Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I am a psychotherapist and neurodevelopmental psychologist. I offer psychotherapy and evaluation services to adults, children and families. I also also perform comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Georgia and completed my clinical internship at Harvard Medical School. I was a staff psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital/ Harvard Medical School for two years following a two-year fellowship there. I was also an instructor at Harvard Medical School from 2015 to 2017. I have presented nationally on clinician issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

My work focuses on meeting my clients where they are and fostering a relationship that allows for the creation of a deep connection and a collaborative space where possibilities can be explored and change can happen. My non-judgmental, calm approach allows me to work well with a number of concerns including emotional & relational challenges, self-esteem/ self-identify work, depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. I help clients process and understand their underlying emotions, while building skill in a way that empowers them to not only see change while in session, but sustain it for a fuller and happier life.

I believe in your innate power to heal and grow from difficult life experiences and I applaud your choice to begin the significant process of change through counseling. Whether you've experienced trauma recently or many years ago, these experiences may continue to impact you in the present in various ways. I am the clinical expert but you are the expert of self, as I can not know you better than you know yourself, therefore; collaboratively we will focus on your strengths, explore the patterns that have brought you to where you are today, as well as discuss intentional changes you can make to struggle less and increase your life.

Life happens in unexpected ways. Whether adjusting to a sudden life change or a known life transition, you may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted. The time period of transitioning to adulthood is stressful enough and dealing with anxiety, hopeless feelings, or just uncertainty on how to move forward can make it unbearable. Many adults have found help by reaching out and working with a therapist. There is an opportunity to learn and grow from your experience. Maya Angelou says, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

As your counselor, I focus on your counseling goals and concerns. I provide tools to help gain self-understanding, change behavior, conflict resolution, restore hope, and gain spiritual empowerment. Couples are encouraged to choose the Couples Intensive, a 6 week marriage restoration and healing course. We work to understand "Daddy Issues" and other co-dependencies, as well as grief and loss, past pain, unforgiveness and the pain of rejection. Owning our story and giving ourselves compassion for the rest of our journey is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Life is complicated. Despite our best efforts, there are days where we all feel unhappy, anxious, and inadequate. Some of our struggles are results of our choices, but many of the hardships we face exist as a result of the way our loved ones and life circumstances treat us. Hardship can come in many forms - depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and unhappy relationships. Sadly, life rarely pauses when we are struggling, we are expected to keep functioning as professionals, parents, partners, and friends. This pressure can sometimes feel suffocating, and can make an already hard situation worse.

Do you feel sad, anxious, unfulfilled, or unsure what your next step in life is? Is everything going well, but still doesn’t feel right? Do you keep doing the same things over, knowing they don't work, but don't know to stop? Do you rationally know your decisions are unhealthy or why certain things happen, but you can't emotionally "catch up?" I named my practice Eunioa because it means well-balanced mind. I believe that finding your balance is key, l I will meet you wherever you are in your journey and help you get where you want to be. In working with you, I bring an energetic, positive, warm, and honest approach.

Something has felt off for some time but you’ve convinced yourself it would eventually pass. Some time has turned into weeks, months, or maybe even years because you’ve gotten used to telling yourself, “I hate asking for help” or “I can handle it on my own”. Those signs you’ve ignored have now become detrimental. The coping resources that worked before are no longer effective in addressing your daily struggles and you find yourself disconnected, stuck, or making poor decisions. You no longer feel like the best version of yourself but you also aren’t the best partner, parent, friend, or member of the workforce that you’d like to be.

I am invested in helping individuals & couples navigate the challenges & milestones that surface in serious dating, pre-engagement, engagement, and married relationships. I am a certified facilitator for several evidence-based relationship-building inventory programs that help reduce vulnerability of a failed relationship. Research shows that most people wait until they are six years into a relationship before they reach for the help, direction, and support they need. I help intentional couples build resilient bonds by more deeply understanding one another through learning & practicing tools to enrich their relationship.
