Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Milton, GA

My main focus is to help clients identify and build on their personal strengths so they can overcome the obstacles preventing them from realizing their full potential. My first priority when I meet with a client is to collaboratively establish therapy goals and determine what they would like to attain from the counseling process. Based on this information I personalize each session to help my clients achieve their goals. With every interaction, my goal is always the same: that you leave my office feeling that you were heard and validated.

Are you worried that your teen daughter is stressed or depressed? Are you frustrated with the lack of communication or defiant behavior? Are you concerned about your teen's difficulties in regu? Modern teen-hood for girls is a very difficult time in life, one that needs a specific set of coping skills. The rise in peer pressure, competitive conflicts, and unhealthy social media messages are all likely contributors to a national increase in anxiety, depression and low self-worth in girls. Counseling can help teen girls to improve decision-making, managing stress, and learning coping strategies to better set them up for future success

Welcome! My practice is open during early EVENING hours to accommodate after school schedules. I have been fortunate to have 19 years of counseling experience in both the school setting and the private sector, working with children ranging in ages 5-18, adults, and with families. While working with children and adolescents, I believe that the family dynamic is an extremely important part of the therapeutic process, and will often involve parents and siblings in therapy when it is helpful. I also work with parents who need support with parenting help in many different scenarios (toddlers to teens).

My mission as a counselor is to meet every client where they are in their journey of life with the hopes of being able to aid them with tools to navigate appropriately through life. I use a holistic therapeutic approach with the overall goal in mind to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves regarding their spiritual, physical, mental and emotional well-being, coupled with approaches ranging from Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy.

In an effort to accomplish all that is in the best interest of the client, I utilize an integrative and culturally diverse therapeutic approach to assist clients and families.

Do you feel that you have to act like everything in your life is perfect when inside you are feeling overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, or anxiety? Do you feel like getting out of bed every day is a struggle because your sadness keeps you from enjoying time with family and friends and putting on a “happy face” is just too difficult? Imagine waking up eager to take on life’s challenges, feeling confident that whatever problems you face, whether home, job or relationship, you have the ability to recognize and overcome them. Our past experiences can hinder us from living up to our potential.

In my view, therapy is like taking that first step in the darkness to find the keys to unlock the door that leads inside to a brighter, happier version of yourself.

Along the way, I focus on teaching skills to help people become their own therapist afterwords, to heal themselves, when they are ready.

With 23 years experience working with children and families, previously as a school counselor, I now work as a Licensed Professional Counselor in a busy private practice in downtown Alpharetta. My therapeutic philosophy is based on the belief that a counselor's role is to empower clients with the tools to unlock their fullest potential. I love working with clients of all ages as they strive to overcome their challenges with insight, growth and solutions.

In my work with couples, adults, and teens, my hope is that clients will leave therapy confident in their strengths, equipped to make wise choices, and empowered to maintain healthier lives and relationships. While the content of sessions depends on client needs/preferences, I typically work to alleviate negative symptoms within the context of current circumstances, help identify the root of challenges, and modify unhealthy cognitive and emotional processes. I use interventions that help clients break through an impasse and equip them with practical solutions for future problem-solving. I offer targeted short-term counseling or in-depth therapy that identifies and replaces negative patterns.

Welcome to Medallion Therapy, where healing and innovation meet through the convenience of Telehealth services. "A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." This poignant reflection from B.F. Skinner resonates deeply with those grappling with addiction—a challenge that is often misperceived as a string of personal failures rather than the medical condition it truly is. Addiction's complexity can confuse even those closest to us—family and friends who watch helplessly, misconstruing the situation due to its intricate and inconsistent nature.
