Codependency Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

Relationship counseling and career counseling. Career and relationships. Focusing on these two areas allows me to help you in these important parts of your life. Clients tell me that I understand what they are going through. Maybe like you, I have experienced some "turbulence" in my career and stressful times in my relationship. If you can't find a meaningful job, or if you're troubled by your relationship with a loved one -- partner, child, sibling, or parent -- I feel I can help. I would enjoy speaking with you, too!

Are you feeling disconnected from the people around you? Frustrated with problematic behaviors that you cannot seem to change? Tired of being paralyzed and held back by anxiety? Counseling can be an opportunity to enrich your life, gain deeper personal understanding, and make meaningful changes. My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I can work with you to reach your goals in a way that empowers and instills hope. Together we can find the tools that work best for your life, so that you can continue to experience progress and fulfillment long after our counseling relationship has come to a close.

Sometimes we just need a safe place where we can be ourselves and work on our own healing-whatever it may be. Beginning therapy can be scary for some people and I believe in meeting people where they are to build a safe space where they can work on life issues.

We’ve been hearing for years from clients about how their previous therapist was a good listener, but they didn’t feel like they made much progress. While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. We believe what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. Additionally, we provide psychological evaluations for children and adults looking for diagnostic clarity to guide treatment recommendations.

You're looking for inner peace but something's missing. You secretly feel unfulfilled or disconnected. You ask yourself, "Shouldn't I be happier and life more meaningful?" Many of the clients I work with have these questions which are prompted by an invisible force at work. You may blame yourself for whatever doesn't feel right and have symptoms like depression, problems in your relationship, anxiety, and anger; you feel stuck and overwhelmed. I'd love to help you begin or continue your journey of personal growth so that you can get in touch with your true emotional needs.

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.

I provide comprehensive counseling services for individuals, families and couples. Although I approach counseling from a Christian perspective, I welcome all who believe we could be a good fit, regardless of spiritual preference. Through the context of a safe and committed relationship, with over 15 years of experience, I consider it an honor to work with each person who walks through my door. My areas of expertise include, (but are not limited to) anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and relationship issues.

El deseo de tener una vida donde sea posible sentirnos cómodos con nosotros mismos y con los que amamos es un sueño compartido por todos. A través del proceso de psicoterapia es posible el procesamiento y sanación de conflictos del presente o pasado que nos han tenido estancados en estados de ansiedad, depresión, indecisión y frustración. Aunque para otros, los traumas sufridos han llevado al deterioro de su autoestima, poder personal y relación interpersonales, la psicoterapia abre la puerta a la esperanza de trabajar por adquirir paz interior y vivir en relaciones interpersonales mas funcionales y duraderas.

I am truly honored my clients choose to share their stories with me regarding disordered eating patterns, traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress with family or parenting. My clients come to me with day to day stressors and major life events where we process thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. During our sessions my clients want a safe space to be heard and supported through the various challenges life brings their way.

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.

Therapy does not have to be boring, hard, or last years, I have heard from my clients that they enjoy coming to therapy and it was not like what they thought it would be. It's okay to laugh, talk, and generally have a good time while working on difficult complex situations and issues. You will be able to make necessary changes in your life by getting techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your obtainable goals. You will walk out of a session with a skill or two that you can go home and start using immediately. While any given technique doesn't work for everyone, I'll be sure to give you the tools specific for you.

I often say, "Therapists are not a one size fits all" and that it can be difficult to find a therapist that suits your needs, let alone choose the right therapist by reading a description of them. During sessions I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, & dialectical behavior therapy however, I believe that each client is unique and tailor my approach to be client centered. I focus on finding solutions, building strengths, and improving negative thought patterns. The therapeutic process can be overwhelming, but I pride myself on working side by side with my clients every step of the way and being a strong advocate for

With 15+years experience, I love working with a wide range of populations including veterans, adults, adolescents and young adults.

My therapeutic focus is on the interpersonal needs and situational difficulties of my clients from a cognitive behavioral, client centered approach.

My goal for each therapy session is to respect the client, allow them to be heard, appreciate where they are coming from, and help guide them through their struggles or issues. My approach to therapy is to utilize an integrative approach with clients. What this means is that I utilize different approaches for different people, as we are not all alike. Whether you're suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, or any other kind of challenge, you want a therapist you feel comfortable with and who can help you bring about change. I have experience working with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

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.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and assist you in creating the life you desire. While we can't change difficult situations of the past we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques we will work together to resolve issues and lead you to experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options.
