Sometimes what we need most is a place to be fully heard — without judgment, pressure, or the need to explain ourselves. I offer a supportive space where you can do exactly that and also better understand what matters to you, and begin moving toward the life you want.

Hi, I’m Margaret.

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside, but inside, something just doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, adjusting to a change, struggling with a relationship, carrying a loss, or simply feeling stuck. You may not even be able to put your finger on exactly what’s wrong—you just know you’d like *something* to be different.

That’s a perfectly good place to begin.

I earned both an M.Ed. and an Ed.S. from Clemson University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate practicing under supervision in South Carolina. My goal is to provide a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and explore what matters most to you.

My approach to counseling is primarily person-centered, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. I’m not here to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. My role is to listen, ask thoughtful questions, help you better understand yourself and your experiences, and work alongside you as you consider what you would like to change. We may look at thoughts or patterns that are getting in your way, but we’ll also pay close attention to your strengths, what is already working—even a little—and how you can build from there.

My path to counseling was shaped by years of professional experience and the lessons that come from living a full life. I believe there is value in sitting with someone who understands that life can sometimes become more complicated—not less—as we accumulate experiences, relationships, responsibilities, successes, disappointments, losses, and changes. Sometimes the questions we face in midlife aren’t about becoming someone new. They’re about making sense of who we’ve already become and deciding what we want the next part of life to look like.

You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. You don’t have to know exactly what your goals are or even where to begin. *Now* is our starting point, and we can explore what comes next together.
