Couples Counseling Therapists in Atlanta, GA

What makes psychotherapy effective is the client/ therapist relationship ; it is important to find someone with whom you can connect and feel at ease. I have worked with individuals, couples , groups and families for over 35 years. Clients come to me to address life issues such as personal/professional transitions, stress in relationships, health issues, grief and bereavement, anxiety and depression. I use integrative therapy, which combines traditional psychotherapy with proven alternative mind-body practices: meditation, visualization and tai chi/qigong. As a result, the mind, spirit and body all work together to promote healing, wellness and personal growth.

Do you see a pattern in your relationship , career, or life choices? Do you feel you are "going through the motions" and success - as you define it - continues to elude you? Perhaps fear, stress, anxiety, or depression are appearing? Are you feeling stuck in the human experience? Self-sabotaging tactics or traumatic experiences can make anyone feel like they are on the sidelines of life rather than being fully "on their game." Even the strongest of us all have a need for support. Not only is counseling my career, it is my passion and calling. I consider myself a bridge to helping people grow into the best version of themselves.

My goal as a clinician is to encourage and empower my clients to be the best version of themselves. Recognizing there is always room to grow beyond unfortunate circumstances is vital to increasing one's quality of life. Administering services within the social services spectrum with everything it entails to include but not limited to the coordination of care, community linkage and emotional support fit very with my desire to help my clients reach their full potential.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist working in private practice. I work with couples at many stages of life: dating, engaged, newly married, and longterm couples . I also work with individuals experiencing a variety of sexual concerns. Clients contact me for relationship and sexual-related problems including arousal and desire issues, having a different level of desire than their partner , difficulty with orgasms, painful intercourse, sexual abuse and trauma, sexual performance concerns (erectile dysfunction, rapid or delayed ejaculation), and problems with pornography and/or masturbation. I am also a kink-aware professional. (KAP)

Is your spouse / partner tap dancing on your last nerve? Are you tired of having the same, exhausting fight with no resolution? If you feel numb, disconnected or fed up with your partner , there is hope to gaining clarity and resolution. I work with couples who love each other but feel "stuck". They wan't a healthy connection but have no clue on how to get there. We work together to navigate conflicts, process emotions and learn how to communicate honestly to avoid/repair resentment. Those skills require tools that many of us weren't taught. Now is the time to get the tools, and I can help you with that.

Relationships can be extra complicated for LGBTQ people. You may have grown up feeling family, friends, or community didn’t understand you, or maybe you experienced outright rejection. You probably didn’t get to date in high school, and most of us don’t grow up with mentors who can help us navigate the world of dating. Whether you’re having trouble making a relationship work or you’re in a long-term relationship that just doesn’t feel fulfilling, I can help you find or build a strong relationship .

“It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found” (D.W. Winnicott). I believe that people have a fundamental need to be seen and heard. I aim to create space that allows clients to be their authentic selves as they grapple with the challenges of past traumas and present hardships. Too often people feel as though they are experiencing pain alone. I strongly believe in the therapeutic alliance and the uniqueness that is co-created within the supportive relational space. Together we can understand and integrate one’s trauma, strengthen one's self-confidence and deepen insight.
