Hiiii, I'm Ibbie!
I’m here to help you uncover & heal whatever it is that may be holding you back from having happy, healthy relationships.
I’m the go-to gal when it comes to healing the cycles of toxic love, situationships, attachment traumas, codependency, trauma bonds, and all the things we don’t want to experience in relationships.
I have dedicated myself to learning everything I can about the cycles that keep people stuck in these unhealthy patterns (often related to abandonment wounds of some sort), and provide them with the tools and strategies for self-love, healing, and creating a protective shield to NEVER tolerate less than the best EVER again.
I firmly believe that everyone deserves to experience happy, healthy love in a way that resonates with their unique journey.
Just as we invest time and effort into excelling in other areas of our lives, such as academics, careers, and physical health, we should also prioritize learning the essential skills for nurturing fulfilling relationships.
Healing attachment/relational traumas, mastering effective communication, understanding our attachment styles, and cultivating self-love and acceptance are all fundamental aspects of personal development that directly impact the quality of our connections with others.
Relationships lie at the heart of human existence and deserve to be approached with care and intentionality.
“The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships”

As for the credentials and educational stuff:
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (in Georgia) and Certified Dating/Relationship Coach (worldwide).
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Public Health and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a PhD candidate studying the lived experiences of individuals with a history of dismissive avoidant attachment who have earned attachment security. (Yes, I’m an attachment-style junkie and I’d love to tell you all about it.)
My ongoing research includes learning how manipulation and toxic love affects the brain and overall well-being and what to do about it.
I absolutely love what I do and am deeply passionate about this relational space. I am always eager to learn more, actively pursuing further education and specialized courses to expand my expertise and better serve my clients.
Let's embark on a journey of growth and discovery together, where we'll explore the intricacies of relationships and empower you to become the best version of yourself in love and connection.
Because when it comes to matters of the heart, you deserve nothing less than the BEST!
