Ball Ground, GA 30107
I have been working in recovery for seven years and have seen a wide range of issues related to addiction. Addiction in itself can be a traumatic event as it causes us to go against our morals. Addiction often contributes to shame and can produce anger, anxiety, depression and other struggles. I have created individualized treatment plans for every issue my clients have presented with as related to addiction. Each client has a different set of needs and goals so I take a person-centered approach to best serve. It's important to identify our strengths and capitalize on these rather than only focusing on the problem.

We experience depression and anxiety and grief, and feel alone in this struggle.
Resiliency...this is the most powerful quality of the human spirit. I work with clients to help them realize and expand upon this quality. I have been in the mental health field since 1998. My career has given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults in every imaginable setting (e.g., private practice, clinics, inpatient, outpatient, outdoor therapy, HIV/AIDS, incarceration, foster care, addiction). My education, clients, and experiences have given me a wealth of understanding that I am thankful to be able to bring into my private practice.

Much of our lives are spent striving to meet external expectations, often at the expense of neglecting our true selves. We fill the void with various distractions—from work and caretaking to food—as temporary substitutes. Despite our perpetual busyness, we often feel exhausted and trapped. Slowing down can be one of the most challenging tasks we face each day, it certainly is for me as well..

Thank you for checking out my profile! Finding the right therapist can be daunting and I welcome any questions you may have prior to scheduling an appointment. The main request I ask of my clients is that they come willing to get curious about their thoughts and behaviors. AWhen we become curious about ourselves in an environment where we feel safe and cared for can grow in ways they didn't know were possible. This is our foundation. From there I draw upon different treatment modalities including including ACT (Acceptance & Commitment therapy), mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and motivational interviewing.

Our mission is simple…to help our clients move from pain and suffering to hope, resilience and freedom. Pain is an inevitable part of the human existence. Throughout our life, we naturally experience loss, rejection, defeat, physical and emotional pain. For many, pain and trauma experiences in life can be overwhelming. While we can’t go through life without experiencing pain, we do have a choice about how we’ll respond to it. As Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl stated, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
