We are an
LGBTQ
friendly office.
I am only offering testing and evaluation services at this time. I have been licensed as a clinical psychologist in Georgia since 2013, and I specialize in psychological testing to help clarify mental health diagnoses and offer guidance for treatment. I also conduct psychoeducational testing to assess academic skills, potential learning disorders, and other conditions that impact learning, and I offer specific and empirically supported recommendations to help individuals meet their full cognitive and academic potential. Some evaluations can be completed via telehealth, depending on the needs.

However, this is a good thing because my life experiences are exactly what will connect us and lead you to the life that you want to live. Therapy with me is a safe and inclusive space for all!

It's time to live life with intention. No more sitting on the sidelines of your journey lamenting that whatever will be, will be. Understandably, we can’t control everything that happens in our lives, but we can be proactive in understanding our responses to life’s challenges. Seeking mental wellness encourages increased self-compassion and stronger relational bonds. Mental health therapy is an effective and supportive process that can assist you on your journey. As your therapist, I strive to help you cultivate meaningful bonds with self and others by living an intentional and joy-filled internal journey. Let's talk about it...

Life as you know it has changed. You were barely holding on before, and now you're struggling to adjust to life's new normal. Anxiety and/or depression may not be new to you but dealing with medical and racial pandemics simultaneously just feels like too much. Connecting with your partner seems harder now than ever before, even though you are spending more time together. All of your regular coping skills and self-care tools just don't seem to be doing the job and you are looking for relief. Believe me, I get what you're going through.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
