Hi! Welcome to therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD and I earned my Masters from Shorter University in Rome, Ga. and my Doctorate online from Argosy University. I started in 1986 and I have held many roles and worked in many settings i.e., inpatient psych programs, outpatient psych programs, ER settings, etc.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions then dive into the topic or issue that led you to seek help. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow up sessions
My greatest strengths are listening, repeating back to the client what I have heard them to say and drawing connections to the past and present. I am creative, witty and passionate which shows up in my sessions as fun and educational.
CBT and psychoanalysis is the preferred treatment method of treatment. CBT works best with assignments for you to work on at home and videos for you to watch and take notes. Psychoanalysis allows me, the therapist to talk with you about your childhood of origin and family patterns. Once we discuss and identify patterns and pathologies, then we start naming these wounds and healing. I love what I do! I work Monday thru Thursday 12noon - 8pm, EST and I hope that these hours fit your schedule.
