You may be experiencing symptoms like moodiness, long-lasting sadness, fearfulness, worry, and anxiety. While we work to get symptom relief, I treat the underlying cause of the symptom to help people process their trauma….so that they can again experience their vitality.
If you feel disconnected from yourself, others, and the world and are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety and/or depression, I can help you regain your sense of self, connection, and purpose by integrating trauma into the nervous system so you can again live in a connected state.
Adults and young adults- Art therapy & Psychotherapy
Specialties: treatment of adults and adolescents for trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorder, grief/loss, eating disorder, relationship and attachment trauma.
As an Licensed Professional Counselor, I am one of the few registered art therapists in Georgia, and am also certified by the International Association of Trauma Professionals to treat complex trauma such as attachment trauma issues, dissociative disorders, and PTSD. I have experience directing programs at a residential and intensive outpatient treatment center providing holistic individualized treatment, including eating disorders with adults and adolescents. I use a combination of clinically sound, insight-oriented processes addressing attachment trauma that incorporate psychodynamic psychotherapy, and body-based approaches such as art therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing.
When we process trauma we heal our disconnection from self, and are given back our best resource— Our “true self-is a wealth of vitality…”
“The true opposition of depression is neither gaiety nor absence of pain, but vitality- the freedom to experience spontaneous feelings. It is part of the kaleidoscope of life that these feelings are not only happy, beautiful, or good, but can reflect the entire range of human experience…”
