Depression Therapists in Georgia

I believe in the mind-body connection and value an integrated and holistic approach to empower individuals to take charge of changes within themselves and their relationships in an authentic and meaningful way to develop a sense of fulfillment.

As an avid reader and writer, I have developed a deep passion for personal development and spirituality (Christian faith), which has led me to explore various avenues, from self-help, books to motivational speeches and I am writing a book and developing a journal with the hopes of sharing it with you soon.

Therapist, coach, wife, mom - but most of all, human. As someone with personal experience living with chronic pain and illness, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re trying everything, doing everything right, and seemingly getting nowhere. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are completely normal” or “there’s nothing wrong with you” but you’re in constant pain and discomfort, you’ve come to the right place. My main work is with those who experience hard-to-diagnose health issues and syndromes. Things like gastro-intestinal problems, arthritic pain, back pain and other bodily aches, and genetic disorders are all within my wheelhouse. We work on things like managing stress, building healthier relationships (with romantic partners, friends, and healthcare professionals), and healing childhood emotional wounds. How I show up with clients stems not only from my lived experience but also from my decade of training with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Year 1 of Somatic Experiencing, which means that I believe trauma lives in the body - not in your thoughts. There is a strong connection between chronic illness / chronic pain and the following emotional struggles: -Perfectionism -Procrastination / lack of motivation -Childhood emotional neglect -Finding it hard to relate to others -Feeling alone/isolated, even within your romantic relationship -Lack of meaning/purpose in life

I have worked with people transitioning in life such as a new job, marriage, blended families, homelessness, and the symptoms they manifest as including anxiety and depression, addiction and much more. I have been providing individual and family counseling independently for 7 years. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics which has given me a wealth of knowledge in how your eating habits can also affect your mental well-being. My intention is to provide a structured and supportive environment for you to feel good about while meeting your goals that include a healthier mental and physical well-being. I look forward to working with you!

I am an experienced and empathetic counselor, specializing in issues related to addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, relationship issues, spiritual transitions and the stressors and strains of life changes. I have spent my career helping a wide variety of clients to overcome barriers to making changes in their lives and to achieve their recovery goals. I would love to work with you and find out how I can help!

I have over 20 years experience helping people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationships. I provide an approach to therapy that focuses on you as an individual and helps you achieve your goals for coming to therapy.
