Therapists in Alamo, GA

Welcom to my page! Thank you for being here :). My approach is about helping people make room for change in their lives. My personal and professional journey has centered on transformation and growth in people. I believe that our experiences and traumas are a result social interactions in our daily environments. This belief informs my therapeutic style, which tends to be collaborative, casual and conversational. While therapy is typically viewed as deep and serious, I think it should be cathartic and enjoyable. My focus is on how people can negotiate relationships and daily environments in a way that is healthy and minimizes harm to themselves and others. These environments include, but are not limited to the following: home, school, work, social media, the public, family, spirituality, etc. Therapy is a major step toward taking responsibility for oneself and their space in the world. My effectiveness lies in my intuitive skills and awareness of how our sociopolitical landscapes affect our lives. This includes the influences of social media, popular culture, and the current financial and political climate. Nothing happens in a vacuum and no one is truly alone. Ultimately, I strive to make the experience invaluable. That means making sure clients implement the skills to address their issues and see marked improvement in their lives.

You’re going through life feeling like no one hears you. You’re afraid to let people see the real you because you fear rejection. Or maybe you’re struggling with figuring out who you really are? You spend a lot of time either trying to avoid and numb out or managing intense emotions associated with memories, flashbacks, or nightmares. Or you have intense emotions but aren’t really sure where they’re coming from and others say you overreact. You are easily startled when someone slams a door or yells or drops something. You feel like no one understands. And it’s exhausting. You’re ready for relief from your symptoms. You want to feel heard and understood. You’re prepared to figure out who you are outside of your past and the symptoms you battle regularly. You’re ready to enjoy life, perhaps for the first time in your life. You are worthy and deserving of relief from your pain. Having 15 years of experience in working with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize your pain and the various ways you express it so I can help you heal.
