Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Athens, GA

I provide compassionate, faith-integrated counseling for Christian women seeking help with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, rejection, low self-esteem, emotional wounds, and narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships.

My approach integrates Christian faith with evidence-based counseling, including spiritually informed CBT and DBT principles. I help women understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, trauma, and spiritual beliefs while learning practical skills for healing and healthy change.

Areas of focus include:

• Depression and anxiety
• Relationship difficulties
• Narcissistic abuse and emotionally abusive relationships
• Rejection and abandonment wounds
• Low self-esteem and shame
• Codependency and people-pleasing
• Trauma bonds and unhealthy attachment
• Boundaries and assertiveness
• Emotional and spiritual abuse
• Divorce and relationship recovery
• Stress and emotional overwhelm
• Identity and self-worth
• Christian faith and emotional healing

My practice is fully virtual, serving clients throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nevada. I begin sessions with prayer and include biblical integration, along with practical tools and worksheets to support growth between sessions.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults and couples navigate relationship difficulties, trauma and PTSD, and women’s and maternal mental health. I have a special interest in infertility and TTC, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, postpartum concerns, and the transition to motherhood. I also work extensively with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions.

Hello and welcome! If you're feeling anxious or disconnected from yourself, I'd be happy to support you on your counseling journey. I work with adults and children in navigating family transitions like divorce or co-parenting, healing from emotionally complicated or absent parent relationships, managing relationship and dating patterns, identity development, and building healthier connections. I'm a dedicated master's-level therapist with expertise in EMDR, REBT, Solution-Focused, and Gestalt therapy. As a certified 200-hr RYT, I integrate yoga and meditation to enhance healing, balance, and well-being.

I’ve been trained extensively in EMDR. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process experiences. It works by engaging bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements and tapping leading to reduced emotional impact and improved mental well-being.

My practice extends to navigating the complexities of childhood trauma, offering support for both emotional and physical well-being. Additionally, I provide a compassionate approach to help you overcome life's challenges. Let's work together to build resilience and create positive change in your life.

I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, who strongly believes mental wellness is the framework for a well-balanced a healthy lifestyle. The most challenging part is asking for help and you've jumped that hurdle. I have been in nursing for over 10 years with a background in med-surg, cardio telemetry, emergency medicine and psychiatric care. Regardless of the setting, I have witnessed many patients struggle, but most importantly, I have also witnessed patients pull-through and overcome. I've treated patients with substance abuse disorders, anxiety, depression, and a list of others.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen without having to over-explain yourself. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your relationships, and move through life with greater self-trust and ease.
