Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Life is often not easy. And even when it is good, it can be challenging. We all struggle, wonder, and do our best with all that we have been given - our families and stories, our hopes and fears, abilities and blindspots. Psychotherapy can provide a place to better understand our stories or to heal from past traumas. It can help us address challenges in our relationships or develop new and better ways of being together. It can also provide a safe space to explore ourselves, to better understand who we are and what we want and need in order to live the life we have been given in the best way possible.

As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients like you feel seen, heard, and supported as you get clear on what’s holding you back and learn new ways to move forward.
