Therapists in Catoosa County, GA

Sometimes the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be daunting and overwhelming. You may have been contemplating the idea of beginning therapy for some time or it may be that an experience or something in your life has triggered the decision to begin seeking support and/or a change. Many people begin therapy because they are experiencing sadness, depression, anxiety, grief/loss or can't articulate the reason but know something is different and they just don't feel "right". Old coping mechanisms aren't as effective and/or you seek a different unbiased perspective.

With over 25 years of experience, I have an eclectic background including extensive international work with people and communities who have experienced trauma.

I work with individuals middle school aged and up. My client's issues range from ADHD, depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia in addition to phase of life/life changing issues.

If we are a good fit for one another, I have no doubt that we can work together to help you get back on the road to enjoy life or feel more confident in what you want to do next. Ideally, a client would choose me that was looking for a more relaxed feel while being able to complete the work. I'm more sweaters and T's than suits and buttons.

There are times when we desire a change or transformation in our lives. Our work together is heart centered and focused on getting you moving forward. I use different modalities according to your needs and acceptance levels for going to a deeper level of consciousness and feeling. We will creatively explore your life issues with a goal of empowerment and self-efficacy. Together, we will address any fears that are keeping you from moving forward, determine your resources and support, and make a plan to help you move in the direction you desire. If you don't know the direction yet, we will begin the work with self-exploration.

Feel like you're a constantly spinning top, trying desperately not to topple. Honestly, our minds are bombarded by more stimuli in a day than our ancestors faced in a lifetime.
