Teletherapy for Old Fourth Ward - Atlanta, GA

We may sometimes feel that we are not able to embody our identify and beliefs. Feeling you should be something you are not is unbearable: what is core to you can be honored, and what is not can be examined and then embraced, accepted or changed. What we choose to value, and how we pursue those values, dictate what we are to become. Some things cannot be changed, and yet we can choose how we move around them. Being true to yourself can sometimes seem like a difficult choice, and we all must decide when and how to realize our potential, even in the face of adversity.

Are you feeling mentally and physically exhausted? Do you find yourself meeting the needs and wants of work, family and other projects but not having enough energy left to focus on you? We give so much to others that we often forget it is essential to take care of ourself first. Sometimes we do not recognize the impact that stress, anxiety, and depression have on our mental and physical state because we are on ‘auto-pilot’. Being mindful of our mind and body leads to awareness, healing, and peace.

As a client-centered therapist, I believe in the human capacity to "self-actualize." In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when you're able to reach your full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this work. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I am in the empathy business. I use connection and evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients clarify their "why" and navigate a path to deeper fulfillment—professionally and personally.

My practice primarily focuses on helping people who struggle in relationships. I use attachment theory to identify the type of dysfunction/trauma you adapted to early in life. These adaptations often create dysfunction or dissatisfaction in your relationships as an adult. We focus on how you attach to partners, peers, work, and yourself in ways that reflect your past and work on changing them in the present.

I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents experiencing a variety of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self-harm, suicidality, and issues related to trauma and overcontrol. I am guided by the philosophy that all individuals have the intrinsic capacity for resilience and healing, and meet clients with warmth, authenticity, and empathy to develop a plan of treatment based on their specific needs and unique strengths.

I am a coach and licensed psychotherapist committed to helping you identify your strengths and reach your goals. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief & loss, life transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, poor self- esteem, and relationship problems. To adapt to the needs of each unique client, I utilize an eclectic approach to evidence-based treatment.

Creating safe spaces where disappointments, shame, or fear can be processed through is my goal as a therapist. Whether your journey is short or long, I aim to come along side you for support as you find peace and personal growth. Whether it's working with young adults, families, or couples the goal is to create change that is tailor made for the individual or family unit. My therapeutic style is authentic, warm, and inviting; and I work from a strengths based perspective that promotes inner healing and self compassion.

I'm drawn to Robert Frost's saying "the best way out is always through." It captures a sense of deep suffering and illustrates the type of relief that the process of therapy can bring. As a psychotherapist, I walk beside you on that journey. I offer a safe place for exploration and the accountability necessary for change. I am licensed in the states of New York and Georgia and see individuals as well as couples in my practice. Although I treat a wide range of issues, I specialize in the areas of addiction, grief, and trauma.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am humbled to walk with people in the middle of their pain into a place of healing. I see you as a whole person and not a diagnosis. I foster an environment of safety and entering into your adversity. My goal is to help you on the journey to healing and hope. If faith and spirituality is something clients are interested in then; she is a trained Christian Counselor. She uses the integrative approach to meet people where they are at. (The integrative approach uses both psychology and biblical principles to treat the people on a holistic level.)

You're probably stressed and overwhelmed with relationships, work, school, family dynamics....life in general. It's hard to find the right harmony when you're juggling so many things. That's where I come in: to walk with you through life's ups and downs & help you live in alignment with your values. You'll learn new ways to communicate, manage emotions, & connect so you can experience more joy in life. You'll better understand yourself and your relationships so you can show up for yourself and the important people in your life. It's hard work to dive into knowing yourself better, but the work pays off with more joy & peace in life!

Working through trauma requires tremendous courage. It is an honor to walk alongside survivors as they confront the past in order to live a more vibrant future. Whether you are dealing with triggers, flashbacks, nightmares, relationship issues, anxiety, chronic health problems, or simply struggling to stop thinking about unpleasant events from the past, trauma can affect us all differently. Trauma therapy looks different for everyone as well. Sessions are structured around the pacing and support you need. I'm here to help dispel shame around the patterns we have developed in response to adversity and support self-empowerment.

I want you to move from just surviving to a point in which you are thriving. You just took a HUGE step, so thank you for being here right now. I am devoted to helping you feel and function better. Just getting through the day may feel challenging right now. It's just too much to sort through or overcome on your own. You may not know where to start - It's a lot...whew. You might feel misunderstood by friends and family; that's what I'm here for. I do the 'work' of helping you even outside of our sessions, to help you get better FASTER.
