I see clients ages 13 and above for a variety of issues. I specialize in trauma (including survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence) and addiction, however I also work with first responders, as well as clients struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, boundary issues, and low self-esteem.
My clients have reported that I am genuine, easy to talk to and have a calming presence. I am culturally sensitive, and will always do my best to respect your personal beliefs and culture. If I do not know something, I will ask so that I can provide respectful services in a manner that best suits your needs.
Therapy is a collaborative process. It is about you, and I am simply here to help you find your way to peace and happiness. My goal is to empower you in your daily life.
Individual
I offer in-house or telehealth sessions for individuals.
In order to assist you in your journey, I use an integrative approach encompassing the traditional methods of DBT, CBT, and talk therapy while incorporating non-traditional approaches such as nature therapy. I enjoy incorporating “geek culture” into my practice when relevant. Because each person’s needs are different, I tailor my sessions to your individual needs. I also have a therapy dog in training to help you feel more comfortable and at ease- though if you are uncomfortable with dogs, you have the freedom to let me know and I will ensure that he is in a seperate space during your sessions.
Couples
I offer in-house couples therapy, primarily utilizing an emotion focused approach aimed at developing problem solving, increase communication, and address life concerns.
Families
I offer in-house family sessions utilizing a compassionate, emotion focused approach to aid families in increasing communication skills, re-build relationships, and address life changes.
Telehealth
I only offer telehealth services to individual clients, except in unique circumstances. I utilize a HIPAA-Compliant platform via SimplePractice. You can join the sessions through your phone, laptop or tablet. Due to state law, you MUST be in the state of Georgia when the sessions occur.
Please note that not all insurances cover telehealth, so if you plan to use your insurance please contact them in advance.
Issues I do not treat
Eating disorders, low-functioning autism, and psychosis. I do not work with children under the age of 13. I also do not complete disability paperwork or ESA letters. I will gladly provide you with referrals to professionals who specialize in these areas.
