This diverse toolkit allows me to adapt to your specific needs, helping you tackle issues like stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, and parenting challenges. In our sessions, we’ll focus on creating a space where you feel understood and valued, just as you are. We'll explore your thoughts and feelings, understanding your past attachments, and using insights to shape your present and future. I’ll help you connect with your emotions in a healthy way, and we’ll use creative expressions as a powerful outlet for your experiences. Each step of our work together is tailored just for you. It's about your unique path, your feelings, your relationships, and your goals. Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I'm here to support and empower you through every challenge and change. Let’s start this journey together, building a life that feels enriched and authentic to who you are.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where your unique story is heard and valued. As a licensed counselor in Georgia with a diverse background in person-centered counseling, intuition, attachment-based therapy, emotion-focused therapy, Adlerian psychology, and expressive arts, I aim to create a space that feels safe and supportive for adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This conversation helps lay the groundwork for our work together. You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings at your own pace, and I'll listen attentively to understand your perspective and needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a counselor lie in my integrative approach, combining person-centered counseling, intuition, attachment-based methods, emotion-focused therapy, Adlerian psychology, and expressive arts. This eclectic therapeutic mix allows me to effectively address a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, and parenting issues. One of my key strengths is my ability to create a personalized therapy experience that respects and sensitively responds to the needs of each client, whether they are adolescents, teens, young adults, or adults. I am skilled at adapting our dialogues and treatment plans to align with each individual's unique circumstances and goals. Additionally, my empathetic and compassionate approach fosters a supportive environment that encourages clients to open up and engage deeply with their therapeutic journey.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use a person-centered approach, which means our sessions focus on you. I’ll listen closely to understand your specific needs and concerns, and together, we'll tailor our conversations and your treatment plan to suit your individual journey. It's about what you need, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Adlerian

In our sessions, we'll focus on encouragement and empowerment, recognizing that you have the potential to overcome challenges and reshape your life. We'll look at your family dynamics, social connections, and personal feelings to see how they influence your current situation. By exploring these relationships, we can uncover insights that lead to real growth and change.

Attachment-based

In our work together, we'll explore your early attachment experiences and how they influence your current interactions and emotional patterns. This insight can help us address and heal relational wounds, fostering a stronger sense of security and trust in your relationships.

Compassion Focused

In our sessions, we'll work on developing a deeper sense of compassion for yourself and your experiences. This approach helps in softening self-criticism and building a supportive inner voice that can empower you during tough times. We’ll explore how being kinder to yourself can transform the way you handle life’s challenges and interact with those around you.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

In our sessions, we'll dive deep into your emotional experiences, exploring and making sense of the feelings that influence your thoughts and actions. This approach helps in identifying, experiencing, and accepting your emotions, enabling you to use them as guides in making decisions and in healing from past hurts.
