Hello, I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia in private practice.; I have been in practice for the past 15 years. I have a MA in Community Counseling with an add on certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work primarily with clients who are struggling with grief, loss, couples issues, adjustment, work stress, grief in the loss of a pet (disenfranchised grief) anxiety, some spiritual concerns
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect to learn about me, how I feel about them getting the help that they need and the importance of our therapeutic alliance. They can expect to talk about who they are, their past history with therapy, what brought them to therapy, who they have as a primary support and what they want to work on while in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In this new world of telehealth, I have learned to me "tele-present". To not allow the computer to be a barrier to show compassion and concern. My greatest strength is being able to help the client identify their needs, develop a plan and to be able to work through other issues as they arise.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are having trouble at work, people who are struggling in their relationships, self esteem, career concerns, spiritual concerns and people who are dealing with grief, especially with the loss of their beloved pet/
