Therapists in Jenkinsburg, GA

Do you feel weighed down by stress, your past, negative thoughts, and unhealthy patterns? Have your relationships with others and yourself suffered? Are you ready to reconnect, gain confidence, and start truly living? I know personally how impactful trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress can be and am passionate about helping you process and cope with these concerns.

You deserve an open, comfortable, and non-judgmental space in which you can take time to fully focus on yourself and invest in your wellness.

We all need a little help now and then. Whether you are experiencing negative life experiences, have long term issues or needing relational help, I would be honored to help. I am a seasoned psychotherapist spending my life looking for and experiencing traditional and alternative methods to heal emotional suffering. Most of my work has been with combat, complex, childhood and single episode trauma. I am well versed in grief recovery, family dynamics, healthy parenting and coping strategies for long term recovery. I work with people of all ages in individual, group family and weekend retreat sessions.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve the quality of your life. My approach to counseling is eclectic/integrative and based upon a person’s individual needs while being empathetic, non-judgmental, and easy to talk to.

My objective is to support and enable clients to discover their internal strengths, guiding them through life's challenges to liberate themselves from feelings of shame, guilt, denial, withdrawal, low self-esteem/confidence, hurt/pain, disappointments, trauma, and the complexities of grief and loss. I aim to help clients establish healthy boundaries, foster meaningful relationships, navigate life's direction, and recognize their self-worth and value. In my role as a therapist and coach, I prefer to engage with individuals at their current stage, offering a direct, non-judgmental, safe, comfortable, and supportive environment.

I provide a nonjudgmental and accepting environment for clients to feel safe as they tell their stories. I take a collaborative approach, understanding and recognizing that we must work together to accomplish your goals, offering support every step of the way.

Talking about your life and disclosing personal details to someone you've never met in a professional setting can be daunting and unnerving. I strive to create a comfortable environment for each one of my clients, honoring self-determination.

This is done by teaching you new habits, experiences counter to stressful/trauma ones, and examining how you think about your life.
