There are times in our lives when joy seems impossible to attain, sadness and worry seem to rule our lives, our relationships begin to fail and success seems impossible. However, there is a way back to joy. I believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore these emotions so that we can allow joy to flow back into our lives. My goal in therapy is to help you explore healthy coping skills. I want to hear your story and teach you to own your story. I want you to feel whole, redefine your sense of self and experience life in a more healthy and positive way. I work with individuals and families. I am licensed in GA and FL.

Today's teens face different types of stressors than those to which we adults were exposed. Our culture, with its social media and overly committed lifestyle of busyness, sets our young people up for increased anxiety, depression, and a lack of genuine understanding of who they are. I am passionate about helping young people live life in wholeness. I see ages nine and up. My areas of specialty are ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, stress management, school-related issues, and family transitions. I'm trained in EMDR, a therapy technique for those who've experienced trauma.

My favorite part about counseling is letting people know they are NOT crazy! Many feel like they are the only ones struggling and it is not true. I want to help you understand what is happening and let you know that you don't have to be a victim of your feelings. I use cognitive behavioral therapy in our sessions where we work to identify the negative thought patterns that are causing your feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression. Then we can work on coping skills to change the way you feel by changing how you think.

Self-Harming Therapists

How does therapy for self-harm work?

A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?

Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
