Clinical Training & Therapy Style
My clinical training began with a Master of Social Work, with a clinical concentration, from the University of Georgia. Over a decade later I completed a Master of Christian Thought at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC.
I am comprehensively trained and certified in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and comprehensively trained in DBT (a research-based therapy for managing intense emotions).
My therapy approach includes, primarily, education, coaching and support. I provide lots of psychoeducation & teach skills that are practiced both in and out of sessions. I am intentional about fostering a safe and supportive space where these things can take root and relationships can grow.
My demeanor is warm, engaging and energetic. I adapt therapy to work with many personality styles.
