About Us

 Creative Spirit Counseling:

 

Particitpate in dialogue about spiritual dimensions of life, clarify your unique Sense of Spirit, and gently explore alternative techniques to help you make meaning out of your current circumstance and become empowered to live a more fully authentic life.

Some sessions will be just talk therapy, while other sessions I will invite you into guided meditation, breath work, art making, creating symbolic worlds, movement, music, and writing to express and process your thoughts and emotions.  These activities will help you confront negative thoughts, release stuck emotions and discover new perspectives about your life circumstances.

Explore emotions in a safe space.

Sometimes we have a difficult time interpreting or describing how we are feeling. Creative Spirit Counseling can help you express how you feel in verbal and non-verbal ways. You will learn more about your Inner Self and gain clarity about your life circumstances.

No previous therapy, artistic talent, or art experience is required to experience the benefits of Creative Spirit Counseling's approach to healing.

Creative Spirit Counseling methods combined with talk therapy are useful for an array of presenting emotional struggles, healing perfectionism, past traumas, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

The Creative process is the spiritual and therapeutic path to experience release, cultivate emotional health and inspire a more meaningful life.

Counselor

Just like you, I am Creative Spirit.  

I function as a licensed professional counselor, expressive arts therapist, artist, wife, mother, daughter of generations, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and  "hue-woman being."​

These roles are purposed for my own spiritual development and awakening.​

I am most passionate about helping people remember, rediscover and liberate their inner essence, Creative Spirit. 

Most of my life I had to learn the hard way. Once I rediscovered my unique Sense of Spirit (being a creative),  I let go of relying on hard lessons to teach me how to live a more peaceful, spiritual life. 

This world is full of distraction, competition, comparing, toxic ambition, disillusionment and instant gratification.  I want to use my passion to help others liberate their Creative Spirit to create more peace inside themselves and in the world. 

I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years as a group home counselor, homeless outreach worker, substance abuse counselor, intensive in home family therapist for juvenile offenders, and community mental health therapist.  I am a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. In 2012, I started a private practice in St. Louis, MO.  In 2018, I moved the practice to Savannah, GA. 

My mission is to help you rediscover your sense of spirit and live optimally by providing a non-judgmental and nurturing therapeutic space to express your full self.
