Relational Therapists in 30346

There are many gifts with being a therapist, including being witness to significant, positive change. I have worked since 2005 with many individuals facing mental health challenges, difficult life transitions, and challenging relationships of all kinds. I have also had a career in the business arena holding leadership positions, so I am uniquely able to offer insight and guidance surrounding navigating work and how our lives can be both positively or negatively impacted by what we do (boundaries, communication, work/life balance, etc.).

Do you want to live a balanced life and feel happy? Perhaps you are constantly facing obstacles and challenges in your life that are impacting your holistic wellness and authentic relationships. The anxiety and depression can be detrimental. I can help you, guide you, and support you as you process various issues related to your cultural/sexual identity, anxiety related to transitions and relationships, grief, trauma, depression, etc. I can help you gain a deeper insight and self-awareness that will allow you to get closer to your goals, make better decisions, and have a better quality of life in a holistic manner using mindfulness.

From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one’s fears, perception, desires, and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation, and fuller life.

Whether you are entering into a serious relationship or have been with your partner for years, Couples College provides support to strengthen your relationship. We offer private marriage counseling, a partner skills-training course and individual counseling. Our work is designed for every age, ability, orientation and relationship stage. Twice a year the Couples College offers "When Love is Not Enough" - a course where couples work together to create a partnership for life. Beginning in September and February every year.

*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children* We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families achieve a better state of emotional wellness and quality of life for themselves and with others. I also strive to create a greater sense of awareness, purpose and progress in people to help foster a more satisfying life by managing depression, anxiety and other life stressors and ills. My approach is collaborative and empowering, and treatment is specifically tailored to each person's needs.

There is a core need in each of us to feel known, heard, loved, wanted, and that we belong in a meaningful way. I work with people who are seeking to know clearly who they are and how they can be wholly themselves while being in a vibrant relationship at the same time.

I love working with children, adults and families of all kinds. Individuals and families who are navigating the impacts of change, difference in neurotypes, changes in identity, loss, divorce or simply feeling disconnected can get stuck. Seeking support and finding time to dedicate to therapy is a brave first step in determining your course, and I honor you for it. I welcome people of all backgrounds in my practice and have experience working with diverse populations including autistic individuals, people with ADD/ADHD, the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

I adhere to the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." My primary goal as a counselor is to enable my clients to capitalize on the strength that resides within each of them. I seek to provide a healthy atmosphere for individuals, couples, and families to work through the issues holding them back from living their best life.

Relationships are hard. Sometimes we experience anxiety around navigating a new relationship, or we’re trying to take our current relationship to the next level and we’re not sure what that next level is. For some of us, we’re experiencing so much frustration around being misunderstood or betrayed by our partner. For others, we just have so much tension in our relationship that it feels like we’re stuck in a never ending cycle of issues. It’s exhausting. So, how do we navigate the parts of us that want to connect and the parts of us that want to protect? I say, let's explore that together.
