Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and have been practicing Mental Health counseling for 10 years and counseling people with substance use disorders for 15 years. My approach is based on the premise that “It’s not the event that disturbs us, but how we think about that event”. Rational Emotive Therapy (REBT) is an interactive approach that assists clients with increasing awareness of how changes in how we think about ourselves, the world, and others can decrease the intensity of our emotional responses negative events. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also an interactive approach that assists clients with increasing awareness of the present moment and rethinking the judgements we make about ourselves and others. The most important thing to consider is what YOU, the client, are seeking from the counseling experience and working together to achieve that goal.
