Therapists in Rockdale County, GA

Currently accepting new VIRTUAL clients! My therapeutic approach centers around providing a safe space for clients to feel heard and supported. As a therapist to children, I can help children build self esteem, increase their coping skills, decrease angry or anxious behaviors, and nurture their creativity. As a therapist to individuals, I can help clients decrease anxiety and depression symptoms, work through difficult periods in their lives, and cultivate hope for their future. As a therapist to families, I can help increase communication, repair relationships, and create a safe environment to heal together.

My goal is to provide a safe, secure, and inclusive environment to explore the best course of action for the individualized therapeutic journey. In sessions, I work to actively provide a collaborative effort, with a dash of humor, in order to provide support in progressing the client to their goals. I operate from a narrative and person-centered approach to allow the client to rewrite their story or provide a space for the client to learn or continue to process their needs and goals.

Feelings of being, “stuck in mud or standing in quicksand”, in the sense of helplessness, feelings of being lost, unheard, unseen, or hopelessness? Masking your sadness with a smile while in the company of others or letting your extrovert behaviors come out, but in reality, it’s just a mask that covers your true thoughts and feelings. We often are unable to see just how much power we hold over our own lives that affects change in our day-to-day living. Our very own internal thoughts can sink us so far in depression that we forget how to live our lives to the fullest, There is nothing wrong with seeking help.
