Therapists in Scottdale, GA

You are not your diagnosis. My holistic approach to therapy provides immediate support to you when times are hard. I treat the whole person in front of me, not the symptoms of the presenting problem. I provide you with coping skills, tools, and resources to help you start making the changes you want to make in your life. Healing takes time – I walk alongside you during your journey towards mental well-being. If things have become too much and you need a support system, I’ll be there to help you out of the hole of depression, anxiety, trauma, or whatever else you’re experiencing. You’re not alone.

Starting your mental health journey may feel overwhelming and intimidating, but you don't have to do it all on your own. If you’re experiencing a major life transition, you might feel afraid of what's coming next or that you'll miss what you're leaving behind. You might be struggling in your relationships, or consumed with anxious thoughts. I'm here to walk with you in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment as you navigate the challenges you're facing.
