Therapists in Old Fourth Ward, Atlanta, GA

As a licensed professional counselor, I am humbled to walk with people in the middle of their pain into a place of healing. I see you as a whole person and not a diagnosis. I foster an environment of safety and entering into your adversity. My goal is to help you on the journey to healing and hope. If faith and spirituality is something clients are interested in then; she is a trained Christian Counselor. She uses the integrative approach to meet people where they are at. (The integrative approach uses both psychology and biblical principles to treat the people on a holistic level.)

I know first-hand that seeking mental health support can be intimidating, awkward, and/or discouraging, but it doesn’t have to be. My focus is to create a supportive, safe and client-centered environment in order to allow individuals to be the most genuine and authentic versions of themselves. Embracing differences and uniqueness is foundational to my work, and I strive to provide culturally-competent care. Together, we will collaborate to overcome stress, work towards your desired outcome, and create healthy and positive changes.

From adolescence through adulthood, the traps of perfectionism and the pressure to live up to expectations can be overwhelming. The constant drive to excel, try harder and push yourself can feel like you are sprinting a marathon. These pressures are easy to internalize and while you may look “fine” on the outside, it can take a toll on your well-being. Many clients I work with feel like they have been sprinting for years but are scared by what might happen if they slow down. This can lead to anxiety, depression, burn-out, and just a general sense of feeling stuck or unsatisfied.

Are you tired of feeling lost within yourself? Is shame, guilt, perfectionism, impulsiveness, confusion or pain pulling you away from being present in your life? Has your life taken an unexpected turn, or is it stuck in the same unfulfilling routine as always?​ Are you always looking for something to "fix" your life, or something to "fix" about your life? Is problem solving mode your M.O. ? Do you feel alone in a crowded room, because those who care for you just don't get it, despite their best efforts? Are you & your loved ones suffering from the immovable distance that has settled in your relationships, causing disconnect?

I understand the challenges women face in motherhood/infertility and teens face in today's world. I provide a compassionate and supportive space for women to navigate their emotional journey, rediscover their sense of self-worth, and build a meaningful bond with their baby. For teens, I offer guidance in managing academic and social pressures, building resilience, and fostering a positive self-image. My goal is to empower women and teens to find healing, restore balance, and embark on a journey of personal growth.

I believe that all of the fulfillment that you seek to find externally, can be found within you. A lot of times, people spend their lives seeking ways to find joy and happiness in other things. This often leads to missing out on the beauty that is unfolding within their present day. It is easy for people to become consumed by their everyday lives and even easier to miss out on the simple things that bring happiness.

I am a coach and licensed psychotherapist committed to helping you identify your strengths and reach your goals. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief & loss, life transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, poor self- esteem, and relationship problems. To adapt to the needs of each unique client, I utilize an eclectic approach to evidence-based treatment.

My practice primarily focuses on helping people who struggle in relationships. I use attachment theory to identify the type of dysfunction/trauma you adapted to early in life. These adaptations often create dysfunction or dissatisfaction in your relationships as an adult. We focus on how you attach to partners, peers, work, and yourself in ways that reflect your past and work on changing them in the present.

If you struggle with not feeling seen or heard, not feeling like you belong, not knowing your true identity, holding on to generational trauma, experiencing any type of trauma, suppressing emotions, experience with domineering parents/loved ones, feeling helpless and worthless, then I may be a good fit for you as a therapist. I focus on individual counseling, as well as supplying skills classes. I also offer couples counseling as a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. Wether I'm working with an individual, class, or couple, my goal is to help you not only survive in this challenging life, but to thrive in it as well.

Creating safe spaces where disappointments, shame, or fear can be processed through is my goal as a therapist. Whether your journey is short or long, I aim to come along side you for support as you find peace and personal growth. Whether it's working with young adults, families, or couples the goal is to create change that is tailor made for the individual or family unit. My therapeutic style is authentic, warm, and inviting; and I work from a strengths based perspective that promotes inner healing and self compassion.

I support folks who are fed up with their relationship to control and perfection. Patterns that helped protect and support you in troubling developmental environments are presenting emotion, identity, and relationship challenges. I will support you in increasing somatic awareness to navigate connection and disconnection with flexibility and compassion. My goal is to help you reorient to healing impulses that have been squashed by systems of hierarchy, oppression, and ableism.

I am a caring and compassionate therapist, working with pre-teen & teen girls struggling with anxiety and depression, relationship issues, academic performance, self harm, suicidal ideations and trauma. Having raised girls, I understand working through these issues can be difficult. A good therapist can be valuable. I am inspired to also work with adult woman experiencing infertility, divorce or even navigating a co-parenting relationship. These life changes can be challenging and I truly enjoy being a support to you while also providing concrete tips and knowledge around how to work through these changes.

Seeking help is hard, however I'm here to listen, lift you up, and and find your best self. Life can feel chaotic, stagnant, or going backwards. when this happens it hard to find a a way back to ourselves and push forward. I'm here to guide you out the hailstorm where you are reminded of your resiliency and self worth

Looking for queer-centered trauma therapy? Our community faces trauma (abandonment, abuse, alienation, estrangement, rejection, maltreatment, etc.) unique (or related to) our identities. Trauma impacts our relationships with ourselves and others. Struggles with boundaries, co-dependency, self-worth, trust, vulnerability, and shame are common. We may experience anxiety, ADHD, depression, and chronic illness, which can be exacerbated by the stress of navigating a world that does not always fully understand or affirm our identities. Unresolved trauma often profoundly impacts our ability to build and maintain fulfilling connections.
