Eclectic Therapists in Statesboro, GA

Greetings. What is your comfort level with the now? Are you currently thinking about the past, the future, or are you present in your now? When you and I begin working together, we will start where you are and hold space for the “present” of now. Time progresses and changes occur, sometimes comfortably and other times not so comfortably. I am passionate about supporting my clients as they travel their journey and welcome the gifts they possess. “Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.” Pema Chodron.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Augusta University and enjoy working with ages 14+ and with a range of challenges (e.g., depression, anxiety, complex PTSD). When you’re in my office, I want you to feel able to unwind and speak freely without fear of judgment. Your care will be individualized to you, and we’ll work together as a team. You can be sure your problems will always matter to me. I use an eclectic approach and choose techniques (e.g., person-centered, CBT, and DBT) to help you move toward your personal goals and develop a deeper understanding of yourself along the way.

Today may be one of the “Bad Days,” maybe even the worst yet. Lately, bad days are becoming more frequent. Racing thoughts, worry, anxiety, sadness, and lack of motivation seem to be taking over everything. You’re doing your best, but doing day to day tasks becomes a battle that is becoming harder to win. You’re always tired. Your brain never stops. Loved ones are concerned and maybe complain, which makes you feel worse. You shut down and either put on a show or avoid the people, tasks, and events that are important. The negative voice in your head is getting louder and louder and it says horrible and scary things to and about you.

I have experience with individuals at all ages and all walks of life. I have worked with children with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, those with substance use issues, and more. I have worked to ensure that I am a well-rounded therapist who can draw from my experiences across multiple settings.
