Therapists in Forsyth County, GA
A decision to begin therapy is a decision for learning and change. I believe learning and change take place in relationships that are forward looking, genuine, safe, and trusting. I am a licensed psychologist, and my specialty areas include providing therapy and counseling to children, adolescents and adults with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorders, conduct disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My specialty areas also include developmental, school, learning, and adjustment disorders.

Some days, it feels like there is a never-ending storm cloud hanging over you. No matter how hard you try, you can’t shake overwhelming emotions. One moment, you’re on top of the world, and the next you’re plunged into deep despair without any reason. It’s exhausting to feel like something terrible is always about to happen. Even the smallest setback triggers a cascade of negative thoughts that feel inescapable. The voices in your head are constant and upsetting. You feel helpless, exhausted, and misunderstood—even by your family and loved ones.

My practice is fairly evenly divided across individuals, couples and corporations. I address issues ranging from anxiety, depression, marital/relationship, parenting/family concerns to life transitions and executive/organizational development. I received my doctorate in 1986 and went on to serve as president of the Georgia Psychological Association from 1999-2000. I rely on a blend of cognitive behavioral and family systems therapy to help clients develop a practical, common sense path to change. The central premise is that in order to change your life, you must first understand how it used to work and why it doesn't anymore.

My practice aims to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, wherein the client is seen as a whole person, rather than a collection of symptoms. My approach includes looking at the ways in which our thoughts can influence the ways we think and behave, and exploring ways to restructure beliefs about ourselves and the world that lead to suffering. Individual and couples counseling sessions are structured to holistically target presenting behavioral concerns and encourage insight. My areas of specialty include substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, and couples counseling. I welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Did it again! I said I was sorry for the umpteenth time, even for the smallest slip-up. I walk this tightrope of nipping in the bud any possibility of others' disapproval. My biggest fear is that I'm worthless and won't be good enough. As a result, I am hyper-vigilant about almost anything I do, so I push til I drop. Lately, I have noticed my anxiety has gone through the roof. It is becoming harder and harder to get up and face the day. There's another side to me – even though I want closeness, I do the opposite: I become so angry that I swear and slam doors. No wonder I'm alone. I feel like a fraud. Is there hope for me?
