Emotionally Focused Therapists in Decatur, GA
My hope is to help ease your most difficult emotions while addressing the patterns that keep you feeling "stuck" or powerless. Drawing from interpersonal neuroscience (e.g., polyvagal theory) I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing framework for healing and growth so that you can enact changes in your life that are consistent with your most authentic and grounded self. I believe we are all capable of improving the quality of our lives no matter how difficult and persistent problems have been. Seeing my clients evolve through self-compassion and meaningful action is a true privilege and passion for me.

I believe that behind every problem lies the powerful desire for something better. In addition to working with couples and families, my expertise is in therapy with adolescents (13+) and adults, both gay and straight. I use research-based therapies that offer practical methods and skills that build emotional flexibility, self-awareness and resilience. Many of my clients are working to become free of self-defeating patterns resulting from emotional neglect in early or adolescent development. My typical client is intelligent and responsible as well as anxious and stressed, lonely, depressed or angry.

For over 35 years, as both a fertility psychologist and OB/GYN with a strong interest in infertility, I have loved helping people on their fertility journey. Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we've wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Challenges with fertility are traumatic experiences. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?

Mental health is an integral part of leading a wholesome healthy life. As the saying goes “healthy body, healthy mind”, the opposite is equally true. Life comes with all sorts of traumatic events and difficult circumstances that impact our mental wellbeing and manifests in feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger and discontent. It is important for us all to navigate and overcome these difficulties so they don’t affect our overall health and quality of life.

Are you a woman or couple struggling with sexual concerns or communication issues? Your friends and colleagues think you're the perfect couple. But inside you're filled with frustration and confusion. You'd think with the level of love and respect in your relationship that the sex part would work itself out, but not so much. What's happening between the sheets just isn't working, but you can't understand what's going wrong or how to begin fixing it. You need help, but you aren't sure if anyone would understand. Imagine finding a supportive space to explore your situation with someone who won't judge you. At all.

I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.
