Adults Therapists in Marietta, GA

Going through trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and/or an eating disorder can be very lonely and isolating. Clients sometimes feel that they have no one who really understands what they are going through. I have worked with many clients who have experienced tragedies and difficult times in their lives, and maybe you can relate to some of those difficult feelings. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go through this alone! You may be looking for a place to heal, to explore painful memories, to receive support. There is strength in seeking help and I would love to be by your side to support you.

Welcome!! My passion is to help individuals who are dealing with obstacles in their lives or mental health challenges gain insight into thoughts and behaviors that keep us stuck, develop positive coping skills, and learn how to live positive, fulfilling lives. My therapeutic approach is based on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to teach my clients to identify and learn how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs influence our behaviors. When working with anxiety disorders, I use a combination of CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness meditation/relaxation practices to teach my clients how to manage anxiety.

We all want to feel heard and express ourselves in a way that feels comfortable. For some, it may not solely be through verbal communication. I enjoy working alongside my clients to establish a therapeutic relationship that provides a foundation to identify goals and move toward them together utilizing mindfulness, skill building and person-centered talk therapy as appropriate. I focus on each individuals journey and meeting the individual where they are.

I know that coming to counseling can be a difficult decision but I also believe that it takes more courage to face one's problems than to avoid them. I have a practical, down-to-earth approach - seeking to identify, address, and resolve areas of conflict and obstacles in your life. I am there to support you through the process of self-discovery - creating a safe place to find your strength, your voice and to discover what is true for you.

Life can be overwhelming, and at times, it can feel impossible to look at yourself with acceptance and confidence. Are you going through a season of life that is difficult and you aren’t sure how to cope with what life is throwing at you? Please know, you are not alone. Making the decision to begin therapy is a courageous step toward living the life you want and deserve. You deserve to feel whole and experience freedom from what you are facing, and learning new evidence-based tools, perspectives, and coping skills can greatly advance your journey back to happiness and self-confidence.

Are you the kind of person who feels like they never have a peaceful moment? Your mind races from one anxious thought to the next. You’ve never quite understood this about yourself before, but you are now putting the pieces together. The experiences of your childhood (or your past) always left you wondering. What difficult thing would happen next? To cope, you tried to anticipate (the anxious thoughts!) what would happen next to keep yourself out of the “line of fire.” But you are an adult now, and you want to reclaim your peace. You know that you have more control over deciding how your life will go.

I am pretty traditional in my beliefs about the purpose of therapy, but not your traditional therapist.I do not sit with a notebook and write down everything you say with a hmm at the end before I collect my fee.I am interactive and even directive sometimes. I guess that's why I work well with teenagers:) So, if you want therapy to be fun, I'm your gal. My specialty area has been adolescents and addiction for over 30 years, but I see adults too (codependence, divorce, parent alienation) etc. I am also a past President of LPCA, and operate a new virtual business called ProjectEvolve.com.
