Her goal is to assist adults (of any age) to meet their personal emotional, psychological and social goals in order to live with satisfaction in the present moment and beyond. This often involves self reflection, courage, determination and the desire to experience and ‘live in’ our strength capacities in order to let go of the things that are no longer working for us.
Georgia’s primary focus is assisting persons to work with and move through anxiety, depression, their own internal conflict, external relational conflicts and the experiences of trauma (both adverse life events and life-threatening ones). In short, her goal is to help people gain clarity and satisfaction in their lives.
She uses the following modalities (and more) to work with clients – as an active participant in their own healing process:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Satir Family Systems
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
Mindfulness and body-based awareness
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
