Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

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.

It doesn’t feel good to not feel ok. Feelings of stress, anxiousness, and overall discontentment can negatively impact your entire life. When things get like this, work can become hard, school may not be helpful or enjoyable, and relationships might be difficult to navigate. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Starting therapy with a qualified therapist can provide you with the help you need, and I can help you take that first step.

Welcome! My practice is open during early EVENING hours to accommodate after school schedules. I have been fortunate to have 19 years of counseling experience in both the school setting and the private sector, working with children ranging in ages 5-18, adults, and with families. While working with children and adolescents, I believe that the family dynamic is an extremely important part of the therapeutic process, and will often involve parents and siblings in therapy when it is helpful. I also work with parents who need support with parenting help in many different scenarios (toddlers to teens).

Children, teens and families are our passion and describe our ideal clientele. Your parenting instincts tell you something has changed with your child. You wonder is it something with school, friends, or a stressor that you have no idea about. Perhaps, your family unit has gone through major change or loss. Your desire is to have your child be back to their best self. You've tried everything you can think of in your parenting arsenal; long talks, together time, consequences and for some reason the issue is still there. As parents we don't always have all the answers and it is ok to reach out for help!

Are you currently struggling with discovering who you are or what you want in life? Is finding an affirming transgender LGBTQ+ therapist something you've been searching for? I specialize in working with transgender adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with their identity or with navigating past traumas associated with identity discovery. You may be seeking a safe and affirming space to help process and heal past traumas, learn how to navigate distressing emotions, and start your healing journey.

Throughout my career, I have dedicated my practice to serving adults, adolescents, and families who identify as queer and/or transgender/non-binary. In addition, I also provide play therapy services to children (5-10 years-old) and their families who are experiencing emotional and behavioral regulation concerns. It is my philosophy that we are never too young or too old to begin our journey through growth, healing, and self-discovery. Using therapeutic practices that are centered around mind-body connections and trauma informed care, I would love to be a part of you or your child's journey towards wellness.

My ideal client is someone who is grappling with complex emotional experiences, including issues related to grief, sexual abuse or violence, as well as anxiety or depression. They may have experienced profound losses or traumatic events that have deeply impacted their lives and well-being. Their needs include a safe and non-judgmental space where they can openly share their pain, process their emotions, and heal from the wounds they carry. They require compassionate support, validation, and guidance to navigate through the intricate layers of their grief and trauma. Their goals involve finding a path toward healing and restoration.

I take a creative and person-centered approach to therapy. I love to work with people from diverse backgrounds to empower them through the use of art and talk therapy. I believe in working with you - the individual - to find the form of expression that benefits you most. We can adapt our plan of care to serve your unique needs, strengths, and desires for treatment. Perhaps you've found yourself doubting your life's direction. My passion comes from helping my clients create a new way forward through a collaborative approach. Let's make a commitment to building up your true, authentic self.
