Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Marietta, GA

I am passionate about working with children and teens (4+) as they navigate anxiety, depression, complex trauma, behavioral issues, ADHD, life transitions, and building healthy relationships. I also enjoy working alongside perinatal and postpartum women with concerns including anxiety and depression, grief/loss, parenting, and adjusting to motherhood. As a therapist, I am committed to making clients feel comfortable and respected in a warm, safe space throughout the therapeutic process.

Are you struggling with sadness, motherhood stress, anger, relationships, or family? Are you feeling emotionally drained? Or maybe your child is having behavioral challenges, racial identity issues, or a hard time adjusting to a relocation, divorce or separation, or other change(s) in their life? I help rebuild and reunify individuals and families by teaching coping skills and better communication skills to children ages 3-18, adults, and families. I use different therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of my clients and achieve results. I help children and adults learn how to understand, control, and share their emotions appropriately, and make better choices.

My desire is to help others find freedom from the areas in life where they feel stuck. Specifically, my goal in counseling is to meet you where you are, help you identify your innate strengths, and learn how the things you have been through in the past have influenced you. I desire to create a safe space where you can move towards healing and restoration.

Are you going through life changes that have caused you to feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed or lonely? Oftentimes, in the midst of changes we forget about our own personal well-being. When this happens, we may struggle with finding our voice to communicate our needs. You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can assist you with working through these difficult times.

Most people are doing the best they know how to do and as a therapist it is my job to meet you wherever you may be in that journey. Given the right support, anyone can learn strategies and techniques to undo negative thoughts, overwhelming feelings and destructive behaviors. In addition to teaching you new coping skills, my holistic work emphasizes lifestyle modification as an integral piece of the wellness puzzle highlighting nutrition, physical health, sleep routines, thought patterns and social connections. With compassion and respect, we will work together to form an actionable plan that leads you to mental wellness.

In life it can feel like there are many barriers we have to break through. We feel like all the pressure is on us and sometimes we do not feel supported, seen, or understood. We may doubt ourselves. We have the pressure of career, children ( postpartum and fertility), relationships, and it can be exhausting, not to mention overwhelming. Also, military families experience that at a double rate! However, we do not have to break those barriers down alone! Our goal is to help our clients understand self-love, compassion, and assist in problem solve and create a safe space to overcome the barriers in life.

Are you tired of being the “strong friend”? The one that everyone knows they can depend on, and so rarely experiencing this in return. Are you struggling silently and maybe a bit confused about it all? Do you feel the need to constantly “do better” or “do more”? Even though deep down you know that you are doing so much already, yet for some reason, you continue to feel inadequate or out of place. Are you ready to heal a relationship? Do you feel that there may be a past trauma that is preventing you from your own healing? Are you navigating new life transitions? Are you ready to talk with someone about your depression or anxiety?

My counseling style can be described as warm, empathetic, and accepting. Perhaps you come to therapy with a specific concern and goal in mind or maybe you are seeking counseling due to a general feeling of being stuck and unsatisfied. Whatever issue prompts you to seek help, therapy can provide an intentional place to pause, process emotions, and find clarity about what you need. I have a special passion for working with adults experiencing stress and anxiety and those prone to perfectionism and people-pleasing. Often in my work with clients, we explore the need to honor one's sense of self and establish healthy boundaries.

You want to "feel more like yourself" with your children, at work, and in your intimate relationships. You want to love freely, find balance, or prepare for a change. We can explore the WHYs or focus on the HOWs. I can help you understand the repeating patterns that impact your well-being and gain new skills to create and discover choices. I offer consultations for brief focused therapy, long-term psychotherapy, coaching, and referrals to other specialists.
