Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

Welcome! If you've landed here, you're probably someone that can identify with feeling stuck in life, battling stress, anxiety or depression, or wanting to strengthen relationships. I'm a laid back therapist whose goal is to provide a comfortable environment to people like you that is empathic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. As a certified Brainspotting (BSP) therapist with extensive training, I can help you identify, process, and release emotional and physical sources of trauma, both big and small. BSP is an excellent tool for performance enhancement as well.

Taking the first step to counseling is not an easy one. I am glad you are here! It truly brings me so much joy to walk alongside clients and their families as they work towards healing, freedom, and personal growth. My goal is to build a caring, nonjudgmental environment to ensure that everyone who enters my office feels accepted and safe.

Video sessions available. Live the life you have always imagined! Choosing the right counselor for your needs is a big step; one that takes courage. I treat each person and their concerns with respect, confidentiality, and non-judgmentally. I am dedicated to helping you find solutions, healing past traumas and strengthening individuals, families, and couples with their life changes and challenges in a comfortable and supportive environment. I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both GA and NJ.

Client's best suited to my specialties and approach are those that are honest, open-minded and willing to do the work needed to bring about healing and change. I am comfortable working with clients of any religion, spirituality, ethnicity, nationality, culture, accent, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, ability, disability, education level or lack thereof, political preference, style of speech and any kind of background, as long as they are over the age of 18. I have the most training and experience with victims of any kind of abuse and/or trauma, as well as those with substance abuse issues.

I am a clinically licensed Master Social Worker who specializes in ART, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, codependency and trauma work. I work with people around major life changes and losses to help them recover their sense of themselves and to be able to imagine a path forward with hope and resilience. In this busy world, it is often difficult to find others who have the time, the inclination or the skills to listen. It can be helpful to have someone with a calm, quiet presence outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming, and reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process. I applaud you for taking the steps toward your healing. Many of my clients are women who struggle with anxiety, inadequacy, and people pleasing. They may get fixated on the uncertainty of the future or feel stuck in past pain. It might be difficult to ask for what they need in relationships, instead trying to make everyone around them happy. They come to therapy in order to heal from their past. They seek to be empowered, feel confident and satisfied in their lives and relationships. If you're wanting to find freedom from anxiety, OCD, perfectionism or past trauma, I can help.

If you are ready to establish life-changing habits to help cope with any of life’s various obstacles, your journey starts here! Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or a stressful change in your life, we strive to bring clarity and peace of mind. Our goal is to provide you with tools and skills to bring balance to any imbalanced areas in your life. We believe in order to treat a person effectively you need to consider their circumstances holistically.

I work with adult women that are looking to take the first step in their emotional healing journey. I also work with women that are in, or are considering, a life transition. Additionally, I work with women who are experiencing anxiety and depression, or may be struggling with other life issues that feel overwhelming.

Life's emotional challenges can sometimes interfere with our ability to maintain a productive and fulfilling life. It can be difficult and frightening to reach out for help. But you have already shown strength and courage by taking the first step towards a healthy and balanced life. With a focus on strengths rather than weakness, I am motivated to help clients recognize how their past experiences are connected with their current concerns. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from their traumatic experiences. Trauma hides in plain sight and disguises itself in many forms.

Has everything looked like it’s going well on the outside, but inside you feel like you’re hanging on by a thread? Do you see yourself as “the fixer” or “the caretaker” with your loved ones, but feel as though you don’t have any energy left when it comes to taking care of yourself? Does it feel selfish to take care of yourself? Reaching out is a big first step in prioritizing your needs. I am committed to supporting you with warmth and compassion every step along the way. Together we can examine ways your old narrative no longer serves you and help foster a more peaceful and purposeful way of living.

I think we can all agree that the stages of life starting in middle school and going through young adulthood are difficult and often very confusing. I would love to work with you and help guide you through any of these stages as you make decisions about your future, your friendships, and your relationships.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a dark place where we feel alone, helpless, and hopeless about ourselves and our future. In times like these it is easy to think that you are worthless and no one can understand what you are going through or fathom the heaviness inside of you. As a counselor, I take great pride in being able to sit down in your hole with you and slowly work our way back out together. I know that seeking help when we feel so vulnerable and hurt is not easy, sometimes you may even think that no one really cares so why bother reaching out anyway. I want you to know that you are not alone and I assure you I care about you.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, frightened, or defeated by the challenges you are facing in your life. Maybe you’ve tried it all and you don’t know where to go from here? That’s where I come in. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process and the impact that therapy can have on people’s lives. At the heart of my work is empowering my clients to embrace their unique strengths and gifts, step into their authentic being, and gain self-acceptance and internal peace.

I specialize in working with children/ teens/ adults struggling with problems that interfere with social, emotional, behavioral and academic functioning. I believe in a collaborative, down to earth, child-centered and child-friendly, non-judgmental, compassionate and strengths perspective approach when working with children and families in need. My focus will be on building a strong and trusting relationship where your child and family can share openly and work towards healing. I believe in not only addressing problems in goal oriented ways, but also to build on your child's and your family strengths in meeting your therapy goals.

Often I work with teens, college students or adults who are experiencing depression, social anxiety, transition, or grief. My clients are often isolated and lacking strong social connections, either by choice or because they feel rejected. For my clients, I try to center my work around logic, common sense and a supportive, trusting relationship. Many people find relief in just being able to tell someone what they're thinking without judgement.
