Family Therapy in Pawleys Island, SC
This perspective entails collaborating with family, Physicians, and schools in a problem-solving process.
As a School Psychologist/Licensed Psycho-Educational Specialist I have extensive training and experience working with children and adolescents that struggle with learning, emotion, and social skills. Early identification and remediation of lagging skills are associated with greater academic success, improved interpersonal relationships, higher earnings, greater employment stability, and lower likelihood of involvement with the criminal justice system (Aos, Lieb, Mayfield, Miller, & Pennucci, 2004).

My degree in pastoral counseling has given me a strong background in building family relationships as well as feminist theology and spiritual empowerment.
I value relationships. In my office at Southeast Maternal Medical I continue to encourage the breastfeeding relationships that I encouraged as a La Leche League Leader over 30 years ago. I believe in the strong parental bonds that begin in pregnancy and develop through infancy, early childhood, childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.

I integrate my graduate academic and clinical training, a passion for a deeper understanding of psychological and spiritual development, and experience developing strong personal relationships in business to assist my clients in the pursuit of healthier relationships, family dynamics, and work environments.
Relationships are complex. We frequently identify ourselves through our relationship with others. We are parents, children, couples, coworkers, bosses, employees, friends. These relationships continually impact our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions. Perhaps your relationships involve stress, anxiety, sadness, grief, confusion, and unhealthy dynamics.

Growing up I saw the value of having adults who took time to see me for who I was, I welcome the opportunity to help be that person in the lives of those who reach out to me for therapy. I seek to help children, adolescents and adults who are anxious, depressed, have ADHD or who have or are going through difficult times such as traumatic experiences, loss of a loved one or a life change. Through the process of therapy, clients feel better equipped to manage their concerns and often leave the session feeling as if their "load in life" is lighter.

Throughout life, we experience a variety of highs and lows. Some of our lows can be much more challenging to handle than others. It is my belief that counseling is a process of self-discovery. Through the counseling process you are able to uncover tools to help you become better equipped to handle the unexpected lows that may occur throughout life. A little support can make a tough situation much brighter, and make all the difference for a healthier you.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
