Therapists in Savannah, GA

I have over 30 years experience helping children, adolescents, as well as adults overcome difficult emotional & behavioral struggles. I am committed to working towards healing & change - not only for the child or adolescent, but for the family as well. By providing parent education, I work to identify specific problem areas experienced at home and to develop a plan that ensures lasting success. I have a Masters degree in Counseling & studied Early Childhood Education as an undergraduate.

*Currently accepting new clients, including late afternoon hours* Are you feeling anxious, sad, or depressed? Perhaps experiencing fears, flashbacks, or just a nervous or heavy sensation? Perhaps you just need an empathetic, listening ear? There is hope! I work together with my clients in a calm, non-judgmental, refreshing manner, identifying the source of the concerns, and then together attempting to clear it out from the source. The goal is often not just to manage symptoms, rather to completely eliminate them. I utilize a variety of models customized to the needs of each unique individual.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and college students in therapy. I believe therapy is a safe space where we can discuss current issues and practice different strategies and develop healthy habits and relationships. I received a Bachelor of Human Development in Childhood and Adolescence from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Social Work from George Mason University. I have over five years of experience working with children and teens in multiple settings including schools, residential centers and in client's homes. I am currently a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW).

Are you feeling hopeless today? Do the stress and anxieties of life feel overwhelming? Is a life trauma or past hurt holding you back from living free? Hope is the power that rallies the survivor to face and overcome all of life's challenges. It is a confident belief that things can and will get better.

I enjoy working with children who are exhibiting disruptive, defiant, aggressive, and impulsive behavior. I have a passion for including caregivers of these children in treatment so that they feel empowered, confident, and prepared to handle any behaviors their child may throw at them. I also enjoy working with foster families and adoptive families who feel their bond with their child is lacking and want to improve the relationship, while also minimizing disruptive behaviors.

I am dedicated to helping youth and adults with life coaching; self-esteem building; transitioning issues; parenting support; and parenting and divorce education. I teach the court-ordered anger management classes and I offer state certified family violence treatment programs for men and women. I am CEO/Director of Success for Families and Children Enterprise which provides additional classes for the local court systems. I am also CEO/Director of Success for Children and Families, LLC which offers similar services.

I am a compassionate experienced therapist with over 20 successful years of working with people to create positive change in their lives. I will help ignite hope for your move forward. Treatment is provided for relational concerns, difficult life adjustments, PTSD, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss in a safe and supportive environment. I provide holistic wellness support and psychotherapy. Helping you achieve goals so you can be your best self. I focus on what you want changed and where you are in that process.

All it takes is one step in the right direction for change to happen. It's not about the big leaps or bounds. It's about making progress one step at a time. You do not have to figure out life all at once. We do not control what happens to us but we control how we will respond. Adversity will come but I'm confident in your strength that you can overcome any obstacle no matter the height or depth, one step at a time.

Many times you think to yourself, "I'm just not happy." The stresses of daily life are overwhelming. You don't recognize the person sleeping next to you, work seems hard at every turn, parenting is difficult and you are tired of being angry. Maybe this feeling has grown over time or has just started to surface. Either way, there's a distance between the person you are and the person you want to be. There is a distance between the relationships you have and want. You just want more. To feel happy again.

Reaching out for help for yourself or your children takes courage and openness. It can be scary but gaining insight and appropriate coping skills to better your life is the most important thing you can do for yourself and your family. I specialize in working with children under twelve but also have extensive years of experience working with all ages. I have grown a passion for working with young adults experiencing so many of life’s new challenges and changes, as they transition in college and their new lives after graduation. I believe in building a trusting relationship in a safe non-judgmental environment.

We all only get one shot at life and for the past 25 years I have worked with youth and adults to help them make their shot the best it can be. I have enjoyed working with people from a variety of backgrounds, ages 11 and older and serving adults. If you have experienced trauma as an adult or child, this is one of my areas of expertise. If you suffer with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, managing your anger or are experiencing a major life change then my skill set may be a good match for your needs. If you are looking for short term therapy or require a longer-term intervention, I provide both.

We live in paradise! We have fallen in love with the easy-going Savannah and island lifestyle. And although there is so much beauty on the coast, we can still lose our way in life so that we can't see all of that peace and beauty surrounding us. Whatever the reason, we aim to help people get back on a meaningful path in life. As the Rolling Stones say, "You can't always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes, you might get what you need!"

Clients say that I am compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. Though I enjoy working with adults, I am particularly passionate about working with children and adolescents. But, I have seen the best treatment for children involves the incorporation of the parents in sessions. I strive to help your child but also to create a healthy relationship between child and parent. I aim to encourage and empower each and every one of my clients to achieve their goals. I advocate for therapy being a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, regardless of the client’s age.

Where are we without hope? I utilize a hope instilling, collaborative and compassionate approach, inviting each client to work toward meeting their unique goals in a safe and supportive environment. Hope is cultivated as we successfully set goals, learn workable strategies to achieve those goals and take action steps to obtain those goals. No matter what you are facing, you can learn how to cultivate hope today to overcome every obstacle.
