I've synthesized my training in Advanced Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing™, Chinese medicine, gestalt therapy,
addiction
, and meditation into an integrated and embodied psycho-spiritual approach to wellness.
Currently featured in Atlanta Magazine, I can help you through a cutting edge neuropsychological approach to therapy. Emotional and physical pain are often interrelated. I am a trauma specialist who uses a combination of therapies to help you transform your life from not-so-good to great. I can help you calm the mind and the body, reducing anxiety laden symptoms. Advanced BrainSpotting, CBT, DBT, and Somatic Experiencing™ are tools that can really help move you forward from the inside out. Conveniently located in Buckhead and Brookhaven. Currently taking “Virtual” counseling patients through Zoom.

I help people recover from being stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or the shame that comes with out-of-control
substance
use.
Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control
substance
use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck.

I have experience helping adults and adolescents process depression, LGBT issues, spiritual abuse, trauma,
addiction
, and more.
Being a person in the world today is more challenging than it has ever been. Sometimes we carry habits and beliefs into adulthood that can make it even harder. As we go through life we develop skills and interpret information in ways that help us to survive and cope with our environment. It is the brain's way of protecting us and preventing future pain. None of us are broken, but we may be applying skills and information in the present that are no longer helpful or relevant. I believe that developing awareness and understanding of these core beliefs and instincts is the first step toward healing and creating lasting change.

Are you prepared to become the best version of yourself? I have been a professional counselor for 15 years and in my experience the only requisite for transformation is a willingness to be open to the change process. Clients that I work with typically feel disconnected and unsatisfied. Whether it be professional stagnation,
substance
abuse, marital or interpersonal conflict, the person I serve typically feels their lives are not aligning with their expectations or goals. I work in a direct and supportive manner with clients to align behaviors and goals with personal values.

I have worked with individuals with
substance
use disorders as well as other mental health diagnoses.
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner. I don’t try and control a sunset.” I watch with awe as it unfolds (Rogers, 1980). In my therapeutic work over the past 15 years I have been uniquely fortunate to watch as potential and destiny unfolds for clients. In my clinical roles I fully espouse a person-centered strength-based focus and approach with clients, to the end of collaborative problem solving with your concerns and goals at the heart of our work together.

You are trying to escape the control of a fundamentalist faith community/lifestyle, that holds great personal meaning to you; but you’re conflicted about leaving the dogmatic, authoritarian belief system in which you find yourself. You want to make sense of the damage that has been done by indoctrination. Or perhaps you experienced chronic abuse in a harmful religion and are trying to sever your connection to the faith, but you have no idea how to go about it? Have you experienced confusion, inability to think critically and have negative beliefs about yourself? You may be experiencing Religious Trauma Syndrome.
