Mental Health Therapist - (at Grounded Wellbeing)
M.Ed. Georgia - APC applied; Supervisor Ecclesia Savage - LPC01467

Empathy, safety and care are essential to me throughout the healing journey. I hold myself and my clients accountable to the goals we set together, approaching our work with diligence, consideration, and grace. Our therapeutic space is a collaborative one, and I adapt my techniques to meet your specific needs. However, one thing remains constant: my unwavering commitment to giving my best to help you become the best version of yourself.

As a scientist-practitioner, I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Liberation Psychology. Guided by principles of social justice, I strongly believe in the concepts of HAES (health at every size), I am kink/sex positive and strive to create an inclusive environment for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to Black, Indigenous, POC, LGBTQIA+, and Neurodiverse communities. I am also dedicated to supporting individuals exploring and processing trauma, faith deconstruction and religious trauma, substance use, men’s issues, LGBTQ+ identity development, transitions (gender and life), racial identity development, self-esteem, and ADHD/Autism. For couples work I am affirming to both monogamous and polyamorous couples.

I am intuitive and open to addressing what you bring to our sessions. My ultimate goal is to help you feel empowered with the necessary coping skills to live a value-oriented, meaningful life. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, joy, peace, and mental wellness.
