Therapists in Irwinton, GA

Finding "the right" therapist, involves searching for the one you feel comfortable with. Communication should flow very easily between you two. Trauma, loss and/ or self dissatisfaction are a constant concern for many. Those pitfalls and disappointments affect everyone just in different ways. Therefore, you should NEVER feel like your therapist doesn't "get it". I'm trained in helping a wide range of individuals to realize their fullest potential, find happiness in life through the development of healthy relationships and to empower them to reach for goals that currently seem impossible. My aim is to help you define your problems. I use my years of training in sexuality, trauma, marriage and family, anger management, addictive behavior, motivational interviewing, and cognitive processes combined with my own life experiences to lead you to discover and embrace your authentic self.

Are you tired of feeling stuck and repeating old life patterns? Are you facing old wounds that never seem to heal? I’m here to offer you a nonjudgmental and compassionate ear to help you get through whatever you may be going through. My holistic, therapeutic approach addresses both the mind and body so that you can reach new levels of happiness and satisfaction that will affect your work, play, relationships, and health well into the future. Therapy is an invitation to a safe, compassionate, healing and reassuring space where you can be truly heard. This allows me to understand you and to help you heal the emotional wounds of the past and present, and break old patterns, to create a more fulfilling, joyful, successful and abundant life. My dominant treatment modalities are always person centered with a strengths perspective. I am adept at Cognitive/Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have specialized training in trauma and integrated health (addresses both mental and physical health). I work with clients in a respectful, collaborative way that often even allows us to have some fun in the process. In my therapeutic career, I have helped many people: • Overcome depression, anxiety and anger • Heal from a legacy of dysfunctional families, abusive relationships, illnesses and trauma • Live an authentic personal and professional life that is reflective of their deeper values and passions • Gain confidence and clarity to make important life decisions • Cope with extensive medical issues (including chronic pain) As an LCSW licensed in Georgia, I bring over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field.

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.
