Welcome to Lullwater Counseling
I offer psychotherapy to individuals and couples in Decatur, Georgia. I am dedicated to an integral healing approach attending to the emotional, relational, intellectual, spiritual and physical aspects of life. If you find yourself in a period of stress and anxiety, depression, transition, relationship distress or needing support and understanding for painful emotional experiences, I can help.
I specialize in couples therapy and have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EFCT is a well-researched therapy model developed by Dr. Sue Johnson that enables couples to heal pain and distress and regain feelings of closeness, safety and connection to one another.
Individuals
It is a privilege for me to help clients work their way through difficult feelings, conflicted relationships, and painful experiences. I am a professional who is dedicated to fostering a trusting alliance based in empathy and unconditional positive regard for the healing and well-being of my clients. This therapeutic bond combined with formidable training in multiple models of psychotherapy provides effective treatment.
Couples
The basis of EFCT, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is Attachment Theory which states that we all need to feel close, safe, secure and connected to our partner for overall well being – emotionally, physically and spiritually . When that attachment bond is threatened or becomes insecure we can have strong negative reactions and if these reactions persist we create self-defeating negative patterns of interaction that are difficult to break. EFT is a light in the darkness in healing these negative cycles of interaction.
