Buddhist Therapists in Atlanta, GA
Many of my clients begin therapy feeling disconnected from their feelings and bodies, struggling to show up in their relationships how they'd like, and overwhelmed by life. Working together, you or your child can come to feel less overwhelmed, and more capable to engage with life in a way that feels healthy, intentional, and authentic. I help my clients to feel un-stuck from old cycles of anxiety and perfectionism, reactivity and disassociation, shame and impulsivity. Real relief and positive change don’t happen when we’re flooded. I'll help you to slow down with whatever you’re facing, so that you can feel more grounded and strong.

As a therapist and yoga instructor, I combine counseling with mindfulness for stress, anxiety, and depression. I assist you in deeply understanding your suffering and uncovering inner strength through acceptance and choice, while cultivating compassion for yourself and others. Mindfulness helps us recognize emotional and physical experiences, while awareness of breath creates space to become more response-able. This develops healthy responses to stress, anxiety, and depression. It also improves our ability to communicate and be in relationship with others.

Are you the kind of human that desires to transform your life? Many of us have come to recognize that a legacy of intergenerational trauma has to have an expiration date. The weight of our history can sometimes feel unbearable and wholly unfair. And yet- here we are, in need of integrating our whole life; including those that came before us. Inevitably, this process is messy and each of us deserves a guide who, with time, can be trusted to walk along this unchartered path. I will bring my machete and even hold your hand with your consent.

What's so great about having nightmares? It gives us access to material we need to process, with support, to truly get beyond past traumatic events.

I completed a 1-yr certification in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and have been working with Ketamine since 2019. My clients vary a good deal in their diagnoses, but under the label of depression, anxiety, etc., they're actually suffering from mental injury or trauma. They're stuck, confused, and unhappy. I'm called to demystify your experience and help you heal the narratives and associated behaviors that make you miserable. My greatest joy is being a part of you rediscovering yours.

You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict.

I want to help you re-define normal, not only as a way to be productive but as a way to remain understood, respected, and connected to your loved ones.

You’re expanding in your life—but your relationships, identity, or sense of self haven’t fully caught up. I work with high-functioning individuals, including first-generation professionals, founders, and those entering high-performance spaces. They are driven and self-aware, but may experience burnout, disconnection, or shifts in intimacy and desire as their lives evolve. Many feel caught between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming. Together, we focus on building self-trust, improving relationships, and creating a life that feels aligned, connected, and deeply sustainable—not just successful.

Is buddhism beneficial for mental health?
While Buddhism itself is not a treatment for mental health conditions, its practices can greatly enhance mental well-being by introducing coping skills and ideas that promote overall wellness. Key Buddhist practices, such as mindfulness, have been shown to alleviate symptoms of various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. Moreover, Buddhism's focus on self-compassion, non-judgment, and acceptance can benefit individuals with particularly negative or self-critical thought patterns.
What are the concepts and principles of buddhism as a therapeutic approach?
Core Buddhist principles are often used in therapy to help clients gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. Concepts such as suffering (dukkha) and impermanence (anicca) are applied to help clients recognize that common forms of suffering, like repetitive negative thought patterns, can be accepted and viewed as impermanent. The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are additional core concepts utilized frequently in Buddhist therapy sessions. The Four Noble Truths highlight the existence of suffering as an inherent part of the human experience—an insight frequently used to move clients toward greater acceptance. The Eightfold Path, which includes right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right concentration, and right mindfulness, offers practical skills to alleviate suffering.
What is the buddhist approach and practice during a therapy session?
Therapists informed by Buddhist principles often integrate mindfulness and meditation practices into therapy sessions to help clients cultivate greater acceptance, compassion, and non-judgment toward themselves and others. Typically, Buddhist therapists guide clients through mindfulness exercises, such as breathing exercises or body scans, and encourage them to practice similar exercises outside of sessions. Additionally, many Buddhist therapists utilize elements of Positive Psychology or Compassion-Focused Therapy, which can help reduce symptoms of self-criticism and shame common among clients with various mental health conditions. In general, Buddhist therapists strive to embody the compassion and non-judgmental approach they promote, often incorporating exercises aimed at developing compassion in session, such as loving-kindness meditation (Metta).
Is mindfulness the same as buddhism in the context of therapy?
While Buddhist therapists frequently integrate mindfulness practices into therapy sessions, the terms mindfulness and Buddhism are not synonymous in the context of therapy. Therapists may use mindfulness techniques, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), without identifying as a Buddhist therapist. In contrast, those practicing within a Buddhist belief framework typically encourage mindfulness therapies, in addition to foundational Buddhist beliefs, such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. These therapists may also guide clients toward a deeper understanding of Buddhist philosophy, unlike those who use Buddhist mindfulness principles without the broader spiritual context.
