In my 18 years of work with clients, I have worked with severely mentally ill populations, the addicted (both inpatient and outpatient settings), grief stricken, trauma affected and those just wanting an improved emotional life. We all have life challenges at some point in our lives, whether at a point of transition or loss, but sometimes just desiring greater self-reflection. I love helping to facilitate adaptations or change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I would like to know who you are, the experiences that have shaped this and who you want to be. Please share your story with me.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have extensive experience with working with addictions, and I truly enjoy helping those who have experienced trauma find a safe place and move towards thriving again. Whether you suffer from anxiety or depression, we will work together to lessen the impact on enjoying life and functioning well. I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 18 years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge recurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a more relaxed and less stressful life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Those willing to tell their story and open to thinking and feeling a different way than when they first walk in the door. We can jointly figure out the rest. Note: I will no longer be conducting couples counselling via telehealth, but I will be taking on new couples for sessions in person in my Brunswick office.

My treatment methods

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

After we get to know each other, I focus on thoughts (CBT), emotions (EFT), and body sensations (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy). From there, we formulate an approach an some attainable goals uniquely chosen for you.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

We explore how your thoughts and beliefs affect and interact with the issues you are dealing with.

Somatic

What you feel in your body affects your emotions and ultimately your thoughts as well.

Couples Counseling

I have been trained in the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) that includes psychoeducation and skills-building techniques. But will only be accepting Couples Counselling clients in person at my office in Brunswick GA.

Just in the first session he helped me verbalize how I felt. He listened very well and asked questions when he needed to. So far the first session has shown me a lot about myself and I can’t wait for future sessions.
