Therapists in Barrow County, GA

You have taken an important step to explore the possibility of therapy to help you address your life circumstances. I will provide an atmosphere of safety and comfort for you to explore areas of your life for which you are seeking better outcomes. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of concerns. Parenting is one of my passions both personally and professionally. I have trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy, a proven intervention for children with challenging behaviors that promotes positive parent-child relationships and interactions while teaching parents effective child management skills.

I help people eliminate phobias, pain, and anxiety. My interest in the power of the subconscious mind began as a 16-year-old troubled kid. I ran away from home and almost dropped out of school but fortunately I came across a book on how to tap into the power of the subconscious mind. It changed my life, and it can change yours too. I managed to finish high school (barely) and continued to college.

Are you ready for change? Are you ready to live the life you are meant to live? To transform the old self, you have to gain awareness.

I will show you how you can heal and become whole again. You really can have what you want.

As a counselor, I believe that working through issues such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm and compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.

We are conveniently located and just a short drive from the many of the surrounding communities.

Does your world feel upside down and overwhelming? Are you tired of people saying this is your "new normal?" What's taken over? Cancer, parenting, chronic illness, taking care of aging parents, becoming an empty nester? During the day you're distracted and irritable, and you can't remember the last time you slept soundly through the night. The anxiety and worry about what could happen is too loud only drowned out by regret. You spend your days caring for everyone but yourself and wondering what's next for you. Is there anything? Is there more? You stay small and silent, hiding your true feelings to protect those you love.

Were you recently the victim of a personal injury claim? My clients are typically experiencing PTSD symptoms and/or chronic pain, caused by a recent traumatic event. These symptoms are often exacerbated when they are not able to receive immediate treatment. I work hard to not only build the relationship necessary to facilitate the healing process, but the knowledge and the skills for clients to do so. I help my clients redefine their lives and their values, to begin making the efforts necessary to overcome their current circumstances, and build a new and better life, with meaning and fulfillment.

Throughout life's journey, many people will or may have encountered some form of trauma, abuse, hurt, or pain. If that’s you, I want you also to know that it’s been me too. You’re Not Alone!

We all get in a rut from time to time and need some help walking towards health and wholeness again. I specialize in helping women and couples navigate issues related to anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, life transitions and grief so that they can attain a greater sense of peace, hope and courage to live their life well. I help couples who are in need of help navigating complexities of relationship through building healthy communication & conflict resolution skills while exploring and facilitating healing in root areas of pain in a warm and directive environment.

Counseling is something everyone can benefit from; the key is finding the counselor that is the right fit for your needs. It might be in a life transition—from college student to adulting, from single to married, or from married to divorced. Maybe you’re having your first child or finding yourself with an empty nest. Maybe you feel disconnected relationally or disillusioned in your spiritual life. At those times, it can be comforting to have someone to help us manage the anxiety, make sense of the challenges, or find a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress.  My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

Greetings! I am a fully licensed clinical social worker in Georgia since 2011, with certifications in oncology and palliative care. I became a therapist because I want to help people find their way and their voice through life’s challenges, particularly those whose lives are impacted by cancer, chronic or terminal illness, or grief and loss. In difficult times, finding solace and empathy is essential. I believe we all have the capacity to grow and pursue a life with meaning, especially when facing a crisis. Compassion, honesty, and humor all factor into my approach in helping you discover (or remember) your resilience and strength.

I enjoy working with people ready to create stronger skills for improving their mood, creating effectiveness in their lives, and growing better relationships. As these goals can feel like a big undertaking, I strive to create a collaborative working relationship that remains focused on your priorities and what genuinely works for you. You will find me to be non-judgmental, caring, and authentically interested in you. It can be scary and uncomfortable to reach out, but the alternative is staying the same. Change is possible.

From a young age, I have been passionate about helping others embark on their own personal journey towards healing, wholeness, and purpose. Upon receiving my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Georgia Southern University, I went on to pursue my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have gained valuable experience and enjoy working with college students and adults of all ages experiencing addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns, spiritual issues, chronic illness, family of origin issues, and other life transitions.

Are you tired of being tired? Have you experienced trauma in the past or present? Experiencing panic attacks, anger outburst, self-doubt, isolation, or relationship issues. Do you want to get to the root of issues? Implementing EMDR protocols in therapy, you can achieve relief & balance with mental, emotional, and physical pain. In therapy, you will learn to go "with your flow" versus others in life to achieve unity. You will learn to connect the mind, body, and physical self to gain control and empowerment.

I am passionate about helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives, and helping them identify ways that conscious and unconscious traits and habits impact functioning and relationships. By exploring how you relate to yourself and to the world around you, you can build a life that is informed by past experience, not trapped by it. As a trained meditation teacher I integrate mindfulness and other meditation techniques where appropriate. My trauma work is integrative.
