Family Therapy in Atlanta, GA

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.

"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending." -Brene Brown.

We are dynamic people, capable of change and restoration, and it is an honor to facilitate and walk with a person through this process.

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.

Children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and difficult life transitions know that it can feel overwhelming, stressful and may feel worried that no one will understand how they feel.

Working from a person-centered perspective, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components for change. I offer an empathic space to explore your goals toward recovery. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including CBT, existential, and interpersonal therapies.

Do you find yourself wishing your relationships with others were deeper? Do you crave intimacy, to feel known, listened to, and valued? In our world today, this deep sense of connection can be difficult to attain. As a therapist, I prioritize relationship, offer therapeutic connection, and facilitate intrapersonal and relational growth. I work with individuals to explore identity, sexuality, and the difficulties that may come along with attempting to know one’s self deeply and live authentically, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. I particularly enjoy and specialize in working with queer and bisexual women.

Having been trained in a humanistic/holistic model of therapy (Experiential, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Family Systems), I have adhered to what is now called an “integrative” approach to mental health issues. Specifically, when I engage with a client we focus on the interaction of all the dimensions of his or her life, i.e., biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual. Subsequently, we embark on an exciting journey together to explore a path that leads to a more optimal state of well-being and a greater sense of wholeness.
