Therapists in Marietta, GA

My specialty is couples counseling and sex therapy. I also address issues of spiritually and self-esteem. I work with couples around affair recovery, perpetual conflictual interactions, and help couples develop and maintain intimate emotional and sexual relationships. I work with individuals to help them overcome painful childhood experiences and guide them to connect to others in healthy ways. I treat couples and individuals for orgasmic difficulties, disparate and low desire, body image issues, erectile difficulties, delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, and lack of emotional intimacy during sex.

My goal is to advocate for safety and support with every individual and couple that walks through my door. I am learning the complexity of how pain and suffering impact each person and how quickly we organize our lives and relationships to avoid it. I will create a compassionate space for you to unpack your pain and dress the wounds that keep you from feeling understood, connected, and at peace. With every step you take in your healing journey, I will walk alongside offering effective tools, humor and metaphors, and endless empathy for you to reach the goals you want to achieve.

Are you searching for a counselor because it feels like your life is falling apart? Well, you are not alone. You may have experienced a difficult childhood and convinced yourself “It’s in the past…It was no big deal.” Except, it is a big deal because, the past affects our present. Shame convinces individuals that they are bad instead of understanding that something bad happened. Having a counselor that can listen with an open mind and heart, and validate your pain is a start. I too have been where you are. I know how to walk beside you in your journey of healing and restoration.

I work with a therapy dog in person (Hypoallergenic). Let me know of any concerns. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression making it hard to navigate your day-to-day tasks? Is your past trauma keeping you stuck from living a full life? Are you exploring your sexual or gender identity and concerned about how it will interact with relationships around you? I meet my clients where they are, without judgment, and we work together to create a space for hope and healing.

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies that once protected us are causing us even more pain. Together we can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck in order for you to move into the wholeness you desire. Many times when healing feels impossible, it is only an indication that what we have tried so far will not suffice. Often this requires slowing down and trusting parts of ourselves that we have long ignored.

Have you recently been experiencing the effects of repressed emotions? Do you feel you could manage your stress, anxiety, or depression better?
