About My Clients

Do you feel like you have lost control of your life? Have you forgotten the joys that once filled your days, and do you miss sharing those joys with your loved ones? Perhaps you are going through the motions of daily life, without actually living the life you want. Your relationships are lackluster to say the least. You feel less accomplished, more anxious. Less satisfied, more stressed. But, perhaps the most isolating feeling of all, is that no one in your life understands how you feel.

My Background and Approach

I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years, with a focus on client-centered treatment approaches to a variety of mood and anxiety issues. I have been trained in specific techniques which have been shown to effectively manage anxiety, improve mood, improve interpersonal communication, resolve conflicts, and build resiliency in adults and couples. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for forward progress toward your goals. My client and I are a dynamic team, working together every step of the journey to wellness. I also partner with alternative wellness providers, such as massage therapists, yoga instructors, chiropractors, and traditional doctors to integrate all dimensions of wellness into treatment. I provide my personalized counseling via secure online video sessions or secure phone sessions. This means you can participate in high quality, individualized therapy from the comfort of your own home, from anywhere in Georgia.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every human being is inherently good. I believe that all human beings are valuable and have unique strengths and skills. I believe in the bio-psycho-social model of mental health, which is just a fancy way of saying that there is no ONE reason or origin for mental health issues. This is why I feel it is important to approach treatment as a holistic and integrated process. We treat the whole person, not just symptoms. Having been on the client side of the therapeutic relationship, I understand how difficult it is to enter therapy. I am sensitive to the importance of finding the right counselor. I encourage open and honest communication to ensure that my approach is effective, to manage any discomfort that arises, and to work through resistance, should resistance emerge. I'm dedicated to either being the right counselor for you, or finding the right counselor for you. I'm looking forward to growing with you, starting with a free phone consultation.
