Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Marietta, GA
My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or ongoing conflict in their relationships and is searching for a safe, steady place to sort through what they’re experiencing.

I specialize in working with people who are experiencing increased anxiety and stress, struggling with panic and responses to trauma, and navigating daily-life with obsessions and compulsions. I know that awareness brings change. One of the greatest tasks then for therapy is to gain insight and understanding as to what leads to feeling sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. So often, our first desire is to get rid of these experiences, but as we demonstrate the courage to understand and accept all parts of ourselves, we gain access to balance, self-guidance, and the peace that is missing in life.

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. It is an alternative to social media for kids.

I have openings for day time appointments during the week days. I work with teens and adults to treat anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Brainspotting and neuro-science focused Therapist. Brainspotting looks different than typical talk therapy. It is a relational, brain-body, and mindfulness-based practice.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who want to become more grounded, connected, and authentic versions of themselves. They often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected in relationships, struggling with anxiety, burnout, communication challenges, life transitions, or patterns they no longer want to carry. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and understood while learning practical tools, exploring deeper emotional patterns, strengthening relationships, and building lasting change rooted in self-awareness and connection.

All of us, at some time or other, need help. I work primarily with teens and young adults who are navigating life and find that they need a little help. My background is in working with kids and adults who are grieving, as well as supporting folks with anxiety, depression, and other life transitions. I use art and play with my younger clients to support them in building coping skills, self-esteem, and emotional understanding. I believe in meeting my clients where they are, working with them to recognize their strengths, and supporting them on their path to resilience and post-traumatic growth.

You’re doing so much. People around you might see you as capable and put together. And still, there’s that familiar mix of self doubt, “I should be further along by now,” and the low key exhaustion of trying to keep it all going without losing yourself.
Whether you’re in college, starting a new job, quietly asking yourself “what’s next,” or stuck in mental health struggles that leave you scared and drained, therapy can be a place that is just for you. In both individual and group sessions, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and help you step into living confidently.

Gray Story Counseling and Wellness is a place where you can come undone and leave understood. Perhaps shame, fear, lack of self worth, or the trials of life have kept you from seeking out support?

Not to worry, I also help my clients identify where to begin their healing journey.
