Divorce Therapists in Chapin, SC

I get it. You want to be seen-instead of feeling as if no one "gets it". Most days, you're trying to quiet that tiny voice in your head that tells you all the things that could wrong. Maybe some days you just don't have the energy to even pretend anymore. It's hard to try and hold it all together on the outside, when inside is barely hanging on. But here you are-reading this and looking for someone who will understand. You are worth more than what those anxious or negative thoughts tell you.

Helping others is one of the passions and purposes of my life. My goal as a counselor is to guide clients on their journey to healing and hope, like a lamp illuminating a path. My approach to counseling is person-centered and holistic. I see counseling as a collaborative process where the client is responsible for their growth. Additionally, I believe that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected with all pieces working together in harmony. If you are looking for a non-judgmental and safe space, contact me to get started.

Because life is too short to be miserable.

We have all had those days where we feel that nothing is going our way and the world is imploding on us. When those days turn into weeks and/or months, and you feel that there is no way out, It may be time to seek some assistance. I have been there too. I work with people of all ages dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, abuse, grief, and emotional challenges, and provide a non-judgmental support system in which I encourage you to freely discuss personal concerns and desires for change.

The 21st Century is fast paced and high tech. Today is very different from just a few years ago. We have been forced to modify our behaviors and expectations to accommodate technology. We are accessible 24/7 thanks to cell phones & blackberries. Though we juggle new demands none of the old stressors have disappeared. We still have jobs, families, friends & all the joys and responsibilities that accompany these relationships. It is easy to understand how our lives & resources can be stretched to the breaking point. Stop. Let's take the road less traveled. Truism # 1: Life can be joyful.

Within a confidential environment, I seek to provide a place where you can explore and restore stressful areas of your life. My focus is to help support you toward achieving recovery, healing and peace while providing solid tools that help you discover new ways of facing life's difficulties. Together, we can seek to halt the destruction of unhealthy patterns while bringing hope and healing to broken relationships, wounded hearts, and troubled lives. Regardless of current challenges, we can work together, step-by-step, to effectively help you move toward the next stage of growth.

Are you stressed, confused, unsure of where to turn? I'm here to help you make the most of the life you've been given! My approach to counseling is to ensure each individual, couple/family has a unique experience that works best for their current life situation. This starts with developing a therapeutic relationship that is built upon empathy, understanding and non-judgmental positive support. My hope is that I can come along side you and help remove the obstacles responsible for blocking your emotional, relational/spiritual and mental health.

Life can be complicated and overwhelming at times. In response to difficult situations people often lose sight of themselves, which can create internal conflict, leading to external issues. Integrity Counseling and Wellness provides individual, group, and family counseling to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. Our approach to the internal conflict includes a holistic perspective that brings about a sense of wholeness from the dis-ease of life's challenges. Change can be an uncomfortable and scary process. With the help of professionals that understand the normalcy of crisis situations, the process of healing, growth, and truth is attainable.

Relationship struggles are my focus, and these may be considered alone or together. We can work to help you navigate high-stakes situations to strengthen your most intimate, important attachments. We all need to feel understood, and deserve to feel loved. Through a relational, systemic approach, we can explore and strengthen your connecting bonds and place within them. Life is as much about how we tell our stories as it is the content of these narratives. Attachment is a key part of my work with romantic / sexual partners and families. Being newly seen and heard in more complete ways can be transformative and hope-inducing.

Do you feel overwhelmed by a sea of opinions, options, and advice pulling you in different directions? Setting impossibly high expectations for yourself causing guilt, anxiety, and defeat when you fall short? You then find yourself making uncomfortable choices or acting impulsively then berating yourself, amplifying the anxiety and self-doubt? This happens partly because you are operating in survival mode. You likely wear a lot of different “hats” and juggling the different roles and expectations can lead to feeling like you are barely getting by in any one role, furthering this sense of survival mode and exhaustion.

Struggling with your relationship, trauma, or anger? Have you already tried everything you know to do, but it’s still not working, it’s still not enough? You can escape. Whether you’re trying to improve your relationship, escape depression, calm anxiety, heal from trauma, or control anger, change is possible. It is not too late to feel loved, appreciated, valued, and safe in your life and relationships.

Why me? Why did/do I have to experience ____, be born with _____, and ultimately live with _____???? You've probably tried everything you know; positivity, praying, ignoring or burying the feelings, talking about the experience, maladaptive behaviors (shopping, sex, substances, ANYTHING to keep your mind off of what is), and you may have even tried therapy. Either way, you're here now which means something in you believes it is time and you are ready for positive change. You decide the destination or goal and I walk alongside you on the journey. Through reiki and/or therapy, we can get where you want to be. Healthy..why NOT you?

Let's face it - life is challenging. Taking the first step to reach out and ask for help can be difficult. When we struggle with mental health, relational issues and/or substance use/misuse, it is easy to feel inadequate and wonder if things will ever get better. Although you may have found yourself in patterns that you do not like, you have the power to change them. You have strengths to help you create a life inspired by what's most important to you and deal with life’s challenges in a more effective way.

Challenges in life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Learning to live together in love with others can be especially taxing. At times we may get “stuck” and need to find our way. I am passionate about helping you find new pathways to connection, healing and growth. I understand the challenges of being a couple, of parenting, and managing individual struggles. I also recognize the potential of each individual, couple and family, to grow, to change and find our way up and out of difficulties. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to provide you care within the context of your relationships.

I know life isn't easy. We can't do it alone. My desire is to empower you to find the peace and happiness that YOU deserve! Do you need someone to help you through a difficult time? Do you need help sorting out your feelings? Everyone deserves to be heard and validated. I will not judge you.I will work with you to gain insight into your life, make difficult decisions or work through your emotions. I want to walk with you on your journey through your healing.

Life can be extremely challenging. Many of us do not have the proper support or coping skills to sometimes handle what life throws at us. I am here to help you navigate through the issues you are experiencing from these life challenges. Whether it be anxiety, depression, life-transition, relationship distress, or family concerns; I am ready to armor you with skills and tools to help you cope. I do accept BlueCross BlueShield insurance, as well as self pay. I can provide you with an itemized bill, at your request, that is accepted by most insurance companies for out of network billing.
