If you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, depression or trauma responses that just will not let up, you are not alone.

I believe everyone has a desire to feel connected to themselves and to their world. I also believe there are many challenges (big, small or in between) in life where there is divergence between what an individual wants to do and what they are presently capable of doing. There may be factors from early childhood that impact attachment style and one’s core sense of self or events along the way that are simply too much for a person to hold on their own. Maybe there is no particular event, rather a general sense of pain and suffering, or a space within that feels empty or unfulfilled.

Out of place in the suburbs of Atlanta as a neurodivergent, rainbow sheep, I was able to discover belonging in fantasy, science fiction, storytelling, and arts and crafts.

As a super femme, queer, creative, fat and multiracial person, I have the lived experience and understanding of what it means to move through a world that feels like it was not designed for you.

As an adolescent, teen, and young adult therapist, I acknowledge the joys and the challenges we often experience throughout our young lives. By working with adolescents, teens, and their parents as a family system, there is an increase in the overall efficacy of treatment. Often, many of our struggles as a family stem from our ability to fully understand each others' experiences and view points. Learning to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions, and be more mindful in our every day lives can drastically improve our personal and familial experiences.

My clients don’t always find me first. But when they do — whether they’ve tried everything else or are simply ready for a more precise approach — they’re in the right place. I work with the brain directly. Using EEG/Brain Mapping, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, and Photobiomodulation, we measure your brain’s electrical patterns, identify what’s out of balance, and train it to change. No guessing. Objective data. Real results. Mental health lives in the body as much as the mind. Your brain tells us something. The EEG/Brain Map lets us listen.

Morgan works with clients navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, and the pressure to have everything figured out. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed from overthinking, perfectionism, responsibilities, or patterns of people-pleasing and burnout. They are often thoughtful and driven but struggle with self-doubt, boundaries, and balancing expectations from others with their own needs. If you can relate, and are tired of pushing through or feeling like something needs to shift, therapy can offer a place to pause and reflect, explore patterns, and begin making changes at a pace that feels right for you.

I primarily work with adults navigating trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and major life transitions, supporting them in reconnecting with their emotions, reducing unhelpful patterns, and cultivating a greater sense of empowerment and peace in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
