Feeling stuck? Wanting personal or relational healing? I am a marriage and family therapist and enjoy helping individuals, couples, or families discover new pathways of change that they were not aware of and walking that journey with them. Understanding how we may have learned to attach to others makes change more transformational than behavioral. I also seek to walk along side women struggling emotionally with the changes that occur in pregnancy and after. I am a licensed therapist and can provide in person therapy in Cumming or remotely to anyone in the state of GA

Feeling like life has gotten beyond your abilities to handle? Perhaps you're stressed out from work, or the loss of a loved one. Perhaps there are struggles in your marriage, or you're wondering what's going on with your kids. Perhaps you are engaged and simply wanting to set yourself and your partner up for a successful marriage. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with a mental health concern and now you are concerned with how to help them. Or perhaps you or a loved one is struggling with self-harm or thoughts of suicide. Life may be difficult, but it can still be one worth living.

My practice is fairly evenly divided across individuals, couples and corporations. I address issues ranging from anxiety, depression, marital/relationship, parenting/family concerns to life transitions and executive/organizational development. I received my doctorate in 1986 and went on to serve as president of the Georgia Psychological Association from 1999-2000. I rely on a blend of cognitive behavioral and family systems therapy to help clients develop a practical, common sense path to change. The central premise is that in order to change your life, you must first understand how it used to work and why it doesn't anymore.

Is your world changing seemingly by the minute and sometimes you do not know which end is up? Are you struggling with managing stress and anxiety, or depression? Are you struggling with chemical dependence or addiction and do not know where to turn? Maybe you struggle with poor self-esteem, poor self-image, or low self-worth? Are you struggling with unhealthy relationships, or a marriage that needs some tweaking? Are you a high school or college student that needs help finding direction? Are you looking for a life-focus or purpose and seem to be stuck? Are you in a season of life that needs to change but do not know where to start?

Your current life situations do not have to predict your tomorrow. If you are ready to move away from the past I can help. My passion is to help others find freedom from the issues that are causing difficulties and pain. Freedom comes from resolving the issues that are causing the difficulties. Freedom can be found in many forms such as: mending relationships, putting an addiction to rest, developing boundaries, facing depression and anxiety or rebuilding a broken marriage. The road to tomorrow is paved by the work you do today.
