Therapists in Atlanta, GA
Providing therapy, being a listener and helping others in essence found me. I did not initially plan to become a therapist but I am so happy and proud I did. I receive joy from being able to find the right words and work through the issue with my client. Therapy is a very important tool, whether it is intensive treatment or being a supportive ear.

Do you feel stressed, lost, or overwhelmed by the ever-present demands of life? I believe that achieving alignment with our life path and balance leads us to mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to help them achieve balance and to help them reach their highest potential.

If you’re here, I know you’ve already overcome a lot to get to this point—whether it’s the uncertainty of starting therapy, frustration from past experiences, or just the exhaustion of carrying everything on your own. Wherever you are in the process, I’ll meet you there. I work with adolescents (10+), women, and gender-queer individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or life transitions. You want support that actually helps, not just surface-level advice, and a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped to create real, meaningful change.

Do you feel like you don't know where to start? Do you feel like you're not sure if you need therapy? Do you feel totally stuck? Needing therapy doesn't mean you're “crazy”. You're stronger than you think. Things can get better. But your therapist can't “fix” you. No topic is off limits. Therapists are trying too. No, your therapist is really not judging you. My approach to therapy varies based on the individual needs of the person I am seeing and at the heart of my practice is a person centered approach. Based on my experience, I have found that my approach and style are centered towards the client's needs.

Here we are. Through the psychotherapy relationship, we have an opportunity to embrace the invitation to tend to ourselves. Sometimes we feel disconnected—uncertain of who we are or how to navigate life’s challenges. Anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of being stuck can weigh on us, leaving us longing for greater grounding, resilience, and wholeness. We may seek a gentle space to explore our feelings and experiences in connection with our inner selves and community.

I embrace that therapy is not intended to be a life story, but rather a planned and timely experience for growth which allows my clients to gain skills that will help them succeed far after moving on from therapy.

My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to create a safe, non-judgmental experience. I assist clients with developing insight into themselves, building skills for managing life more effectively, developing healthy perspectives, and when appropriate, exploring the roots of emotional pain. Therapy can help a person to create a life worth living and find more peace in the present moment. I believe people are capable of change and know how difficult change can be. I find that with positive support and a therapeutic relationship, one can feel stronger and more confident in making positive changes.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining. It might sound cliche, but it's true. There's still hope for a brighter future in spite of any present challenges. I support clients who are dealing with mental health conditions like depression or anxiety as well as those who are facing normal but difficult life situations like stress, grief/loss, relationship/family conflict, or problems at work. I’m deeply passionate about helping people who have difficulty maintaining emotional balance or need support in changing unhealthy mindsets and behaviors. I work with adults, couples, and families from all cultural backgrounds and lifestyles.

My style is casual and egalitarian. I see us as equals working together to improve the quality of your experience of being alive. In my lucid moments, I am powerfully aware that the causes of our suffering are not our circumstances, but rather how we perceive them and relate to them. Fortunately, these are things we CAN change. Thus my aim as a therapist is to help you change your moment-to-moment a p p r o a c h to being alive, regardless of circumstance. I find that if we truly change our WAY of showing up in the world, our circumstances tend to naturally change along with us.
