We understand it is hard to learn new ways of coping in life if we don't feel safe in our environment.
Our clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive health care. We have a collaborative practice which allows us to see the "whole person" not just parts. We believe in the innate ability our bodies have to heal wounds both physical and psychological. Each client is treated with compassion and care. We focus on developing a treatment plan that addresses your needs as well as our knowledge. We don't believe in "doing things" to clients without their understanding. Developing a safe and caring relationship is of utmost importance so we make every effort to create an environment that is as relaxing as possible.

Here at Cast Away Therapy I am currently offering online sessions while working on adding Equine Assisted Therapy to my new farm in Camden, SC. We believe in helping people through therapy. Equine Assisted Therapy utilizes horses for emotional growth and learning. The modality is experiential which means participants learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the horses and processing their experience as it relates to them. We also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, and Positive Exposure Therapy. Email us: castawayequinetherapy@gmail

I would love being part of your journey to live your life in a way that brings you joy and fulfillment.
Throughout my life, my passion has been helping people have the tools, acceptance, and confidence to feel at peace in life and to find joy, no matter what is happening around them. That feeling of peace and acceptance creates room for personal growth and understanding that in turn impacts every aspect of life. I am thrilled for the opportunity to provide a therapeutic space for this kind of growth and healing. We all have strength, capacity, and contributions beyond our current self, and sometimes we need help removing the barriers blocking us from being the person we want to be.

Have you been avoiding fights with those close to you? Families adapting to their new lifestyle after having a kid(s), getting married, starting new relationships or even divorce, along with handling other life changes can be overwhelming. Do you feel like you're struggling to express yourself or trying not to blow up? Struggling to reconnect with yourself and each other, can be very painful, and it’s common for many couples, especially in the first few years. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid all conflicts in relationships. This can lead to resentment, which can cause more recurrent arguments and lead to long-term problems.

I am interested in trauma (defined broadly as anything life altering for which we are ill-prepared to deal with) and am trained in EMDR.
Most challenges we face as humans are "normal" as opposed to there being something "wrong" with us. However, we can often feel alone and overwhelmed when facing problems. Talking to a caring person can make a difference. I believe it helps to have an objective, knowledgeable and wise coach to help you find your way. I like to use analogies and work as a team with a client.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
