn to develop a relationship with your thoughts and emotions rather than trying to control or push them away, how to change the way you cope with and handle stressors, and how to unpack how your life experiences, family dynamics, and relationships have affected your sense of self, emotional health and ability to feel as though you have choice in your life.

Are you or your loved one (child or aging parent) in a difficult season of life? My passion is working with individuals, in life transitions, doing hard things, experiencing hard places. Let me sit with you, hold space for you. I will provide gentle, compassionate guidance; empowering & honoring your vulnerability, strengths, and values. In order to heal, sometimes we have to sit in the uncomfortable, for a season. At Seasons Child & Family Wellness, I provide a nurturing and accepting environment for you to be seen, feel safe; leading you to balance, joy, and a sense of peace.

You're a parent or a guardian who often feels overwhelmed by the emotional and behavioral challenges that their children face. It can be tough to provide co-regulation when you're feeling heightened as well. Maybe your child needs help regulating their emotional reactivity to high stress situations or finding coping skills that can help calm the storm of flooded feelings and expression. My hope is that we can work together to find strategies that range from processing trauma to meeting the unique needs of children who are gifted with diverse abilities.

I am passionate about helping people feel safe, validated, and heard.

When we experience chaos and difficulty in our external worlds, our internal worlds often match the everyday crises we have “learned to live with”. Leading us to feel frustrated, confused, alone, and wishing there was a way out. What if I told you another path was possible? That instead of merely “getting by”, or masking your pain, that you could tap into resources to live a more confident and Self lead life? You deserve a space to explore the things that just are causing you frustration, without fear of judgement.

Our faith based counseling services incorporate both art and play therapy to offer adult, Children and Families relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.

Have you ever felt the weight of unresolved life experiences and events, as if they haunt you and cast a shadow over your life? Trauma, in its many forms, can disrupt our sense of self, leaving us feeling lost, confused, and overwhelmed. There is a path to healing, and I'm dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward reclaiming your life. Trauma recovery is a deeply personal and transformative process, and I'm honored to be a part of your healing journey. Together, we will explore your experiences, provide you with practical tools for coping and healing, & work towards restoring a sense of safety, security, empowerment, and self.

We all need assistance at different times in our lives to navigate through challenging opportunities. As a therapist I am an advocate for healing, growth and a more authentic life. I work with adults who are dealing with loss, anxiety, depression, anger management, identity issues, trauma and those wanting a deeper more fulfilling life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a powerful, research-based therapy technique that is very successful in helping people who suffer from trauma, anxiety, disturbing memories, post-traumatic stress and similar emotional problems. I use EMDR and other modalities to work with adults.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that considers your life experiences, patterns, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped you and are currently influencing your ways of being in the world. You are the only one who has experienced your life; therefore, I encourage you to think of yourself as the expert. My goal is to empower and guide you in expanding healthy awareness, rather than give you advice.

Maybe you have scoured the internet, the self help section, and your own exhausted brain looking for a way to make it better, but you’ve still come up empty. Maybe you are wondering, “Why do I still feel like this?” I'd love the honor of helping you explore your inner world, and find gentleness and compassion for yourself. I believe that you have the innate ability to achieve the life you want. My job as a therapist is to help you believe it too.

Do you feel hopeless and discouraged? We all go through rough patches in life, and sometimes we are left feeling stuck. Depression, anger, anxiety, helplessness and stress may follow. Having someone listen to your struggles, help you clarify your goals, break old habits and form healthier ones and learn to handle stressful situations more effectively can be extremely helpful. Therapy can help anchor you, so you can make the desired changes in your life.
