Welcome! As a Licensed Professional Counselor of 12 years, my theoretical orientation/approach for care is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I will join with you in this part of your life journey to explore thoughts, feelings, and behavioral responses that may involve how you process information, feel as a person and/or within your relationships, and resolve conflict for restoration of hope and personal growth and development. Although I can assist you in many different areas of concern, I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, and stress; and, conflict resolution within relationships.

All to often individual’s, couples and families view therapy as a one and done, one-sided conversation where all their problems can be solved quickly. Life is hard enough and when you add depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, grief, eating disorders, addiction or other life controlling issues to your daily life the day ahead often seems impossible. The key is finding your voice and learning how to use it to achieve your dreams, goals, hopes and desires so you can live your best life, the life you have always wanted. Discovering want it means to be real and authentic makes the process of staying stuck where you are more difficult.

We all have emotional wounds from the past. Left untreated, these experiences can harm us mentally, affect our relationships and make us unhappy. Therapy can help you explore, understand and ultimately heal by addressing the painful memories broken hearts, resentments, worries, and regrets that are often the root cause of the problem. By allowing ourselves to heal and grow, this experiences can also become sources of strengths and wisdom. I offer over a decade of experience as a clinical psychologist, helping people plant the seeds of change.

I see children, adolescents, and adults for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The concerns and desires of my clients are the heart of my practice. I provide a space for each individual to speak freely and confidentially, and I listen in a way that allows the course of treatment to be oriented to each individual. I work with all ages beginning with children at age 4. I specialize in working with Complex Trauma, PTSD, anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders (includes depression), and issues with identity and sexuality. I work with individuals and couples.

I am so glad that you are here and seeking change. Connection is the cornerstone of good therapy, and as a person, I am very compassionate, warm and engaging. I work with high achieving, highly driven, people who would like to deepen their experience of connection in life; both to themselves and others. No matter how our lives appear on the outside, many of us feel emotionally lonely and emotionally unsatisfied. I believe that through understanding and awareness, we can move towards becoming our true selves and experience life more deeply. We can learn to connect more fully with ourselves and others and transform our lives.

Connection & Sense of Belonging: We all want to be accepted and know we matter. Challenging life experiences disrupt these connections and leave you feeling isolated and alone. My first priority is creating a meaningful relationship through respect and non-judgement by listen to your story and what brings you to seek support and guidance. People I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, and often have negative core beliefs from past experiences that inform present decisions and actions. I help people find relief and re-define beliefs in a more positive direction.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and/or an eating disorder? Are these issues affecting your relationships? Within the therapeutic relationship, I want to be able to provide a level of comfort that will allow you to be able to explore unwanted thoughts. These thoughts may be affecting your emotional state, and ultimately intruding on your day to day performances. Because these feelings can be difficult to understand and even express to others, many individuals from all ages can feel alone in the process.

Change can be so difficult, uncomfortable, and even painful. You've tried to make a difference in your life, but without the results you want. Maybe you've stalled for too long in making a life-changing decision. You wonder, "What's wrong with me? I haven't changed yet!" Nothing is wrong with you. I use evidenced-based treatments with a team approach to help people cross the bridge to the life they want. My practice is in "The Queen Building" at The Concourse Corporate Center in the Perimeter area of Atlanta near GA-400 and I-285.

I offer different types of therapeutic avenues to explore, rework, release and address challenges old or new. We decide the timetable and scope of therapy together whether very focused change is desired or more in depth reworking is wanted. Some people also use therapy to maintain positive gains and have a unique place to speak/ find the truth in a safe, trusting environment. The focus is on enhancing and building on strengths to realize potential based on needs. I use brainspotting, polyvagal informed therapy (Unyte/ILS listening system) and IFS(Internal Family Systems) to deeply and often more rapidly release blocked/frozen issues

My job is about hope. Many of my former clients tell me that they were surprised and relieved to feel so much better after therapy. They were unsure if they would ever find relief from the challenges they had. That is why I do what I do. It is a joy to share in that journey of healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my clients process and move forward from their traumatic experiences. I love using play and expressive arts to engage children and adolescents. I also have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with eating disorders and self harm.

I currently offer only Telehealth if you reside in CA and GA, and can compassionately meet you where you are at by providing a safe and supportive space. Many come to therapy to learn new ways to manage anxiety, depression, stress, or find ways to create fulfillment and connection in life again. Together we can explore ineffective patterns, and work on strengthening coping , communication, problem solving skills, self compassion, as well as ways to deepen relationships for lasting change.

First of all, thank you for viewing my profile! I want to help! I can assist you as you explore your life experiences and relationships to come to a fuller understanding of yourself and others. I believe that therapy is most beneficial when it is active, structured, and goal-directed, which means you play a critical part in the therapeutic process. Therapy is effective and rewarding when your personal and relationship goals are clear and obtainable. I can help you clarify your goals and help you reach them in a way in which you feel capable, comfortable, and confident.

The focus of my therapy practice is based on the premise that our past, present situations, and future aspirations strongly influence our interactions with our environment. As we evolve and confront challenges, it is crucial to recognize our past, adapt to our present surroundings, and modify our perceptions and behavior so we may reach our full potential. My aim is to assist clients in exploring emotions, promoting self-reflection, developing positive methods of communication, and enhancing the foundations that will support life-long relationships and improve the overall quality of life.

Throughout life, we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are at and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest themselves in the form of depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, self-esteem/self-confidence issues, or unresolved grief and trauma, to name a few. Gaining a better understanding of who we are as individuals is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our personal and social lives. I work with individuals in a collaborative process to explore these obstacles, challenge old patterns and beliefs, and find new ways of thinking and being.

As a therapist with experience in substance abuse and addiction, I specialize in working with adults experiencing active addiction and early recovery from addiction, as well as family members and loved ones who are affected by someone's drinking or substance use. In addition to these areas, I also help people experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Men's Issues, Anger Management, and other Interpersonal Issues.

Does life sometimes look different than you expected it to be? Do you wonder about your life purpose or what gives you value? Or question about where you fit in the world? Perhaps you might even be feeling more anxious about your future lately. We all wrestle with our identity and challenge our self-worth when difficult times emerge in our lives. Some of us struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, or life stage issues and need someone to walk with us and help us navigate during those times. I would love to journey with you through the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of your life.
