Therapy for the “strong ones” who’ve had enough of survival mode and want more.

You’ve learned to keep going — but that doesn’t mean you’re okay.

On the outside you seem fine, but inside you feel anxious, disconnected, and worn down.

I’m Meghan, a trauma therapist offering virtual therapy for adults across South Carolina. I use approaches like EMDR to help your brain let go of survival mode.

Therapy here helps you stop running on empty so life isn’t just about getting through the day.

Specialties

  • The patterns we learn in childhood often follow us into adult relationships — even when we wish they wouldn’t.

    If you find yourself replaying old dynamics, avoiding closeness, struggling to trust, or stuck in what feels like a trauma bond, therapy here helps you break those cycles and build steadier connections.

  • When you’ve lived through long-term stress or relational trauma, it’s not ‘all in your head’ — your body and nervous system remember.

    We’ll work together to calm the overwhelm, process what happened at your pace, and help you feel more present, steady, and in control of your life again.

  • If your mind never seems to switch off, it’s exhausting. Maybe you replay conversations, second-guess every decision, or feel like you’re always one step away from messing up.

    Together we’ll work on quieting the constant self-criticism and building more trust in your own voice.

  • When you’re the one everyone leans on, it’s easy to lose sight of what it feels like to have anything left for yourself.

    Whether you’re a caregiver, a parent, or the ‘strong one’ in your circle, therapy here helps you refill your energy without losing the parts of you that care deeply.

  • Saying ‘yes’ might feel safer than saying ‘no,’ but over time it leaves you drained. In therapy, we’ll look at why boundaries feel hard, how to set them without guilt, and how to protect your time and energy without feeling like you’re letting others down.

  • When life has taught you not to rely on anyone, needing help can feel risky. In therapy, we’ll work on loosening the grip of hyper-independence, rebuilding trust at your pace, and realizing that vulnerability doesn’t mean losing control.

  • Sometimes surviving means shutting down. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself or others, therapy here is about finding your way back — so you can feel without being flooded, and reconnect without the fear of being hurt again.

  • If you notice every detail, feel emotions deeply, or get overwhelmed by too much noise or chaos, you might be wired as a Highly Sensitive Person. In therapy, we’ll focus on using that sensitivity as a strength while also finding ways to protect your peace in a world that often feels too loud.

  • “You are not the things that happened to you. But your nervous system still carries it — and that’s worth tending to.”

  • “Some things were too much to hold back then. Therapy helps you put them down now — safely, and for good.”

  • “You’ve coped by staying strong, staying busy — or staying small. But surviving isn’t the same as healing.”

  • “Healing doesn’t mean digging through every detail. It means helping your nervous system release what’s stuck — gently, and at your pace.”
