Therapists in Marietta, GA

My therapeutic approach is strength based and integrative, utilizing solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, emotionally focused therapy, and experiential methods. I believe the therapeutic relationship is vital. By utilizing a core humanistic approach, based on trust, nonjudgmental, and a genuine unconditional positive regard. I help clients gain insight into the past and evaluate present living to create a new perspective. Awareness of self and others, coping skills, and motivation of present living is explored to create new patterns of thought, new emotional responses, and new behaviors to not only heal and reach your goal but to thrive and live fully.

I have a passion for helping people move through their individual seasons of life. I enjoy providing a space for clients to explore how their life experiences, both past and present, are influencing who they are and how they can move forward with living a life with purpose. Bringing awareness to change is an opportunity to investigate personal grow and evolve regardless of your ‘season’, which can be overwhelming when we want to feel heard and supported. While working with me, I will strive to collaborate with you and provide empathy, honest communication, and support in the therapeutic process.

I know from experience both as the therapist and as the client that making the decision to go to therapy & setting up that first appointment is often the hardest part. I hope that you're proud of yourself for taking that step & making it here. My goal is to connect personally with each client so that we can work collaboratively to identify problems and goals and create a plan for treatment.

You have the impression that no one understands you, or, worse, that no one will listen, no matter how hard you try to explain. You look around, and your circumstances have led you to believe that life couldn't possibly be more, that it was a broken thing far beyond saving. You keep thinking about past disappointments, pain, or loss and decide it's easier to keep everything bottled up inside. Yet, when you interact with your family, friends, and colleagues they appear to be happy, healthy and living their best lives. You want a better life for yourself and believe it is possible, but you’re not sure how to get the ball rolling.

You are searching for a safe space. You wish to process experiences, emotions, and relationships that you feel stuck in. You hope to receive support navigating conflict, stressors, and trauma.

After completing my undergraduate studies at Mercer University, I embraced the life of an entrepreneur. This journey brought many valuable insights that enhanced my understanding of human lived experiences. To a greater extent, this period heightened my ability to effectively connect and empathize with people of all walks of life. Over time I have adopted techniques from many disciplines within the field of psychotherapy. DBT, CBT and Solution Focused Therapy are those I most frequently employ. They offer much needed practical tools for patients in moments of acute crisis and provide the critical avenues to hope and motivation.

Life has its struggles and learning how to cope with them can be exhausting. I aim to help you return to a peaceful state of mind. I will work alongside you to assist in recouping and empowering you with tools and skills to help resolve life's challenges and cultivate your desired life.

I am invested in helping individuals & couples navigate the challenges & milestones that surface in serious dating, pre-engagement, engagement, and married relationships. I am a certified facilitator for several evidence-based relationship-building inventory programs that help reduce vulnerability of a failed relationship. Research shows that most people wait until they are six years into a relationship before they reach for the help, direction, and support they need. I help intentional couples build resilient bonds by more deeply understanding one another through learning & practicing tools to enrich their relationship.

“You’re a person, not a diagnosis.” That phrase appears on my website and my business cards because it goes to the heart of my philosophy about therapy. While diagnoses may be helpful for medical treatments, you’re a person with real hopes, dreams, fears, and problems. Listening with respect is the beginning of our relationship, and I engage in “active listening” – asking questions for clarification, and making connections to a person’s past. Together, we’ll identify the issues facing you. Then, we’ll map out a plan to deal with those issues. In this way, I often serve as a life coach in addition to being a therapist.

You live the same life, week after week. You can’t really pinpoint what’s wrong. But you can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Or maybe you do know what it is and what you should be doing, but you can’t seem to get any consistent forward momentum. You criticize yourself in the hopes that it will spur some action or you deny your needs and desires. If anything, it makes you feel even more despondent. Time passes, the same week, again and again, and you wonder if things will ever change.
