I enjoy working with relationship issues, stress and anxiety, panic attacks, teenage/college students and parenting challenges.
My practice partners with clients who are looking for something different than the "more of the same" approach. There is no " how does that make you feel", instead I use a proactive collaborative partnership with you to make quick and effective change. I work with individuals, children, couples and families & a wide variety of challenges. My goal is to work with my clients to rapidly achieve their goals and have them "fire me" as soon as possible! Want a taste of how I work, check out my You Winning Life Podcast!

Sandy Springs, GA 30350
Clinical treatment is designed for individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Our mission is simple…to help our clients move from pain and suffering to hope, resilience and freedom. Pain is an inevitable part of the human existence. Throughout our life, we naturally experience loss, rejection, defeat, physical and emotional pain. For many, pain and trauma experiences in life can be overwhelming. While we can’t go through life without experiencing pain, we do have a choice about how we’ll respond to it. As Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl stated, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

That's why the therapeutic relationship is so important.

Now I want to continue this passion in a counseling setting. I have sat where I will ask you to sit. I don't believe I can be effective for you if I have not been a client too. I welcome everyone who wants to become more aware of why they do what they do. There are always reasons for unwanted behavior. I can help you unravel this puzzle.

I have experience workings with individuals, families, and couples.
I have counseled for over 19 years and have found that, as individuals reflect on their lives, it seems as if the story they are living, is not the story they had hoped to find themselves in. Do you struggle with heartache from the past or even anxiety promoted by an uncertain future that affects your relationships or distorts your view of yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted just thinking about getting through the day? Do you wonder if your life will ever be better? Watching God use brokenness to move people toward redemption and wholeness is one of my greatest privileges as a therapist.

Finding the right practitioner; when it comes to your emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs; can be challenging because you may not know what you should be considering during this search. Select a professional who is not only compassionate and passionate about their work and the people they serve, but also someone who knows the element of strength and perseverance personally. Stress can have a huge impact on the way we function in the various domains of our lives and this can sometimes send us down the rabbit hole of doubt. In order to truly accept yourself you must discover the elements of your becoming.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
