Grief counselors and therapists in Augusta, GA

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia with 20+ years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings addressing issues relating to parenting, parent/child relationships, divorce, grief/loss, marital conflicts, behavior, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, communication, trauma, adjustment/life changes, etc.

I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, utilizing a variety of modalities to best serve the needs of my client. The modalities that are proven to be most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Rational emotive therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. It is my goal to help you to live your most fulfilling life by enabling you to be your true self. You will spend time exploring ways to grow and increase self-acceptance along with discussing the issues that you are dealing with. I will offer acceptance, empathy, and guidance as you work on personal growth and positive change.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

Is there a heavy feeling in your chest that you just can't seem to shake? Do you ever feel as if your coping skills are not working or you just don't have the desire to even try anymore? Are you losing sleep because your thoughts are racing? Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Family Issues, Maritial Infidelity, ADHD or Life Transitions? If it is difficult for you, then it's important to talk about. Therapy will help you to explore your understanding of why you feel the way you do.

I am a seasoned therapist. I have lived in many parts of the US as well as overseas. I work best with clients who demonstrate insight into their issues and want to change. I see myself as the copilot on your path to transformation.
