Making the decision to start therapy is a monumental step in one's healing journey. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and collaborative environment where clients can explore both the pleasant and unpleasant parts of life and make long-lasting changes that lead to a more fulfilling life. Utilizing a holistic approach to therapy, I honor the mental, physical, and spiritual components of our being. I believe the client is the expert of their experience and my role is to support them through their self-healing and discovery.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) whose combined expertise in the areas of social work and mental health span over a decade. Prior to becoming an LPC, I dedicated over eleven years as a social worker with the State of Georgia providing social work services to children and adults across the state of Georgia. As a social worker, I provided skilled services in the areas of therapeutic foster care, child adoption, and child abuse investigation.

My goal as a therapist is to offer a safe environment for my clients to discover past trauma, as it related to present personal difficulties. Additionally, my clients are encouraged to discover healthier coping strategies to deal with present life stressors. It is important to me that my clients feel respected and understood in the process of self discovery and self development. My therapy treatment methods include: person-centered, systemic, behavioral, assigned readings, strategic, and brief. Ideally, for effective treatment, my clients are willing to attend therapy on a regular basis and are willing to be open and honest.

We all want to feel empowered to deal with the problems life naturally throws at us. We feel empowered when we are in control and manage our lives in the way we want. In order to take control of our lives, we need to have a greater awareness of how our personal attributes and experiences influence the way we respond to what happens in our lives; our strengths, weaknesses, and our underlying motivations and barriers to how we solve life problems. Because we are complex and unique, we need to find our own unique path to building an empowered life.

I have over 15 years of experience treating children, couples and families using an integrated approach based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and family systems theories. My primary interests are in communication, self-expression, self-esteem, anxiety and behavior problems. I served as the Student and Associate Chair of the Georgia Association of Marriage and Family Therapists from 2009 -2012. I am the founder of Adaptive Therapy Counseling Group, LLC in Lilburn and Alpharetta, where I have treated individuals and families suffering from eating disorders, anxiety disorders and mood disorders for over 10 years.

My approach is grounded in creating an atmosphere of acceptance, non-judgment, and trust in order to facilitate an authentic therapeutic relationship in which one may discover strengths and self-value. By promoting a safe arena for self-reflection and by challenging core beliefs that may no longer serve a positive purpose, I assist clients in finding new ways of relating to others in order to create more satisfying relationships in all areas of their lives. My experience includes working with families in the aftermath of trauma, assisting them in utilizing their strengths to acclimate to their new circumstances, and navigate common life transitions.

I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological, psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations. I conduct state-of-the-art assessments for ADHD, Learning Disabilities (e.g., Dyslexia), depression, anxiety, TBI, PTSD, OCD, ODD, autism, neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disorders, personality disorders, etc. Two of the objective assessment tools I use for assessing attention and concentration are the TOVA and the Qb Test. I can assess the effects of medication to treat ADHD, assessing attention off medication vs. assessing attention on medication. I can work with your physician to tritrate the dose.

I love working with children, adults and families of all kinds. Individuals and families who are navigating the impacts of change, ability/disability, loss, divorce or simply feeling disconnected can get stuck. Seeking support and finding time to dedicate to therapy is a brave first step in determining your course, and I honor you for it. I welcome people of all backgrounds in my practice and have experience working with diverse populations such as individuals with different abilities/disabilities including autism, the LGBT community and immigrants.

Life can be difficult; we can help. Our practice is different. We focus on helping people use their own strengths to find real solutions to problems. You can expect acceptance and caring at McConaghie Counseling, but we go beyond that to provide the expertise and guidance you need to make your life and relationships better.

I believe we all have a path and purpose in life. Sometime we need help to overcome obstacles that block our way. As a counselor, I thoughtfully utilize 30 plus years of experience as a counselor to partner with my clients to discover or renew their strength, courage and options to continue their life journey. I realize that one single method will not work for everyone. Therefore, we work together to set individualized goals to build a plan for success. If you need help to develop and build upon skills to manage life's challenges, please feel free to call.
