Therapists in Sandy Springs, GA

I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. As a clinician, I have worked in both family counseling and holistic wellness settings. My areas of specialty are Individual Therapy, Teletherapy, and Hypnotherapy. I work with a variety of different concerns women face, such as Trauma, Adjustment Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Shame, (OCD), and Health/Caregiver concerns. My theoretical approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Theory, while incorporating perspectives and interventions from Narrative, Feminist, and Existential Theories.

You have arrived at this place wanting to explore deeper meanings of life, perhaps gain control over things that seem in disarray, or wish to make an internal shift to a place of peace, well-being, strength, and inner harmony. Pursuing therapy is a courageous decision. Whatever the challenges may be, I am happy to journey with you on this path of healing, overcoming, and anchoring. The counseling space that I offer will enable you to lean into your inner wisdom, strengths, skills, and capabilities.

I look forward to working alongside you on your personal goals whether it be coping better with anxiety or depression, setting better boundaries with your friends and family, or supporting along your grief journey. I have experience in several areas including: foster children, foster/adoptive parents, sexual assault survivors, medically fragile children and their caregivers, and individuals at end of life.

Are you a teen or adult feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Do you want to return to feeling like yourself again? Transitions through life stages, losses, new posts/job transfers, relational difficulties, & divorce/separation can contribute to feeling anxious, depressed, or withdrawn. As a human, you naturally want to grow, move forward, & be well again. I can help you reflect, understand, & integrate these experiences to facilitate change. I draw from developmental & systems perspectives to inform theory-based, evidence-supported practices. A safe therapeutic environment is essential for optimal development.

*Intensively Trained DBT Therapist* Deciding to begin therapy can be an anxiety provoking decision. That is why I provide an ease about coming to therapy and attempt to make my clients feel comfortable beginning this process. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults helping them get through difficult transitions in their lives. I do a lot of work challenging people to explore their aggression, self-harming behaviors, drugs and alcohol use, suicidal ideations, depression and anxiety. I also enjoy working with adults dealing with life transitions and helping them improve their moods and perspectives on life.

From everyday to major issues, we can all use some extra support at times. I specialize in working with couples & women through life transitions. Whether you're struggling with conflict/communication, infidelity, step-parenting, dating, life stress, anxiety, motherhood, or self-worth, I'm here to help. I also have experience with grief/loss & spiritual concerns. No matter how stuck, confused, or overwhelmed you may feel, we all have the ability to grow & change. Healthy, fulfilling relationships (with yourself or others) are possible but at times we need some guidance and help in achieving them. That's the benefit of therapy!

Sex and relationship problems can feel overwhelming and sometime even painful... AND they're hard to talk about! Then those problems start causing MORE problems in other parts of your life. BUT, what would it be like if you had the sexual relationship you wanted? or the intimacy you wanted? I provide a supportive, safe, non-judgmental, and private space for you to talk about the problems and pains without fear of judgment, shame, or guilt. If you're in a place where you're starting to feel like "I gotta do something," then call me now: 678.498.1465.

Does it feel like you're constantly trying to cross things off your to-do list that just continues to grow? Maybe doing basic tasks like cleaning up your kitchen, or even getting out of bed in the morning feels like the hardest thing ever. I love working with individuals who feel like they may be living with ADHD. As you get older, it might seem like life gets harder and the accommodations don't follow. Many of us need to learn to work with our brains and not against it. This looks different for everyone and my hope is to help you find ways to better understand yourself and what you need in order to accomplish your goals.

Are you overwhelmed? Stressed out? Do you feel like life is just one constant struggle and nobody seems willing to listen? Maybe you feel stuck in a job you hate or a relationship that is not healthy. Therapy can be just what you need to help you get unstuck, build some tools to help you better manage life, or even find your joy again. You don’t have to be crazy to benefit from therapy. I tell people all the time that therapy is designed to help you figure out what you want and the best way to get it. Honestly, we could all use professional help every now and then.

You’re finding it harder and hard to get up every day and put one foot in front of the other. Feelings of being lost and confused about what’s happening doesn’t seem to do your situation justice. Feelings of sadness, crying for reasons you can’t identify, lack of motivation, trouble sleeping, and lack of focus and worry are interfering with living your life. Efforts to cover up the result are starting to unravel because people are noticing, maybe even asking questions. Hiding it just ads another seemingly impossible task to everything going on. You feel hopeless about feeling better but want to desperately.

Do you struggle with self-esteem & recognize that its negatively impacting many aspects of your life? Are you having difficulty navigating life transitions, life challenges, & mental health concerns?

However, poor boundaries, unhealthy comparisons, rigid expectations, self-defeating negative thoughts, self-sabotage, grief, unresolved trauma, & unhealthy patterns get in the way.
