Couples Counseling Therapists in Decatur, GA

Our unique life experiences play an integral part in our individual growth and development. Sometimes, our life stories can take unexpected turns and twists that may include emotional and physical difficulties. I have a thriving passion in helping you reach your health and healing goals as we face life’s challenges together. I fully attend to each client’s needs, interweaving clear presence with practiced skill. Using a relationship -focused approach, I focus sessions on a strong cognitive-behavioral framework. It is my goal to meet each client where they are on their life journey and nurture growth through your identified goals.

Would you like help in unraveling your personal, career, relationship , or creativity blocks? Are you looking for relief and positive change from anxiety, depression, relationship or work stressors, or navigating difficult life transitions? Problems can arise and develop over time from a variety of sources, both current and past. Do you want to resolve or manage counterproductive thinking or behavior patterns, so that you can move forward into more fulfilling life directions and relationships? Expanding mental/emotional flexibility & balance require care and attention to grow our sense of wellness, awareness, and appreciation.

I strive to provide an open, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment in which my clients feel comfortable exploring, growing, and making changes. I assist clients in obtaining a greater understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they may influence their functioning. Typically, my clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions,and interpersonal difficulties. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, areas for growth, and help them move along the path to change.

We are in a global crisis; we need new emotional/spiritual/physical resources, inner connections, and relationships. Psychotherapy can help you adjust to the "new normal" and to heal new and old wounds and fears. I work with individuals in life transitions, those who have experienced trauma/abuse, who want to live and age more mindfully, and/or who need to grieve losses. I can also help you learn to have more fulfilling relationships or leave relationships that are no longer working. When stressed, people sometimes find that they don't have a strong foundation. In a counseling relationship , you can learn to rebuild one.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or no longer recognize this version of yourself. Or, perhaps you're feeling generally dissatisfied. Maybe you've tried "fixing" problems with limited results. Therapy is about understanding who you are and what you need in the present, prioritizing needs with realistic expectations, and fostering growth in a meaningful and sustainable way. Stress, perceived failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. Our lived experiences inform, they don't define. I will help you create space in your life to strengthen what's already there, and sustainably build the rest with purpose and intention.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, general sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction? Are you and your partner not getting along as well as you would like? Are you having problems with alcohol or other substances? If so, let's set up some counseling for you to help decrease the negative and increase the positive in your life. My approach is empathic and caring and of a cognitive behavioral orientation. I will help you identify and develop the skills and insights you need to experience success over your problems and to have more satisfaction in your life and relationships.
