I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in both Georgia and Arkansas, with more than 15 years of experience as a therapist. I am also nationally certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and am a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). I am originally from the West Coast but have lived in the South for over 20 years. I have a Master of Education degree in Counselor Education from Augusta State University. I've worked in the outpatient community setting, school settings, and in a group home. I have worked with clients from school age through geriatric populations, both individual and family therapy, with a number of topics including depression, mood disorders, anxiety, stress, interpersonal communication, grief, ADHD, and self-concept, among others. My theoretical orientation is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I can draw from a number of orientations depending on what is best suited for you and the situation. My therapy style focuses on working cooperatively with you to help you feel heard, to learn and gain more confidence with coping skills, and to work collaboratively to process and brainstorm new ways of viewing or reacting to the situation at hand, so as to become an advocate for positive change in your own life.

Hey wonderful being. Welcome to taking the first steps toward carving out the life you desire. You might be curious about my 12-year journey in this work, but let's face it – what you really want to know is whether I can rock your world or not. Well, let me tell you all the ways I can enrich your life My specialty is relationship wellness and everything that comes with being in a relationship to make it work. This could vary from communicating the hard stuff, redesigning sexual intimacy, opening the relationship to new partners, getting your needs met, learning to be more yourself, rebuilding trust, and so much more. I support a variety of relationship dynamics, whether you're into classic monogamy, the wild world of polyamory, the daring realms of kink and BDSM, or even the captivating universe of swinging. Furthermore, you don't have to be in a relationship to see me, you can be single, dating, or just dealing with overwhelm, overthinking, over-giving, over-performing, people pleasing, codependency, or perfectionist thoughts and behaviors with lovers, family, and friends. No matter what you are going through, my mission is to equip you with the keys to break free from the jail of your own mind. My approach may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but why don't we dance together and see if we find a vibe? Here's the fun part – my toolbox is packed with a smorgasbord of transformative goodies: --Hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious) --Visualization (painting your dreams) --Guided Meditation (inner exploration) --Somatic/Body Work (connecting with the physical you) --Parts therapy (exploring your inner family) --Inner Child work (explore inner true you) --Breathwork (unleashing your breath's magic) --Narrative Trauma Work (rewriting your story) --Psychoeducation and Mindset Shifting (transforming your mental landscape) --Tapping/EFT (channeling your energy) --Conscious communication (unlocking the power of effective dialogue) Lastly, my schedule is late afternoon to late evening. If this is something work for your schedule, let's connect on this journey together. Watch this intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6-NidpfnWU
