Authentic Living through Healing, Knowing, and Growing

Aligning with your authenticity unlocks your peace, passion, and power.  However, this key of knowing  your true self and courageously living a life that reflects that somehow gets lost along the way.  You still have your own unique key within you waiting to be found.

We spend sessions exploring what needs to be healed, learned, and grown in you to find your key and have the courage to make choices aligned with your authenticity.  I offer personalized perspective-changing processes through enjoyable, insightful, and intuitive interaction. My nearly 20 years of clinical experience as a licensed psychotherapist also provides a firm foundation for further personal exploration.  

Teaching high school English lead to writing instructional materials and designing human-centered software for adults.  I then wanted to teach in more depth and began practicing holistic psychotherapy.  I'm grateful for my unique progression and blend of experience, knowledge, and approaches. I work creatively and intuitively with all 4 human "bodies": mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.  

Depending on client interest and need, our work may include and draw from: psychotherapeutic/spiritual exploration, shadow work, meditation/visualization, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, EFT, energy psychology, personality drive integration using Enneagram, Human Design and the Gene Keys,  card drawings, intuition, and Reiki. 

An English major, I took an elective Sociology class from a retired police officer professor.  His street-wise stories and compelling compassion persuaded me to earn BA in Sociology as well.  I then earned my Master in Teaching from Emory University (1993) to teach high school English for a year before taking. my writing, teaching, and communication skills to the emerging software industry in the 90s.  While rewarding, I wanted to have deeper impact on people's lives.  After benefiting from therapy myself, I was so inspired by what I had healed, learned, and how I had grown that I decided to change careers and become a therapist myself.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia (2003).  In addition, I have 25 years in shadow work, metaphysics, the Enneagram, and am a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner.  I have completed all coursework through IITAP International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals.
