Therapists in Marietta, GA

My focus in working with clients is to help foster personal awareness, to draw out inner strengths, and provide tools to cope with life's challenges. All of us have certain thoughts and behaviors that are unhealthy and at times can even be destructive or keep us stuck. My hope is that the therapeutic relationship creates a deeper, richer understanding and acceptance of the underlying issues in one's life.

Helping individuals and couples learn skills that result in useful thinking, mindful living and healthy relationships is deeply satisfying to me. I enjoy working with couples who are either preparing for marriage, strengthening their connection or hoping to restore trust and wholeness. I also work well with individuals who recognize a need for change and are willing to try new ways of thinking and behaving.

I specialize in helping individuals discover who they TRULY are, accept and affirm their true selves, and make choices that lead to a more fulfilled, integrated, and intentional life. Sessions with me are typically relaxed and informal and I can help you develop goals to help clarify your situation, consider your options, and make decisions. As we explore together what makes you "tick", this will help you decide what is working, choose what to change, and ultimately live a more intentional and integrated life.

Therapy is a safe place to talk and be heard. During this time, together, I want to help you create goals and learn skills that will help now, and also in the future. I believe that each therapy session should be shaped to meet your exact needs during that time in your life. My goal is to walk beside you, not in front or behind, during this difficult time.

My ideal client is anyone who is looking to better their mental health, and take the steps needed to start taking care of themselves in order to start feeling like themselves again.

Navigating the process of finding a therapist can be a difficult one. If you are experiencing marital distress or family conflict, I would love to help you create new connections in relationships that have been broken. My primary goal is to create loving bonds in the relationships that matter most in our lives. In my office or through telehealth, my hope is to offer a space for safety and respect to generate healing and restoration. I use a holistic approach, considering the whole person and the varied needs that each one comes with. I also enjoy working with clients who wish to include faith into counseling

I’m aware that the idea of therapy can be overwhelming, intimidating and uncomfortable. That’s why I pride myself on creating a safe place for people to be able to discuss whatever issues they are dealing with and remind them that they are not alone in this therapeutic process. I have a passion for working with juvenile adolescents and young adults, especially from Black and Brown communities. I want to revitalize therapy and encourage people to see the true benefits of it. It’s a safe haven where you can explore not only the present but the past and begin to recognize how previous trauma can affect us as we grow older.

Relationship conflicts are inevitable. When your relationship is suffering from deficits in communication, it can lead to hard-to-manage conflicts. Having the tools can decrease the painful interaction between you and your partner. Feeling angry, frustrated, and hopeless can lead to becoming increasingly disconnected. Most couples want to know and develop the tools to reconnect and repair from infidelity, disrespect, and lack of quality time.

At times, life can be overwhelming and a challenge to navigate. Whether you are struggling with personal issues, relationships, family or work conflicts, I can help you identify your inner strengths to cope and achieve your goals.

Discovering oneself in this fast-paced society that feeds on comparison and the next best thing can seem like a hopeless challenge. Everything is constantly changing around us just as we seem to get our footing. This can lead us to feeling defeated, unqualified, and exhausted. In these times it is important to rediscover yourself or maybe meet yourself for the first time. Having someone to walk with you and truly listen to your process, thoughts, values, and beliefs can be foundational in this discovery and healing process.

You are tired of going through the motions of life only to be disappointed, discouraged and depressed. You can't sleep well and you are overthinking about what you said. You experience stress and anxiety about small things now. It used to be just the big things that worried you, and now life stressors and the difficult circumstance you face is all you can think about it. It is impacting your relationships and you have doubt that God will see you through this adversity. You feel hopeless, alone and anxious.

It's not easy to ask for help...Don't wait any longer to reach out for the support and guidance necessary to create change. I have a passion for working with people willing to take that brave step. If you are struggling with eating issues, addictive behavior or with relationships in your life, I can help.
