Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Neuro-Relational Depth Therapist | Trauma & Addiction Specialist I don’t believe in "by-the-book" therapy. True, sustainable change doesn’t come from a pre-packaged worksheet or a generic protocol. It comes from a deep, rigorous conversation and a relationship built on genuine trust.

I bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and the hard science of the brain. My work is designed for the the individual who wants to understand the "why" behind their patterns to effectively change the "how" of their life.

By focusing on regulation over labels, we move away from shame and toward clarity. My goal is to help you understand exactly what is happening in your brain and body so you can regain your equilibrium.
