Have you found yourself challenged with feelings of overwhelm, anxiousness, and sadness related to life transitions? Are you experiencing difficulties in your intimate or family relationships that you wish to overcome? Ineffective communication contributes to increased conflict causing more stress and potentially negatively impacting various aspects of your life. Depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma do not have to be your norm. Strengthening interpersonal skills and finding effective methods to cope with stressors is essential to attain overall wellness and develop a fulfilling life that includes peace and empowerment.

As deep emotional wounds and family "imprints" are identified, processed, and healed in a safe, loving, and therapeutic setting, my clients discover self-love and a sense of true accomplishment.
Are you seeking more direction and purpose in your life? Are you wondering who you really are and what you actually want for your life? Are you experiencing a loss or conflict in your relationship(s)? Every person in this world is like a mirror directed outward - We often attract relationships and experiences, which meet us at the level of our current self-esteem. I have a passion for helping women to let go of internal critical voices, which often fuel unnecessary anxiety, fear, distraction and self-doubt. I am licensed and practice in both the State of Georgia and the State of Louisiana.

I welcome those taking the step to seek therapy. The therapeutic experience is a unique and powerful one. Life can bring unexpected challenges during uncertain times. What we have control over is how we handle experiences and regulate our feelings/emotions/thoughts. A shift in perspective and new insight can be life changing. We do not live in a vaccum and problems, ( not excluded to) such as family of origin conflict, anxiety and depression may have always been present or come up later in life. I aim to aid you in facing discomfort, resolving the past, accepting the present and growing into the future with clarity and well being.

Everyone can benefit from therapy in some way, yet reaching out for help can be difficult. I understand this challenge and commend you on taking the first steps towards leading the life you desire. As a systemic therapist, I believe the relationships that we are apart of, and the experiences that we have, influence our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Therefore, I enjoy helping clients explore the various systems they are connected to as they continue to learn about themselves.I have a collaborative and client-centered therapeutic approach and I am committed to helping my client's reach their therapeutic goals.

I specialize in helping teen boys and young adult men with anxiety, depression, ADHD, family conflict, and performance anxiety.
Growing up is hard. I am passionate about helping teens and young adult men with anxiety, depression, and other challenging situations. Adolescence and young adulthood is a time of constant change and new experiences. While this can be exciting, it can also cause an immense amount of anxiety. Do you feel like your mind just won't stop turning? Sometimes it might feel as if it is driven by a motor and just won't stop. Do you struggle to find the motivation that you once did, feeling numb more often than you would like? Teens and young adult men need a place to process these issues designed especially for them.

20 years experience has allowed me to specialize in working with sexual abuse survivors, adolescents finding their unique path in life, individual & family systems, co-parenting sessions, Guardian ad Litem, and therapeutic interventions helping individuals find out 'who they are' and their most productive mode of function .
At some time in our life we all struggle with some sort of adversity. I believe we are not judged by adversity but how we handle it. Asking for help is not always easy but it is a sign of strength. Therapy is a process of self discovery that enables you to recognize unhealthy patterns of behavior and learn effective coping strategies for optimal health and well-being. Life happens to each of us and much of life is out of our control - but how we respond to life's events is completely within our control.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
