Find a Therapist in Morrow, Georgia.

As we take care of our physical health by going for annual check-ups, exercising, and eating well, we must also place priority on our mental health. It is equally important and mind and body are connected. As a psychotherapist, I can guide you through a process of self-exploration and personal growth so you are able to become more aware of your patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness will empower you to change in the ways you want so you can lead and live a more fulfilling life.

I offer brief, results-oriented psychotherapy. My approach is to identify and resolve how specific, unresolved upsetting or traumatic events are getting activated in present day situations and contributing to negative beliefs about yourself in certain situations or repetitive, self-sabotaging patterns in your personal relationships or at work. I have advanced training and experience in helping clients understand and heal from many types of distressing events. Often we think these experiences are not a big deal or no longer influencing us, but they often compromise your ability to be yourself, achieve your goals and enjoy life more. See the Client Reviews section of my website for more.

My approach to psychotherapy is tailor-made to the patient and their needs. I use a Biblical foundation as opposed to the secular formats in traditional psychotherapy techniques, but the results are the same. My patients love having their Christian faith included in the process. For example, when doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we would find verses of Scripture to contradict the dysfunctional thought / automatic negative thought. This helps us to use a lens of "how does God see this problem", versus the patient trying to make the situation more positive on their own.

Choosing to enter into a therapeutic relationship is a choice to improve the quality of your life. Wounds from the past, broken relationships, loss, and many other experiences can become compartmentalized and hidden, yet greatly affecting your current relationships with both yourself and others. Psychotherapy can be a healing experience as you look at old ways of coping that may no longer be effective, and learn healthier ways to be both safe with and connected to others.

Are you struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety? Are you worried and stressed about the future or disappointed and crippled by decisions of your past? Together, we can work on skills and techniques to help relax you before panic sets in. You don't have to face the difficulties in life on your own. I offer you a place to share what you are experiencing and to become stronger in the face of your struggles.

I use an integrative approach with trauma-informed modalities focused on attachment, self-regulation, and systemic dynamics. Based on what each client needs, I use a combination of talk-therapy and somatic therapies to bring healing and resolution. I work with couples and individual clients to process difficult emotions, change unhealthy patterns, and heal relational disconnection. I use my training in EMDR, sex therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Psychotherapy is very helpful, let me count the ways: Psychotherapy can be restorative, Psychotherapy can lead to Peace of Mind, Psychotherapy can be affirming, Psychotherapy can lead to growth, Psychotherapy can be comforting, and Psychotherapy can lead to freedom. Psychotherapy requires a commitment to yourself, knowing and owning your worth and acknowledging "I can and will be in a better emotional, physical, spiritual place than I am today."

You are well on your way to your recovery, as you have taken a very important step towards your healing today. I help support my clients by listening to their concerns and helping to support them in a safe space. You are not alone, I look forward to helping you in your journey. Let's schedule your session to discuss what your need for support maybe.

Counselors often use cognitive behavioral therapy with clients. During episodes of anxiety or depression, people frequently exhibit extreme thinking patterns, and cognitive therapy can help them bring their thinking into perspective. If a counselor feels that issues from long ago (for example, trauma or childhood neglect) are emerging as anxiety or depression, she may employ EMDR. Other types of therapy include solution-focused brief therapy and mindfulness therapy can be used.

To my way of thinking, psychotherapy is all about learning more about yourself. The more you become aware of what you do, how you react, and why, you can become aware that you have more options for thinking, feeling, and responding in addition to the automatic knee-jerk reactions you experience without thinking about it. This frees you up to choose instead of react, which can lead to all sorts of new and wonderful choices for your life!

Through Career Counseling, it is sometimes helpful to explore how we might be getting in our own way to being successful at work. Someone who struggles to maintain a job, changes jobs frequently, has been fired from jobs without really understanding why, struggles to develop good relationships with those they work with, or has other personal issues that work against them in their work setting - it might be helpful to explore how to make changes that can improve their situation.

My goal is to help clients create lives that express who they truly are by recognizing, welcoming, and making room for every part of that person within the therapeutic relationship. This creates a safe space where healing can unfold. I invite them to experience themselves in new ways, to rediscover their disowned parts, to learn new skills; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to their own direct experience of the world ~ perhaps for the first time. I nurture this collaboration by recognizing that each individual already possesses all the wisdom he or she needs to love, to connect, and to thrive. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Some people come to therapy because they want quick results. Others are searching for something deeper: to gain an awareness of themselves, to probe parts of their personality that they have not previously explored, to understand how they relate to other people and how other people see them...all this and more. Psychotherapy is a rich experience, as rich as you would like it to be. If you're excited to explore, to deepen your awareness, and to grow, then this setting is perfect for you.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
