LPC, 17 years of experience
I am licensed in Georgia with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I create a non-judgmental space so my clients can feel safe to open up and discuss their struggles without feeling they are bad or wrong for what they are experiencing.
Having worked with individuals for the past 17 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. I aim to create a space of openness, compassion and empathy to help enable true healing and growth,
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers. Through my years of experience I have worked a lot with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationships. I have a passion to help others discover their true potential and build self-confidence through self-empowerment. I also work a lot with individuals and couples to help facilitate stronger and lasing relationships with themselves and others in their life.
I implement Mindfulness based practices in my therapy sessions by creating a non-judgmental space. Common techniques of Mindfulness are focusing on grounding, breathing exercises to help promote calmness and feeling more centered by brining your awareness to the present. When we are able to bring our thoughts to current awareness, we are then able to facilitate change and promote healing.
By implementing CBT into the therapeutic process I help my clients become aware of how their thoughts influence their behaviors. Identifying cognitive distortions and thought patterns that may or may not be serving our wellbeing and may be interfering with our true perceptions of reality.
DBT- Can help identify our feelings and promote emotional regulation often related to anxiety and depression. Which in turn can influence our quality of life and relationships with others.
