Hello, let me be the first to tell you that seeking therapy is a great way to make big changes in your life. I would absolutely love to assist you with making significant changes. You have already taken one step...just keep walking. For over ten years, I have been helping others explore and improve how they relate to the important and necessary people in life. I specialize in relationships and really enjoy couple counseling. I have worked with adult clients on issues related to depression, anxiety, grief and life transitions. I choose from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and family systems interventions to personalize my interventions for clients needs. I also provide psychoeducation by simplifying classroom theories and concepts. After learning something new, clients can then decide how they want to change their own lives. As a married mother of three young children, I stay pretty busy during the day homeschooling. However, I look forward to working online with my clients in the evenings. I love online counseling because of the flexibility it allows me to care for my family while doing what I love which is helping others. My clients report therapy helped them think differently about life. As a result, they feel differently and behave differently. Is that something you want...A difference? If so, let's get started.

Empowering People and Inspiring Hope This phrase best describes my method and approach that I take in my counseling practice. As a therapist, I am rewarded each day with challenges and an internal feeling of gratitude to be able to inspire hope, provide a renewed purpose and a greater sense of self in their personal journey of life. The life changing moment is when that person discovers their own inner strengths, faith and resiliency to thrive in the midst of their struggle. This promotes a sense of hope and strength which empowers the person to find the tools to work though or overcome a problematic situation. My practice would be most suitable for those struggling with: Low self-esteem Stress Anxiety Feeling overwhelmed Depressed Phase of life issues, Spiritual faith challenges If you’re seeking to rebuild your inner strength, sense of confidence and cultivate the life you’ve always wanted, then I would love to be given the opportunity to assist you towards your goals. My therapeutic technique is Person centered and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Fusing together my spiritual beliefs, faith, professional skills, personal experience and passion describes my method and practice with the clients that I serve. I am not a spiritual counselor but my faith and counseling training has enabled me to be an effective counselor to help people whether they are in or out of a church or religion. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 25 years in a community setting with various populations. I have dedicated much of my professional practice and community work to helping others to fulfill their dream, achieve their goals and improve the overall welfare of individuals, families and the community as a whole. I appreciate the opportunity to partner with you and assist you in your life's journey!

Hi and welcome! Finding the right fit for your counselor is an important step in this journey of growth, and I'm grateful you've decided to take the time to learn more about me. Individual therapy is a collaborative effort between you and your therapist. The goal is to provide an open, supportive, and confidential environment for you to address the issues that are concerning you. Therapy often includes techniques to increase awareness and the capacity for self-observation, make adjustments, and develop insight and empathy. I have 12 years of experience in the mental health field across various settings. I specialize in helping men and women with issues of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in Christian Counseling. I feel the call and see the need for a safe place for Christians to be open and vulnerable about the issues they are facing. Many Christians hear wonderful sermons week after week, yet many still struggle with issues that prevent them from fully receiving the life and power in God's Word. My platform focuses on what I call Counsel-Coaching. I want to talk about the things you feel like you can't talk to anyone else about. I also want you to leave your 1st session transformed with a new focus. I believe, you, me, and the Holy Spirit can do that!

Thank you for stopping by and taking time to learn a little more about me! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who is in private practice in Georgia. After spending 40 years in church music ministry, I resigned from full-time ministry and returned to college to earn my master's degree in Psychology. After graduating from Argosy University in 1995, I worked in Public Mental Health for 15 years, and in 2010 left that venue and opened my solo private practice where I continue to work today. My primary area of interest is working with couples who plan to be married, or with couples who need help restoring their marriage to a healthy status. I am a Level 3 Gottman Therapist. I believe in traditional marriage. I am blessed to have been married to my wife since 1965. We know what it's like to have marriage problems and to work through those problems. I believe there is no problem so great that it cannot be conquered if there is just a little bit of "one more try" left in both of you. I am also a Court Approved Counselor who works with individuals who have been court ordered for anger management counseling. I also work with individuals who are not court mandated but who want to work on their anger issues. I look forward to speaking with you about your specific needs.
