Thank you for viewing! It is my heart to help you the client while ensuring you have a positive journey. Your learning to cope with life stressors can be a positive or negative experience. I would be honored to assist you with developing healthy ways to aid you or your family in reaching your goals towards a fulfilling life. I am a trained Christian Counselor. If you prefer to receive Christian Counseling, I am happy to assist you in leading a healthy spirit filled life. If you prefer regular counseling, I am also more than happy to assist you with leading a positively productive life.

I know that seeking help is difficult but it is a necessary first step in your healing.

I'm guessing you landed on this page for a reason. And, the truth is, you've got everything it takes to create the life you deserve. Maybe you just need some inspiration. Or a swift kick in the ass. Or somebody to help you change your thinking. I know I did. If you feel stuck and unfulfilled and wonder why nothing seems to go your way, I can relate. I struggled in every aspect of my life, failing to see the world as a place of abundance. I struggled in my career and in relationships. I struggled to set goals. Many days, I struggled just to get out of bed. Then, I decided I'd had enough. I decided it was time for a change.

I want to help you figure out now that PEACE HAPPENS INSIDE OUT. Lets make RIGHT NOW the best it can be, regarding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. We have the power within to stand up and push through the most adverse situations but occasionally lose our balance and fall down. My goal is to help you figure out how to get back up and continue the journey of life by learning from the past, and planning and preparing for the future, but really living in the present, as the gift that it is.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

At the Uptown Counseling Center of Mandeville, we provide expert treatment for Eating Disorders, Addictive and Substance Abuse Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, and Couples/Relational Therapy. Our staff is here to help you enjoy your better life.

For me, yoga and psychotherapy both offer opportunities for healing. Traditional therapy works primarily through the mind. However, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. are not only in the mind. The tools of yoga provide an avenue to address imbalances in the human system; body, physiology, mind, and emotions. Incorporating tools such as movement, breath, mindfulness, sound and meditation possibly can provide opportunities to reduce suffering, as well as enhance overall wellness. Most schools of psychotherapy only recently have begun recognizing the benefit of these tools which can work on deeper levels of the human system.

If you struggle with anxiety or trauma, your life can seem unmanageable. With help, you can learn to quiet your negative thoughts, overcome your painful emotions, and begin to feel happiness and peace again. With help, step by step, you can learn to fully accept yourself and move towards healthy self acceptance and healthy ways of relating to others.

Have you found yourself feeling just plain stuck? Are you curious about building a deeper sense of self awareness, perhaps an ability to connect more thoughtfully in your relationships? Life can get busy and it's easy for self care and the care of our relationships to fall by the wayside. Our work together may look like processing past trauma, exploring dysfunctional patterns or navigating life transitions. Clients I work with can benefit not only from gaining understanding as to why they get stuck in unproductive patterns but also by identifying tangible ways they can practice healthier alternatives moving forward.

Is your life upside down or simply unsatisfactory? Are you having relationship problems? Or maybe you need to get a handle on your excessive substance abuse or drinking? While you can often feel better after a good talk with a family member or friend, for moderate or severe emotional distress, relief tends to be temporary. Talking with a trained therapist can help alleviate emotional distress much more efficiently and effectively. Having had over forty years of experience I am able to listen and interact in a way that helps you quickly get to the root of your emotional distress and concerns.

I help people ready to reclaim space for self-care and wellness. Let me assist you in managing life transitions, setting boundaries, and overcoming burnout. I have extensive experience collaborating with clients to help them build the life they desire. Through the therapeutic relationship, I integrate my expertise with client's needs to promote holistic well-being. ​ My work is guided by three core tenets. Teach, Train, Transform. I value helping my clients know more and do more in order to transform their lives.

Are you seeking more direction and purpose in your life? Are you wondering who you really are and what you actually want for your life?

Every person in this world is like a mirror directed outward - We often attract relationships and experiences, which meet us at the level of our current self-esteem.

I am licensed and practice in both the State of Georgia and the State of Louisiana.
