Couples Counseling Therapists in Columbus, GA

Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, I believe in recognizing each client’s unique strengths as they relate to the particular challenges they wish to address. I specialize in helping couples who are unsatisfied with their current level of connection.

Hi. I am a middle-aged married mother of one grown and one smaller child. Our next anniversary will be 10 years for us. We were both married before finding each other, so there is a history of blending families with children. I am a Christian and Jesus is the foundation of my life. Life can be quite challenging. Many times we are facing situations that we are not prepared for or have prior hurts that affect our ability to overcome. When we get into these places it is easy to feel stuck or even blind to what is really going on. It is easy to shut down and isolate out of fear of what others may think.

We all deserve to be seen, to be heard, and to be supported without the fear of judgement. I believe that our life is like a story- comprised of triumphs/hardships, gains/losses, love/pain and more. Often we start to tell ourselves stories about our experiences that can hold us back from reaching our goals and living our authentic lives. As a therapist, I aim to help clients deconstruct the story line that is not supportive to them, and instead start constructing ones for their preferred reality and identity. My foundational belief is that we are separate entities from our problems, and we have strength and resiliency inside us.

I have a passion for helping those who are struggling with navigating through some of life's tough challenges. My goal is to join in on the journey and help you face those tough challenges by developing lifelong coping skills in an environment that is accepting to your individualized needs.
