Life is difficult, but it does not have to be hopeless. Living in a world in the midst of broken relationships, feelings of depression, stressful jobs and family situations, alcohol, drugs, and loss. It can be easy to loose hope and your sense of purpose. I don't believe there is a certain type of counseling that works for everyone. I will meet with you, find out where you are, where you want to be, and tailor my counseling to meet your individual needs. During my years of counseling I have learned many different techniques and how to use them with different types of people.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of South Carolina with over 22 years of counseling experience.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this world can beat us down. It seems that we take just one step forward, and life knocks us two steps backward. Life is hard enough as an individual, but when you add a relationship it gets down right messy. People disagree, argue, and inevitably hurt each other. Unfortunately we were created to be social beings. We were made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The circumstances of our lives can lead us to feel insecure, or unimportant. It's the lies we choose to believe that inevitably grow the problems that we experience. You can choose to think differently. I can help.

Help your child and family start a path for a better tomorrow.
Is your child and/or adolescent struggling to adapt to life's changes? Are they exhibiting behavioral, emotional, or cognitive problems that are beyond that of what is typically seen for their age? Being a parent is the hardest, yet most rewarding part of life. However, a parent's job becomes increasingly more difficult and complicated when your child is struggling to express feelings, explore relationships, and build self-esteem. It affects not only the child, but the family as a unit.

Whether you are an individual, couple, family, or child, I invite you to explore your experiences and your world with me, so that we can gain perspective and understanding on the situations in which we may be stuck.
Our journey through life has an incredible number of possibilities that are limited only by our imagination. I believe that each of us has the story that we have been told our life should tell, and that when we inevitably diverge from that path, our problems begin to arise or take on new shapes that have a greater impact on us. My approach varies based on each individual client, but influenced by the understanding that we are impacted by connected to one another, as well as to our environments and the systems within which we live. The decision to begin therapy is a brave one. It's a chance to begin the rewriting of your own story.

Clinical expertise includes blended and at-risk family dynamics, child development, behavioral challenges, navigating the school system when a child has special needs or has a diagnosis (including testing, 504, IEP, school based interventions, etc.
My therapy philosophy is based around a core belief in the beauty and importance of the individual and family. When I work with children and families, I believe I'm in the presence of something sacred. Parents want to be the best they can be, and they are doing miraculous things, every day. I love to hold up a proverbial mirror and let parents and caregivers see what I see: Good Stuff. Problems appear in the best of families.

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.
