My Approach to Therapy

I specialize in working with anyone affected by addiction, family members of addicts, and anyone looking to grow and expand self-awareness. I am a certified addiction counselor. I am a certified brainspotting practitioner, which branches off of a trauma modality known as EMDR. I am a certified experiential specialist. I am an anger resolution specialist. I am also listed on the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) State of Georgia site as a clinical evaluator. Addiction is a disease that often pushes us to go against our morals; this causes uncomfortable emotional states that we tend to want to avoid discussing. To begin healing, we must feel these emotions, and to feel the emotions, we need someone to process them with. I have personally experienced the darkness of addiction in my own life and strive to help people see their light!

My Practice & Services

I have been working in recovery for eight years and have seen a wide range of issues related to addiction. Addiction in itself can be a traumatic event as it causes us to go against our morals. Addiction often contributes to shame and can produce anger, anxiety, and depression, as well as many other common struggles. I have created individualized treatment plans for every issue my clients have presented. Each client has different needs and goals, so I take a person-centered approach to best serve. In recovery, it is important to identify our strengths and capitalize on them rather than only focusing on the problem.

Groups I Work With

I specialize in working in the field of addiction and have experience working with all types of addiction, substance abuse, alcoholism, sex addiction, porn addiction, gambling addiction, etc. I am in recovery myself and can relate on a personal level. I have run a veteran treatment facility for two years and have experience working with veterans. I work with all types of addiction. I specialize in working with anger. I specialize in working with adverse life experiences using the tool of brainspotting which is a branch of EMDR, a trauma modality. It is so easy to go to counseling and be taught to dissociate from emotions with coping skills. I believe to heal we must feel the emotions associated with certain experiences which is why I decided to also specialize in experiential work.
