I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Georgia and journey with individuals age 18 and older. Clients who come to me are going through transitions, seeking to recover from anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, find their gender/sexuality identity or have suffered trauma. I specialize working with couples and with survivors of narcissistic abuse. I approach our therapeutic relationship with utmost sensitivity and respect to multi/cross-cultural factors. You can bring your personal values and spirituality and integrate them into our healing work. I am here to support you as you are finding your authentic self.

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.

In addition to talk therapy, I provide alternative interventions such as mindfulness and meditation techniques for you to achieve a more holistic quality of life while addressing anxiety, depression,
stress
, work-life balance, and more.
Does it feel like things are spiraling out of control? Have you noticed changes in your mood, difficulties with work-life balance, or trouble adjusting to changes in your life? So many of us wear masks as we navigate the many roles within our lives, and all the accomplishments, levels of education, and titles don’t seem to change that. Instead, they might make things more complicated. Everyone needs someone and deserves to be supported especially when faced with challenges.

Management; Life Transitions; and, Women's Issues.
It is our belief that the decisions we make and the behaviors we exhibit are directly related to what we know as our reality. Knowing and understanding that fact leads us to approach every situation with the mindset that you, as the client, have the ability and power to make positive changes in your life. We know that placing blame, not taking responsibility, and not living up to your potential, only allows others to be in control of your life, leaving you without a voice. It is our philosophy that NOT BEING PRESENT FOR YOU can lead to BOWING DOWN TO OTHERS.

I get to hold space for people struggling to manage
stress
, dealing with difficult or complicated life transitions, concerned about their mental health, and/or attempting to deal with a trauma history.
Life is a journey...a series of expected and unexpected experiences that occur as a result of decisions made by us ourselves, by others, or by internal or external processes that seem to be beyond our control. Sometimes we benefit from having someone who will hold space for us to process, learn, and grow from them. This can be true when we are anticipating one, going through one, or have already been through one.

I utilize standard tools of therapy and cognitive processing, and also
stress
the importance of mindfulness and meditation in one’s life.
When traditional therapy isn't enough, we must find other ways to heal. Let's talk about how you are taking care of yourself. How are you coping with life? What are the relationships like with those around you? What is it that you are holding on to that is holding you back? I firmly believe that a part of what we experience with those closest to us, is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves. In our work, we will dig into the most important relationship you will have or nurture: the one with yourself.

Being a high achiever feels like you have to keep up this façade of perfection, which means you are overworking and in a constant state of
stress
. This can show up as work
stress
, burnout, unfulfilling relationships & feeling worthless. It’s lonely at the top. You need a therapist that understands the unique challenges that come with being an outlier & can help you bounce back.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
