Female Therapists in Dahlonega, GA

I believe there is healing in connection and freedom in processing our pain. Having someone sit with you as you untangle your thoughts, experiences, beliefs, and feelings can be powerful. My personal story of childhood trauma and addiction led me to pursue professional counseling for myself personally and eventually as a career. I work with people who are struggling to find steadiness in their lives. Wherever you are in life, I would love to meet with you exactly there: in chaos, in stillness, and anywhere in between. I'll join with you in understanding where you've been, where you are now, and where you’d like to be.

I am a holistic and integrative counselor who is passionate about healing from the inside out. I believe when we can turn towards our inner experience, we find there the capacity, courage, and wisdom to deeply heal. When we can heal the parts of us carrying burdens, limiting beliefs, and trauma energy, it gives us the ability to fully step into our authentic selves and who we are meant to be. Sometimes we can't do this on our own and need someone to guide us and be a witness to our experience. My goal is to come alongside others as they do the hard work of healing and being in this world.

My approach to counseling is inspired by a Pema Chödrön, “Only to the degree that we’ve gotten to know our personal pain, only to the degree that we’ve related with pain at all, will we be fearless enough, brave enough, and enough of a warrior to be willing to feel the pain of others.” My therapeutic approach is determined by your unique needs.

Together we will examine your strengths, values, relationships, patterns, and goals.
