My calling is to serve children and adults who deal with a variety of emotional and behavioral imbalances due to psychological trauma or other stressors. As a trauma and DBT-certified therapist, I work with my clients toward the restoration of their emotional wellness by integrating aspects of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapies (DBT), as well as ART therapy, play therapy, and mind-body practices. I also provide court-ordered reunification therapy, group therapy, and clinical diagnostic evaluations and assessments. Currently offering FREE clinical assessment for self-pay therapy clients.

Divorce, job loss, chronic illness - these all can cause tremendous distress. Even daily stressors, the ones you think you can handle, can become overwhelming and throw your life and health out of balance. Therapy can help! Therapy can also be highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and other emotional disorders (and reduce the chance the same problem will return in the future). I have been licensed as a Psychologist (Ph.D.) since 1993 and I am currently in private practice in Buford, Georgia. I offer services for adults and adolescents (18+) using a variety of approaches (primarily cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy).
