LPC, 11 years of experience
Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that graduated from Mercer University in Atlanta, Ga. I have 11 years of experience and I enjoy working with clients who are looking for an alternative approach to health and wellness. I have a certification in Somatic Experiencing which is a mind/body approach to healing trauma such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other symptoms. I also currently study IRF, Inner Relationship Focusing, and use this parts work approach at times. Often changes come as we build more trusting inner relationships with our our younger, protective or defensive parts.
In our session we I will get to know your concerns and goals for therapy. I am curious if you have done counseling before. If so, I would like to know what modality you think the therapist was trained in and what positive tools you have.
My greatest strengths is carefully and compassionately listening to a clients goals and then collaborating with them to achieve those goals.
I love working with people of various ages, and who are open to learning how your own bodies know how to resolve the stress systems that bring you into counseling. I will teach you how to listen to your body in new ways in order for you to discover how it can heal. I love helping clients discover the wisdom of their body.
Somatic Experiencing is a trauma healing modality learned by attending the Somatic Experiencing trauma institute. This is a 3 year training program.
