I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults and helping clients learn how to apply coping skills in day to day life, recognize how past events impact their present emotions, and improve their ability to have successful relationships. Whether this is adjusting to new roles in life, coping with overwhelming anxiety or enduring the stifling impact of traumatic experiences, there is all the aptitude needed to deal with these problems within the client. I can assist the client in developing and strengthening the skills needed to effectively manage their lives.

The people who call me for help are real people just like you. You exhaust yourself trying to cope with the stresses and strains of real life. You often feel overburdened, stressed out, and maybe even trapped. You try to stay positive about things, but your resources [emotional and financial] are likely stretched to the breaking point. Your relationships are struggling. It seems that the harder you try to make things work, the worse they seem to get. There's not enough time to do what needs done. Every moment you spend in therapy has to count.

Sometimes you need to be fully heard and seen before you can change. Are you unhappy with your relationship, yourself, or where you are in your life? As a Relationship and grief/trauma therapist with 25 years experience, I help you change relational/thinking/behavior patterns and take bold steps to bring greater satisfaction in romantic/other relationships and achieve your life vision. I see individuals/couples dealing with cycles of conflict, emotional disconnection, lack of emotional/physical intimacy, affairs/emotional betrayals, dating challenges, or to explore needs/love languages or traumatic loss from a mind/body approach.

Having someone to walk alongside you in your journey to psychological/emotional health can move you from surviving into thriving. Navigating life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times painful. Dealing with difficulties like life transitions, stress, managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or making seemingly impossibly difficult decisions, all the while trying to maintaining positive self-esteem and finding helpful ways to cope with life demands, is a really hard thing to do. Feeling close to the people we love can feel hard when we struggle to find the ability to be vulnerable in a tough world.

My name is Kirsti and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Athens, Ga. I am the program director at a recovery center from 6am until 1pm and doing private practice in the afternoon. I spent my twenties working in film and television, then spent my thirties working as a birth activist and midwifery advocate.

An inherent promise of the therapeutic relationship is that it offers us the possibility of grace - to be accepted for who we are. This is why I strive in my practice to connect individuals with the "curious paradox" that Carl Rogers spoke of - namely, "when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." My years in practice have led me to appreciate how the most impactful change in therapy comes not through the exorcising of some fundamental flaw - i.e. "I will love myself only when I am not myself" - but through fostering a more intimate relationship to ourselves, friends, those we call family, and to our communities.

Relationships are a tremendously important part of our lives. When they are going well, they are a great source of joy, comfort, and meaning. When they are not, they can be painful and consuming, and lead to depression, anxiety, and despair. I specialize in helping people with all kinds of relationship challenges, from healing after affairs, to deciding whether to stay in a marriage that seems to have lost its life force. Maybe you are in a business partnership with someone that you are having trouble relating to these days, or struggling to find new meaning after the kids are grown and gone. I can help you find some clarity

Relationships are vital to our wellbeing. As social creatures, human beings need connection to thrive. This is what makes relational work so important to me. Whether repairing a connection that is broken or improving communication to prevent issues, a trained Couples counselor can help to provide the tools for success. A little about me-I have over 20 years experience in the medical field in which I gained experience in dealing with life transitions, grief, loss and other life changes good and bad. I bring this perspective into my approach. I offer a space that is judgment free and supportive.

I’m a person in long term recovery. What that means to me is that I have been substance free since July 13th, 2016. My previous battles with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating turned substance use disorder gave me a perspective that has motivated a purpose within the counseling field. I believe the you must own your story, otherwise your story will own you. We will own it by looking at your past and reframing it into a more positivist perspective. The therapeutic relationship is a priority and ideally, we will become a collaborative team.

You seem to have it all. You’re highly successful, ambitious, and supportive of those around you. Underneath, you are scrambling to hold it all together, feeling rushed, angry, burned out, and pulled in every direction. You feel like screaming every time you are asked to do one more thing at the expense of your own wants and needs. You suffer silently, or sometimes in outbursts, from the stress and overwhelm. Feeling resigned to meet the needs of others, you believe you just have to get through this.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, OCD, emotional overwhelm, identity issues, relational trauma, and/or life transitions. My clients often experience cathartic "lightbulb" moments when we connect the dots between their life experiences, mental health symptoms, the brain, and the body. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and even scary, but you're not alone. Together we'll harness your unique strengths to help you navigate problems, gain confidence, and reduce stress. Some of the approaches I use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic work, DBT, EMDR, exposure therapy, art, and music.
