Art Therapy
Art Therapy reflects the combination of two different disciplines: Art and Psychology. The incorporation of art making within a therapeutic space allows for the exploration of thoughts, feelings and intuitions to be developed in a visual capacity. This release can be an inherent opportunity for healing but also, paired with discussion, presents an enhanced exploration of the suppressed unconscious and stored inner wounds and dialogue.
Combined with the traditional talk therapy, art enhances opportunity for self-exploration on a deeper level.The collaboration of the two can uncover what has been tucked away, stored or resisted. When visuals come to life through colors, forms, movement and so on, it is a connecting agent to the unconscious and sub-conscious parts of the brain where potential suppression is impacting one's ability to grow and heal.
Conversation-based Talk Therapy
I specialize in working with anxiety, autism (low support/high functioning), life transitions, Individuals navigating separation or divorce, childhood trauma and wounds, boundary setting, personality awareness & impact, spiritual confusion, disruption or desire & more.
We go to the gym to nurture our physical health, why do we question going to therapy to nurture our mental and emotional health. Challenge your assumptions, challenge your perspective, grow self-compassion, wake up and become aware to how you treat yourself as well as those around you.
Are you seeking a deeper connection & understanding? Are you feeling lost, lacking purpose or satisfaction in life? I utilize a depth-focused, and analytical person centered approach to allow for an exploration of personality, habits, patterns, connections and the ego that have structured your life but may be a disruption to your joy, fulfillment & instigating stress. When in a place of fear, anxiety, desire, shame, perfection or an egotistical sense of value, we defer to what we know, judgement, impulsivity, sarcasm, disconnection or revenge. These are defenses resisting true self-awareness, compassion and connection.
Enneagram Personality Exploration
Let’s take the time to understand the nature of you. So many answers to the why of our doing, thinking and feeling in response to experiences comes from our instinctual personality & natural impulses. In a society filled with comparison and not enough-ness, let’s build compassion, acceptance and get a little more free to be you!
We will start off by completing an initial assessment, we will take on deep exploration of your personality type over 3-5 sessions. The initial two sessions will be information collecting and finalizing your personality type. From there, we will take a journey inward in discovering all the why’s and finish our process with new directions of empowerment, compassion
Meditation and yoga sessions require a regular intake session along with additional sessions as needed to maintain a sense of understanding of the clients needs as they evolve.
Nature vs nurture… the age old conversation regarding the design and influence of human behavior. I find experiences and the nurture side to be fairly clear and able to be seen. Nature on the other hand, leans a bit more of mystery and a need to effort through discovery of self. Have you ever wondered why you might react differently to the same experience as the person next to you, why you’re drawn to a certain lifestyle, why you may be an introvert over and extrovert, why you cry more than others or jump more quickly to anger, escape?
Prepare & Enrich
Pre-Marital Counseling
Prepare/Enrich is an evidence-informed relationship assessment and counseling program designed to help couples better understand their strengths, identify areas of growth, and build skills for a healthier, more connected relationship. Through guided assessment and therapeutic conversation, couples explore communication, conflict, intimacy, finances, shared values, family dynamics, and other areas that influence relationship satisfaction. Whether preparing for marriage or strengthening an established partnership, Prepare/Enrich provides a structured framework for meaningful conversations and lasting growth.
I offer a 6-8 month couples counseling package to meet the state requirement for a marriage license discount as well as additional sessions to allow for personality exploration and any other topics desired to be covered outside of the topics provided.
*Georgia Marriage License Discount requires 6 hours of counseling.
Considering engagement? Already headed to the altar? This program can provide the opportunity to explore the tougher conversations in a safe and approachable way.
Meditation
There is a misperception in the world that healing negative or toxic thought patterns, panic, anxiety, overthinking, begins with the mind. I am often met with a questions and desires for skills or mechanisms to change how one thinks. I believe that healing and changing the way our thoughts manifest is first through the body, heart and then the mind.
I also believe in the power of practiced mindfulness and silence. Todays world is extremely stimulated and under the duress of immediacy. We have lost sight in practicing slowness, thoughtfulness, care to our needs to ensure fulfillment of everyone else’s needs over our own. Taking just 2-5 minutes a day can drastically change how we see what matters most in the day, week or month. I provide 20-30 minute personalized meditations to meet the needs of the client.
Meditation sessions require a regular intake session along with additional sessions as needed to maintain a sense of understanding of the clients needs as they evolve.
