Therapists in Smyrna, GA

It can be difficult to be human at times. Life can be full of so many losses and challenges, and with busy and demanding schedules, it may not feel like there's any time to process what you’ve gone through. Maybe you’ve found yourself masking and suppressing your real feelings, and as a result, you don’t feel as connected and fulfilled with yourself and your world. In our work together, you're free to explore your emotions and seek deeper insight into who you are. I prefer to think of my role as that of a lantern, bringing to light aspects that you may not have realized and that may be limiting you from leading the life you desire.

I enjoy working with clients who are processing life transitions, need support through academic and professional difficulties, and desire holistic mental health support.

Choosing to go to therapy can be a difficult decision, yet it can be a catalyst for positive change.

I work with people across the lifespan (5+) and see clients experiencing a wide array of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and low self-esteem.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I also work with adults. While post-graduate training, and teaching, have increased my skills, what makes me a good therapist are the beliefs I hold dear. I believe in people and their ability to heal and thrive.

My goal as a counselor is to help children, teens and young adults UNLEARN how to be their own worst enemies. Perhaps they're inflexible and always want things their way, leading to strained relationships with family and friends. Or they worry so much that it doesn't seem like they are fully living life anymore. Maybe their self esteem is so low, they've lost sight of what makes them a beautiful being. Childhood and adolescence is a time when a person learns about themselves and the world around them. I aim to meet a client where they are and understand how they view both themselves and the world. Then can change begin to occur.
