PTSD/Trauma
Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I look at each individual through a trauma informed lens and that means that I don’t ask the question “what is wrong with you?” but instead I ask “what happened to you?”
Trauma shapes how we view ourselves in the world and sometimes it teaches us to believe that we are the problem. I think if we can find out what taught us to believe that it is our fault or we are the one responsible for everybody’s well-being or we are bad, then we can work to reshape that belief.

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
