The client's problem may cause a loss of self or interest in things that once mattered. The client wants and needs help now! Our goal is to provide clients with the service and relief they need expeditiously!

My clients are often dealing with symptoms associated with trauma. This may include domestic violence, marital issues, life changes, and other events. They are depressed, anxious, and unsure of where to turn. With the aid of coping skills, knowledge, and self-awareness, these symptoms can be alleviated and allow you to be your most authentic self. Many clients have goals that they wish to achieve and I work with them to accomplish those goals. Through talk therapy and proven techniques, we can work together to address any issues you are experiencing.

Life can be surprisingly hard. Trauma, broken relationships, life changes, depression, parenting and marriage struggles-these things happen to even the strongest people, and sometimes you just need someone to hear you. You need someone to validate your experience and help you make sense of the difficulties you are trying to wade through--that's where a compassionate and honest therapist comes in. As the Owner/Director of Counseling For Hope & Healing, I know our therapists are not afraid to walk through your struggle with you. It may feel overwhelming to take that first step, but know you will not be going at it alone.

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.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
