Therapists in Arnoldsville, GA

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with over 15 years of experience. I have had the privilege to work with a diverse population and in a variety of settings which include a university counseling center, community mental health, and a residential facility. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, career issues, relationship issues (family conflict, partner conflict, trust issues & poor communication), trauma (sexual assault, domestic & emotional abuse), self-confidence, self-acceptance, and LGBT issues. My counseling style is personable, compassionate, and non-judgemental. I will always show empathy, respect, understanding and support. I typically use a person-centered approach combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution focused. I also use a strengths-based and positive psychology approach when working with individuals. Together, we would work to develop a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Life can sometimes leave us feeling stressed and uncertain. You are not alone on your journey. I greatly appreciate the courage required to seek support for a more fulfilling life. Change can be scary but it can also be wonderfully empowering. If you are ready to explore what has held you from experiencing life more fully, I am here to support and empower your efforts and I look forward to working with you!

What life challenges are you experiencing that make day to day life a struggle? Are you anxious, worried, or depressed? Do you struggle with organization, lack of concentration or inability to focus? Have you had an overwhelming or traumatic situation that has left you with an inability to trust others, yourself or question your sense of safety in the world? If so, you are not alone. Excessive worry robs you of precious time you can never get back. What would it look and feel like to see symptoms of depression alleviated? You don't have to suffer in silence! Do you feel stuck? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed? Are you worried, anxious or fearful? Are you experiencing sadness, low mood, crying spells? Would you like to experience life differently but you're uncertain how or where to start? I can help you get started by first addressing how your thoughts affect everything else! If you have answered yes to any of these questions you are certainly not alone. Our world can be a complex and difficult place to navigate. I’d love to speak with you to see how I might be able to help. I provide a caring, warm, inviting and compassionate environment for you to conversate.

I believe change can happen at any time for any situation. If this is where you are in your life, I am a great fit for you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with education from Tougaloo College with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Mississippi College with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with Specialization in Mental/Behavioral Health. I am also a nationally certified counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS). I have worked in various environments, i.e., psychiatric residential treatment facilities (PRTF), collegiate programs, community-based treatment facilities, and with people from diverse backgrounds, socio-economic and underserved populations. I have a passion and desire for helping others. My personal motto is: "I want to help people improve their quality of life, directly or indirectly." I feel all people may experience situations in life that they may need assistance in being able to cope and/or get past. Participating in therapy can help, especially if the individual feels comfortable and safe. I believe every individual that wants to make a change to their life can benefit from the assistance of having a "listening ear" they can depend and help them navigate a new path in life.

I believe I can be an effective agent of change for my clients because I listen, validate and empower with the goal of helping them find hope, healing, and growth in order to live a more meaningful life.
