Therapists in Sumter, SC

Now Accepting New Clients. Life is a journey with no shortage of challenges. We encounter these as we navigate parenthood or face many types of grief and loss. At times things become overwhelming and we need someone to journey with and guide us through managing stress and anxiety in order to cope and regain a sense of control. We all need a safe place to explore our thoughts and feelings to help us make sense of our world.

My passion is to help those that live with lifelong disabilities and present complex and/or substantial behavioral issues, which can include problems relating to noncompliance, tantrums/meltdowns, physical aggression, self-injury, destructive behavior, elopement, feeding problems, toileting, and school-related behavioral difficulties. Those seeking services are often frustrated or overwhelmed with these behaviors, as they can pose a risk to the individual or others, interfere with the individual's ability to function in typical environments, and/or interfere with the acquisition of skills or independence.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. With over 20 years of experience, I offer children, families, and adults a safe and accepting environment to explore and gain a better understanding of the issues most affecting their lives. Rather than solely focusing on behaviors or symptoms, I work with individuals and families on gaining insight and understanding into the various underlying causes of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is only then that meaningful and long-lasting change is possible.

Struggling with your child's behavior? Is the behavior causing tension within the household? Behavioral issues are difficult and can cause tension within the entire family. If the behavior or family concerns are not managed, the relationships in the family can deteriorate. I leverage your family’s strengths to grow the bonds between all members. I help children, teens, and young adults understand and manage life concerns. I provide support to parents and couples dealing with difficulties within their lives and family.

I see clients of all ages and who are dealing with major life changes, traumatic events, relationship problems, and anxiety and depression. The clients I work with are dedicated to making meaning changes in their life, looking to heal from past wounds, and engaged in understanding the nature of their problems better. When people walk through my door, they are taking an important step in vulnerability and relinquishing a sense of control. They are admitting what we all have to admit: that we are broken. However, they recognize another truth: their potential to solve those problems and the choice to take responsibility for their life.

Life happens to all of us, but it's the ability to become stronger and 'bounce back' from life's challenges that is the test of our true strength. Can you adapt well in the face of adversity, depression, anger, anxiety, or stress? Have you experienced any behaviors, feelings, or symptoms at work, school or home that you don't quite understand? We want to work with you to earn your trust as we gain a deeper understanding of your individual needs and help discover what’s keeping you from achieving your goals in life. No matter how hard things get, we want to help you break barriers & overcome obstacles standing in your way. #YOUMATTER

Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Do you feel misunderstood? Have you experienced difficulties communicating with loved ones? Do you doubt your parenting skills? Do you feel empty without a purpose?

Life can be so difficult and painful at times. My passion is in helping people of all ages better know and connect to who they are at their core and find healing from the pain they have experienced. I have extensive training and experience in play therapy for children, supporting teens and young adults in finding their path, and couples therapy. Regardless of age or whether it's individual or couples counseling, it's important to me that I provide a warm, non-judgemental, professional experience of support, guidance, and collaboration.

We all deserve to live a happy, productive life -- to have a little fun every now and then. While life can't always be fun, with the right coping mechanisms and cognitive tools, we can address even the toughest times with positivity and confidence. It is my goal to teach my clients how to live their most positive lives, no matter what the circumstance or issue: marriage and family problems, anxiety, depression, ADD and ADHD (children and adults), blended family matters, sexual issues, PTSD, and military-family dynamics.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Everyone goes through times when life can feel unmanageable, but you don’t need to navigate those moments on your own. Schedule an appointment today and start the journey to regain control.
