Existential Therapists in 30058

I am committed to working with individuals to help them achieve their goals and therefore individualize treatment to meet each client's unique needs. I attempt to build upon strengths to instill hope and bring about change. I assist individuals to find meaning in the midst of life's challenges. I believe that with hard work and persistence, change is possible. My ideal client would include individuals seeking assistance for addictions, depression, anxiety disorders, stress management, trauma, self-esteem, anger management, couples counseling, family counseling, and integrating spiritual issues in counseling.

I worked in youth ministry as a young adult, and then in chaplaincy and pastoral ministry before seeking additional training as a psychotherapist focusing on the mitigation of human suffering, and enriching family relationships and spiritual growth. I have integrated the body in psychological and spiritual healing, using practices that help us deepen our embodied awareness and enjoyment. I majored in history at the University of Georgia, and in pastoral ministry (M.Div.) at Candler School of Theology in Emory University, and then in family studies at the University of Georgia (M.S.).

Are your relationships not what you want them to be, filled with conflicts and you feel alone? Are you anxious, depressed, and feel that no one recognizes your potential or worth? You wake up every day and go about your routine, but you have lost your zest for life? Let me help you. You are in need of a therapist like me, who will first acknowledge the way you are feeling and not tell you "just get over it." I will empower you and give you the tools you need to get and feel connected again, to find joy and fulfillment in life, to "smell the roses again." COME SEE ME! I work with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

My counseling approach is collaborative, empathetic, holistic, and sincere. I believe that listening is the key to success in a therapeutic relationship and every client that I am blessed to serve will feel heard. Being treated with dignity, respect, and compassion are also the tenets that I abide by and will display in every interaction and intervention. I also believe when a trusting and caring therapeutic relationship exists, people can obtain to the place of effectively overcoming many obstacles and eventually achieve freedom from and victory over their challenges.
