Wellpoint | Amerigroup Therapists in Dacula, GA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals, families and teens (ages 13 and up), with a specialty in working with Couples. I have 15 years of experience in the counseling field. I use a growth-oriented approach in helping my clients create positive life changes. These changes will inevitably enhance and build on their existing strengths, insights, and skills while they cultivate new ones. I truly believe that most people instinctively know what is best for them and their situation. However, we sometimes do not follow our instincts for a variety of reasons including situational circumstances, unhealthy relationships, and low self-esteem.

At Salveo Integrative Health in Lawrenceville, Georgia I treat anxiety, depression, couples issues, and Bipolar Disorder. I absolutely love my job and am forever amazed at people's problems, and their resiliency and strength to overcome them.

Online or Phone Appointments are offer from start times of 8:30AM till 4PM. I work with a wide range of general conditions with children and adults, such as anxiety and life transitions. I specialize in grief and loss transitions. Talking about your grief can be hard, regardless of the loss or closeness that you may or may not have had with your loved one. Everyone feels and expresses their grief in different ways, especially children. The loss of loved one, such as a caregiver, is a journey that lasts throughout life and can resurface in different ways and at different times.

I believe an individual has the tools to live the fulfilling life they want to live and I, as the therapist, can help guide him/her achieve his/her goals. I create a non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere and I make sure to listen to my clients. Throughout my years as a counselor I have had the pleasure of counseling individuals who need help with developing effective coping skills for their anxiety and depressive symptoms. I am also passionate about individuals who are going though bereavement and grief; no one should have to experience loss alone.
