Crises Couples Counseling in Columbia, SC

Your Marriage Feels Like It's Falling Apart… And You Don’t Know What to Do

You can’t sleep. You can’t focus at work. You feel like a mess.

Your marriage is hanging on by a thread, and you’re terrified of what comes next.

Then it happened—one of you finally said it: “I don’t know if I can do this anymore.”

Hearing those words gutted you. Maybe it was you who said it, or maybe it was your partner. Either way, it hit hard. The weight of your relationship struggles is everywhere. Your kid even asked why you’re still together. And now, you’re sitting here, searching online for answers, Googling: "save my marriage" or "emergency couples counseling."



You’re Stuck in a Cycle That’s Breaking You Both

One of you gets home and checks out—mindlessly scrolling, zoning out in front of the TV, or finding ways to avoid the tension. The other keeps everything running—handling the kids, the chores, the never-ending to-do list—until they collapse into bed, completely exhausted and resentful.

It feels like you’re living separate lives under the same roof.

Sex? A ghost of the past. Communication? Tense, at best.

Neither of you wants to keep living like this, but the idea of digging through the pain is overwhelming. It’s easier to avoid it. But deep down, you know avoidance is what got you here in the first place.

Something has to change. Now.



Crisis Couples Counseling Can Help You Find Your Path—Together or Apart

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. If you work with me, we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting real. Together, we will:

  • Sort through the mess: Unpack years of hurt, resentment, and emotional disconnection.

  • Face the hard conversations with support: I’ll guide you through the tough stuff with structure and care.

  • Explore real transformation: Some couples rebuild and find something new together; others make peace with parting ways. Either way, we’ll get you clarity.

I won’t tell you whether to stay or go. That’s not my role. But I will help you get to a place where the decision—whatever it is—is made with intention, not fear.



I’m Not Afraid of the Hard Stuff—And I’ll Be There Every Step of the Way

I specialize in working with couples in crisis. I know how intense emotions can be, and I’m here to help you navigate them. Think of me as your emotional sherpa—helping you both traverse painful, scary terrain that might otherwise feel impossible to face.

With training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, I’ll help you recognize how past experiences shape today’s patterns, so you can begin to shift them.

If you decide to end the relationship, I’ll help you do so in a way that allows for grief and eventual healing, rather than prolonged anger and resentment—especially if kids are involved.

If you’re ready to fight for your relationship, I’ll stay in there with you, helping you transform your connection into something worth staying for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crises Couples Counseling in Columbia, SC

  • Crisis couples counseling is for relationships at a breaking point. Whether you're unsure about staying together or need immediate support to navigate a painful situation, this type of therapy helps couples make sense of their emotions, patterns, and options.

  • If you or your partner have said, “I don’t know if I can do this anymore,” or if the conflict, resentment, or distance has become unbearable, crisis counseling can help. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

  • No. My role is to help you gain clarity and navigate your emotions—not to make that decision for you. My goal is to support you in creating real change, whether that means rebuilding your relationship or parting ways with peace.

  • It depends on your situation. Some couples see major shifts in a few sessions, while others need longer-term support. We’ll figure out what makes sense for you.

  • While couples counseling works best when both partners are involved, individual support can still help you gain clarity and tools to navigate your situation.

  • Not all couples therapy is the same. My approach is deeply focused on emotions, attachment, and the underlying patterns that keep you stuck. Many couples who felt "stuck" before have found a way forward through this work.

  • I am an out-of-network provider. Generally, insurance policies do not cover couples therapy. But if you or your partner have a current mental health diagnosis and couples therapy is a part of your general mental health treatment, I can provide superbill for potential reimbursement. We can discuss options during your consultation.

  • I can help you work through the process in a way that allows for healing instead of hostility—especially if children are involved.
