Adults Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

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.

Beginning this journey is an initial step to a positive lifestyle. Whether you are looking for guidance with relationships, careers, parenting, academic concerns, emotional well-being, or processing trauma, I am here to help! Through utilizing a person-centered and strengths-based approach, my goal is to ensure you are confident and ready to engage in the therapeutic process. Empowering you through goal setting helps develop your skills, strengths and overall growth. This is achieved by creating an atmosphere where you feel comfortable approaching your needs based on an individualized plan of treatment we will create together.

As a Nationally Certified Counselor, I rely on evidence-based practices like Brainspotting and Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT), to help children, adults , and families heal from the past, find stability in the present and hope for the future. My training and experience includes working with the effects of trauma (PTSD) and stressful experiences (e.g. emotional and sexual abuse, emotional and physical affairs, divorce, family conflict, work stress, medical etc). I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, Maternal Mental Health, self-harm, behavior disorders and Insomnia.

I work with couples, individuals and families. My specialties include relationship struggles, grief and loss, blended families, boundaries, and launching young adults . My strengths rest in the ability to help you successfully navigate the challenges that may be encountered during life's struggles. Life transitions can be difficult. These stages may include: marriage and remarriage, family creation and blending, young adult children who are launching and becoming independent, parent's struggling with how to fill their "empty nest," and adult children caring for their elderly parents.

I believe that all humans have intrinsic value and desire love and acceptance. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their journey to rediscovering joy and healing and one of my main goals in therapy is to create an environment where one feels heard and respected. Taking into account that a client's past experiences, emotions, and patterns in relationships have shaped their belief about themselves and the rest of the world, I work with clients to help them become the experts in their own life.

Many in today's world are looking for answers to difficult questions. They want to know how to handle the problems they face within their marriages and with their children. Marriages are falling apart because couples lack the skill to communicate their deepest needs. Parents and their children fall into a similar trap and are losing their connections to one another. If you are angry and worried about your future and are losing hope, I urge you to seek help. I offer help from a Christian perspective in marriage and parenting.

My approach to therapy incorporates positive, goal-oriented psychology and elements of theoretical approaches to help people heal and transform their lives for the better. I believe that true “wellness” is found when each domain of our lives is in equilibrium and moving in a positive direction, together. My goal as a therapist is to help clients find a balance of healing, purpose, and direction through integrative approaches. I currently accept children (ages 5 and above), adolescents, adults and pre-marital couples and couples seeking marital enrichment.

I have over 25 years working in the field of psychology. I believe that the key to most emotional and psychological problems lies in relationships, those in the past and in the present. I believe conscious and unconscious behavior patterns can cause difficulties in life, and these behavior problems can be changed or modified. My approach is eclectic , and I use various modalities within a psychodynamic framework. I am also trained as a trauma specialist and EMDR therapist. I believe trauma can keep people stuck in behaviors and emotional dysfunction and EMDR is a highly effective way of reprocessing "stuck" trauma.

Whether you enter into therapy to work on specific issues or to find support for daily life challenges, you will be met with an environment of respect, empathy, and non-judgement. I provide a safe, comfortable place to explore whatever is happening in your life from acute trauma to long-term maintenance for recurring issues.

Do you want to be listened to without criticism, judgment, or feelings of rejection? Most people do! But do you desire something more? When most people enter therapy, what they often truly desire is change. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are seeking while enjoying the process as much as possible. Simply said, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe even a deep breath) to reach out and see how I can help.

Welcome! My practice is open during early EVENING hours to accommodate all schedules. I have been fortunate to have 16 years of counseling experience in both the school setting and the private sector. I have had the pleasure of working with clients ranging in ages 4-18, 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. One of my specialties is working with parents to help with parenting struggles-- from the very young ages to teen years.

I work with adults going through various life and relationship transitions, and those dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression related to these changes. I also work with clients who would like to improve self-care, compassion, and self-worth.
