Therapists in Marietta, GA

Life can come at you pretty fast and knock you down pretty hard, leaving you feeling helpless, hopeless, afraid, and anxious. We all can lose our footing and confidence in who we are. People often just need someone with an open, non-judgmental ear, to listen to, understand, and guide them to better choices that will lead to a better family, work, and personal life. Others may require deeper more intensive therapeutic approaches due to chronic exposure to trauma.

My professional beliefs are based in theory that believes all people want to feel significant, connected and capable and therefore all behavior has a purpose. Patterns and themes develop in people’s lives often discouraging them and at times can inhibit growth and or decrease abilities to function effectively. Many times our patterns and themes can be traced back several generations. I spend the first several sessions getting to know you, your family history and exploring current significant relationships. From these sessions, we will jointly agree to the goals of treatment.

I am a Christian therapist trained in many techniques, interventions, and approaches (i.e., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Humanistic); however, my focus is on working with my clients to meet their need for counseling.
