“It is never too late to be, who you might have been.” - George Eliot

Are you tired of repeating the same patterns
in your life, saying the same “scripts,”
playing out the same dynamics
as if an actor on a stage,
day after day, night after night?
 

Are you ready to:
 

• Receive help in understanding current relationships, establishing greater awareness, and thereby creating a choice of how to move forward in your life?

• Break through the unconscious patterns in your life that hold you captive in old attitudes and patterns, knowing that with clarity and awareness comes the freedom to do something differently?

• Create a new road map for how you want your life to be that doesn’t resemble the way it’s always been?

• Transform your current relationships and let go of destructive ones?

• Gain understanding of what kind of family you come from, why your family functions the way it does, and why the individual members of your family, including yourself, have come to be the way they are?
   

I can help you with all of those, and more!

Through our work together, you will achieve:
 

Better relationships with spouses, partners, family members and employees
 

Lower stress levels, less fear and greater ability to take successful actions
 

Greater self-confidence to make the changes you’ve been wanting to make
 

Enhanced communication skills for less conflict with spouses, partners, children and co-workers
 

Increased energy and more successful careers
 

A more balanced, centered and fulfilling life

Who Am I & What Have I Achieved?
 

I completed a degree in counseling and became a licensed professional counselor in 1993 as a marriage and family therapist. For ten years I ran my own successful psychotherapy practice and helped hundreds of women with a wide variety of challenges. In addition, I was the founder and head counselor of a Women’s Center in Charleston, South Carolina, which twenty years later, still provides services to women.

I am passionate about helping women get unstuck from whatever patterns and attitudes keep them from living fully actualized lives. I have honed my skills over the years with the goal of getting to the core of issues quickly and effectively to help women make permanent and positive changes.

Read what my clients are saying:
 

“Some years ago, I had weekly therapy for 4-5 years. Yesterday I had a one hour session with Susan to discuss the state of my marriage. In that hour, she was able to do what thousands of dollars worth have therapy did not do - and should have done. I have never had anyone define my issues so clearly for me. I am relieved and thrilled. She is really good! I owe her so much more than the little check that is in the mail. I was spinning, confused, lost...now, I'm ready to begin.”   --Name withheld to honor confidentiality

"I was unable to see the trees for the forest. I needed my issues named, and named in a way I could understand enough to process it. Susan identified, quickly and accurately, things that I certainly missed, as did two other therapists."  --Kate M., Charleston, SC

"Rather than giving me a fish, Susan taught me to fish. I can never thank her enough for that. She freed me from captivity. (No, this isn't transference, it is liberation!)" --M.S., Asheville, NC

"It was the best session I've ever had. Susan zeroed in on what the real problem was and once she told me, lights came on, whistles blew. I feel empowered. I am a person I recognize again. I am moving forward and moving on." --Karen C., United Kingdom
