Teletherapy for Cartersville, GA

I enjoy the work I do with individuals and couples, as we explore their journey. I see counseling as coming along side the client and exploring their "right answers" as they trudge their road to happy destiny. I am thrilled as I see clients thrive and change as they explore their opportunities. I have 40 plus years of experience in the treatment of adolescents and adults. I have worked in both residential treatment and community based programs.

Hello. Looking for a professional who can help you sort out the issues causing you pain, fear, worry, anxiety, grief, & confusion? My practice, Strategies For Life, is located in Cartersville GA. We are conveniently located and just a short drive from the many of the surrounding communities. I have 20+ years of experience in counseling to help people to eliminate emotional distress, find fulfillment and resolve personal challenges. I hold specialization certifications because I have found that different concerns often overlap each other and this allows me to easily transition with my clients from one area to another.

When we think about counseling, sometimes we think that you have to sit in an uncomfortable couch and have someone “analyze” everything that you’re saying and tell you if you’re crazy or not. Although you do have sit on a couch when you come to counseling and do have to share your information with a therapist, however, think of counseling as a safe space where you can be yourself and not feel like you are being judged by your actions or for who you are. I am a graduate from Walden University and have a master’s degree of science in clinical mental health counseling (MS).

Ya know… starting therapy can be such a task. But you’re doing the hardest part of getting started! Finding the right therapist can also seem like trying to find that "perfect shoe". Welp, I’m here to root for you as you progress towards your goals. Different approaches work for everyone but I'm committed to helping you get your groove and ultimately become your best self! Let's chat :)

I would love to help you with your life's journey. I can assist you in finding practical solutions to any major hurts and life transitions that you find yourself faced with along your journey.

I consider it a privilege to be invited into your life at this time when you’ve become empowered to seek mental health wellness for yourself and in your relationships. My counseling approach is conducted through a Christian lens and is guided by the integration of counseling approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFST). You can be assured that your own worldview lens is a vital part of the counseling process and will be valued as an intricate part of our therapeutic relationship, and of your personal healing process.

If you are searching for serenity and happiness. If you need joy in your life. I want to help you achieve it.

It can be so hard to ask for help sometimes and I am here when you are ready. Over the past six years, I have worked collaboratively with those who are dealing with mental health and/or substance use concerns. Most recently, my work has been focused around people in recovery, those working through life transitions (including divorce and parenthood), women's issues, and those involved with the criminal justice system. I partner with several community resources to help provide services to those who are typically underserved. I am an ally to the LGBTIQ+ community.

I am a professional licensed counselor with over 8 years experience in the state of Georgia as a mental health therapist. I have worked in many areas of mental health with individuals who experience/experienced anxiety/panic attacks, OCD, depression, trauma, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, physical/sexual abuse, parenting issues, relationship problems, various addictions (drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc.), self-harming behaviors, suicide attempts/ideations, oppositional defiance disorder, etc.

I am dedicated to the process of transforming your challenging life issues into meaningful ways of living. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, alone, or dejected? My practice will provide you with a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. I will guide you in the process of identifying, evaluating, and challenging the feelings behind your repetitive patterns of behavior. Since my goal is a treatment that lasts, a major focus of my practice is to assist you in breaking the grip of helplessness and hopelessness. Through collaborative effort, we can work on developing new and more adaptive responses to the challenges in your life.

Life happens...There is no "money back guarantee" on relationships or experiences or even on thoughts or feelings. When things seem "off" or aren't going as they should, we have to figure out ways to adapt or cope with each situation. I hope to help clients build solid foundations in self-acceptance as well as in their relationships with their partners/spouses, children and parents, siblings, and in all avenues of their lives, so that they can adapt to each situation in a most healthy and positive manner. Personal growth is the key to positive change.

Coming to therapy is a courageous effort, especially if it goes against your cultural, familial or religious beliefs. My initial job in the therapeutic journey is to create a therapeutic alliance that affirms you reached out at the right time, hope is possible and you can exhale! This journey we take together won't always be easy, However, knowing you can speak with someone who isn't fixated on fitting you into a mold of some kind of diagnostic criteria; but is more interested in your personal goals - and path to wellness, makes it all worthwhile! My job is to help you become a better YOU..through the renewing of your mind!

You can do this. I have faith in you and I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to heal. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and loss. I enjoy helping teens, adults and families navigate life's stressors. A positive environment that promotes insight and empowerment is the foundation of my practice. The nature of therapy requires a strong alliance which I strive to create with my clients. I also offer Domestic Violence group counseling and Alcohol and Drug evaluations and referrals for recovery sites.
