Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Decatur, GA
My ideal clients are adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many are navigating life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges, and feel unprepared for the demands of school, work, or adulthood. Some are high-achieving yet disconnected, carrying cultural or generational expectations that no longer fit. They want clarity, stronger coping skills, healthier relationships, and a more grounded, fulfilling life.

Welcome! I am a trauma-informed, liberation-oriented art therapist offering virtual therapy for adults and teens in Georgia. I take a systems-based approach to mental health, considering the mind-body connection, the health of relationships, and the impacts of systemic oppression. I advocate for collective liberation as a key aspect of trauma healing and prioritize creating an affirming and accessible space for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and disabled or chronically ill folks. As an art therapist, I believe that creating art can help to express emotions, regulate the nervous system, and communicate with the self and others.

My goal as a therapist is to build a relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable to share their most vulnerable feelings.

Are you are stuck in a job you hate, aren’t sure if you should stay in your current relationship, or just feel in a “funk” from time to time? If so, therapy is for you. I use a solution-focused approach to help you find the answers you are looking for. I enjoy working with adults (and older teens) who can’t quite figure out how to live their best lives. I specialize in couples – before marriage, when you still have stars in your eyes, after marriage when things are a bit harder than you thought they’d be, and towards the potential end of marriage, when you need to make the tough decision to either stay together or not.
