Campfire in the dark

Reignite Hope through Authentic Relationship

Meet Nicole

Thanks for stopping by my site. Whether you’ve been to counseling before or are new to the process, I’m glad you’re here. Click the “About” tab or the link below to learn more about my professional background, approach to counseling, and who I am outside of being a therapist.

Why “Ember”

The name “Ember” reflects a deep belief about the healing process. Often, people come to counseling feeling like a fire that has burned low; what was once vibrant has been reduced to a dim, quiet ember. Whether through pain, conflict, or spiritual wounds, it can feel as though something essential has faded.

And yet, an ember still holds life and warmth, with the potential to reignite. Counseling is a space where that rekindling can begin. Like gathering around a campfire, our work together is rooted in authentic conversation, presence, and connection—creating a safe place to be seen, known, and restored. From there, healing can grow, and what feels dim can begin to burn brightly again.

Services

Individual Counseling
$120.00

Individual counseling sessions provide a confidential, supportive space to explore your experiences, process challenges, and move toward healing and growth. I work with adults (18+) navigating concerns such as life adjustments, identity development, career decisions, spiritual questions, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, abuse, and trauma, integrating evidence-based practices with thoughtful attention to your values and beliefs. Together, we will move at your pace, focusing on insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

Free Consultation
$0.00

Starting counseling can feel like a big step, and it’s important to find the right fit. I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video to answer your questions, learn a bit about what you’re hoping for, and help you determine whether my services align with your needs. This is a no-pressure space to explore next steps and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.

Professional Consultation
$100.00

I offer consultation services for clinicians, ministry leaders, and organizations. Consultation sessions can be virtual or held in-person if local to South Carolina.
