I appreciate you stopping by the Four Seasons Counseling Services page to check out what I can offer you as a Conjoint Therapist! That term just means that I counsel from a Christian worldview and embrace both spiritual resources and compatible proven counseling techniques from the sciences of mental health. Implementation of this counseling approach incorporates the psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects of the whole person. I believe that therapy is always a triangulated encounter between God, the client, and the therapist.

With several licensed counselors to choose from, Palmetto Counseling proudly serves the communities of Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and surrounding Charlotte areas. We provide treatment to children, adolescents, adults, seniors, couples, and families. For the convenience of our clients, Evening & Saturday Appointments are available.

My approach is using the mind-body connection to address symptoms. I believe in treating each of my clients as a whole person. The mind and body are not separate entities but are intricately interconnected. I believe effective treatment must reflect this delicate relationship between mind and body.

Are you struggling to get through each day? Is it difficult to go through the routines? Transitions in life, stressors, and difficult situations can lead to changes in how you feel and how you function. If you are experiencing anxiety, worry, and sadness, these feelings are usually associated with distressing physical symptoms and can greatly affect your ability to work and relate to others. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be this way. With therapy, you can learn to approach things differently.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed or hopeless? Can you say you feel like "yourself" right now? Are you wondering where to even start the journey to healing? Everybody at some point in their lives reaches a place where the stressors of life become overwhelming and heavy. We go through life transitions that bring anxiety or grief. We question our identity or self-esteem. We feel like our faith or values aren't as beneficial as we want them to be. At these times, it’s beneficial to seek a non-judgmental space where we can feel free to sort through our thoughts and emotions.

One of the biggest lies ever told is sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me! As humans we experience pain in different ways, and we often give priority to physical pain while ignoring emotional and/or mental pain. Let's change that!

Individuals have many different reasons for coming into therapy ~ from day-to-day stressors to major life crises. Therapy can be short-term for a specific concern or longer-term to cope with more difficult issues. Therapy can also help with observations of lifelong patterns that bring an unease to our relationships with self and with others.

Life can present so many challenges throughout our lives from childhood to adulthood. Transitions, change, major events, minor inconveniences, all add up to create situations that can feel overwhelming and leave us feeling isolated. We all need that validation that comes from having a listening ear and guidance from someone and can benefit from having the space to work through all our thoughts and feelings.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Do you have friends and family who mean well, but don’t know how to support you? You never have to feel like a burden. Sharing your problems with a non-judgmental, empathetic person can feel freeing. Many people struggle with finding their path in life and sometimes feel lost and alone. Seeking guidance is not always easy. You do not have to struggle alone. I’m here to help you reach your full potential and to help you find the path toward total fulfillment.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist, I enjoy working with individuals, ages 3 and up, couples and families. I have a master's degree in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution and am also a trained mediator, which aids in my passion for helping others reach their goals.

Feeling like building and keeping connections is tough? I get it. It's like there's this persistent feeling of disconnection hanging around, right? But hey, you're not alone. What you crave are real, solid connections and a genuine sense of self. So let's team up and carve out a cozy, judgment-free zone where we can dig into those old wounds and build up your resilience. We're aiming for breaking free from those tired old habits, embracing self-love, and forging healthy bonds. Together, we'll dive into your story, tweak the plot, and set you on a journey of self-discovery and happiness.

Places you come to, places you leave behind, places where you wish to arrive. You have come to one of life’s tough places and found confusion, conflict, and complications. Instead of enjoying life, you are spending much of it on anxiety, disappointment, shame, loneliness, pain, and stress. There are places of greater calm, simplicity, and well-being, where relationships are caring, connections are deep, and ease is daily. You have strength to make inroads towards new places and wisdom to find greater acceptance and enjoyment of your life journey.

It's not too late! It can be difficult looking for a therapist while dealing with all of life's challenges. As a sex positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink & BDSM competent, and ethical non-monogamous competent therapist, my goal is to create a safe space for all of those who come into my care. Whether it’s relationship issues, trust, depression, anxiety, or any other life stressor, therapy can be a helpful tool.

I have had many years of experience working with adolescents, children, adults, and their families in both facilities as well as in homes. Through this experience, I have built my practice of clinicians who really are able to connect and listen to our clients. My work with relationships, couples and families has led me to my current practice. Meeting people where they are is so important. Helping them find their strengths and supports within their life, working on goals that are hopeful and achieveable, and finally helping them find their purpose in life, their relationships, and within themselves is the ultimate goal of therapy
