Si sientes la necesidad de un cambio en tus relaciones o dentro de ti mismo, ahora es el momento. Mereces un espacio seguro para hablar. Imagine finding yourself at the crossroads of personal growth and relational exploration. If you're feeling the need for change in your relationships or within yourself, now is the time. In the dynamic tapestry of your life, you're navigating shifts in relationships—be it personal or professional. This journey isn't just about understanding those around you; it's about unraveling the layers within yourself. It's about the exploration of identity, purpose, and stories that shape your connections.

You may have done talk therapy before, but somehow something is still missing… What you discussed made logical sense, and sometimes felt cathartic and enlightening, but it didn’t bring the deep emotional release you thought it would. There is a disconnect that you just can’t describe, as if your brain and body are moving in two different directions as you grapple with trauma. You’ve done your research, and you’re ready to take the plunge, diving deeper into trauma healing like you never have before. You may feel nervous, or unsure what to expect, but something deep inside pushes you forward.

Life challenges, heartbreak, confusion, and pain can keep us from living and growing well. I believe holistic, multidimensional care—relational, emotional, somatic, and spiritual—moves us towards the fullness of life we were meant for. Through the lens of narrative focused trauma care, attachment theory, and somatic approaches, it would be an honor to join you on your journey towards experiencing hope, healing, and wholeness.

I believe that self-awareness is one of the core pillars that aid in the alleviation of suffering. The simplest of lifestyle changes can create immense improvements in the quality of one’s life. Establishing a safe and trusting relationship with a therapist, can relieve psychological and physical imbalances, as well as uncover the unhealthy habits, patterns, and behaviors that lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and chronic pain. My practice focuses on the specific needs of women and girls throughout the lifespan.

I want to offer you more than traditional talk therapy, I want to offer you a space to find an inner connection with your mind, body, and soul through exploring emotions, sensations, dreams and the things left unspoken. Sometimes if we skip over our emotions, our bodies will express them through symptomology, and navigating immune sensitivities is complicated. My hope is that the therapy room becomes an experiential space where you hash out what it feels like to engage in safety, connection, resonating with another person. We can navigate this through somatic based EMDR, applied polyvagal, somatic experiencing.

Compassion. Collaboration. Change. Seeking help takes courage, and choosing a therapist can be an empowering, but intimidating first step. I strive to cultivate a meaningful relationship with each of my clients, so it can feel safe to explore your story. Together we look for themes and identify next right steps. I specialize in helping clients who struggle with the effects of childhood and complex trauma, addiction, marital and intimacy issues, life transitions, boundary difficulties, and self-esteem. I enjoy working with men and women of all ages and stages of life who want to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

I specialize in working with people who are experiencing increased anxiety and stress, struggling with panic and responses to past trauma, and navigating daily-life with obsessions and compulsions. I know that awareness brings change. One of the greatest tasks then for therapy is to gain insight and understanding as to what leads to feeling sad and anxious. So often our first desire is to get rid of these experiences, but as we demonstrate the courage to understand and accept all parts of ourselves, we gain access to clarity, harmony, and peace that is often missing in life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor who is trauma-informed, strengths-focused and enjoys bringing humor and creativity into the therapy room. My aim is to create a supportive, open space where I work with clients collaboratively to create goals for treatment and empower clients towards living a life where they find meaning and purpose. I provide clients with skills towards accepting thoughts and emotions, learning how to manage challenging emotions, finding peace in the present moment, resolving trauma responses and difficult memories.

Are you sitting at your work desk and giving a fake smile to those who pass by as you secretly are scrolling the internet for a therapist? Are you tired of putting on this mask as you independently struggle with loneliness, depression, a relationship or anxiety? Do you find yourself hiding your despair because your life "looks great on paper?" One thing I know is your feelings are valid. Let's work together to uncover what is really going on. These feelings are not abnormal, and you need a therapist who can help you discover their root cause.

Our Clients often present w/ concerns pertaining to: – Generational relationship issues and navigating patterns of communication – Difficulty finding peace, balance, emotional wellness in daily life – Couples who are experiencing challenges, causing communication failure and/or detachment – High stress environments resulting in symptoms/triggers of anxiety/stress – Difficulty navigating significant life transition.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice in the East Cobb area of Marietta. I have 35 years of experience as a counselor and have been in private practice for 25 years. I see adults for individual and marital/couples therapy and specialize in helping people with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety/panic, trauma, grief, marital and relationship problems, ADD/ADHD, and life transitions. I will work with you by blending traditional therapy methods with mind/body techniques to help you achieve change in your life.

Searching for the right therapist is not only difficult, it’s redundant. So let me make this easy for you. My own life experiences have led me to work passionately with young LGBTQ+ and straight adults experiencing life transitions issues, anxiety, depression, grief, or ADHD. I am known for my direct and honest communication style — all in the comfort of couch cushions. I work to create a safe space by first focusing on building trust within the therapeutic relationship all while building self care routines and mental wellness skills. I welcome humor, “real talk” and (appropriate) self-disclosure is my jam.

It takes courage to reach out and I am here to support and empower you. I want to help clients feel more affirmed, heard, and I want to provide a safe and open space to discuss issues. I hope clients leave feeling more encouraged, motivated, and relieved to take on life's issues.

Hey, I’m glad you made it here! Have you ever experienced events in your life that have been overwhelming, hard to process, or difficult to move on from? Trauma is a spectrum, most people have experienced some degree of it in their life. With this, other issues like depression, anxiety, struggles with emotions, negative thoughts, and others—often develop as a result. They can disrupt daily life and disconnect us from ourselves and others. My goal is to empower, teach skills, and provide resources and insight to help you create more space, clarity, confidence, and freedom from the past so that you can experience the life you want.

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies that once protected us are causing us even more pain. Together we can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck in order for you to move into the wholeness you desire. Many times when healing feels impossible, it is only an indication that what we have tried so far will not suffice. Often this requires slowing down and trusting parts of ourselves that we have long ignored.

Embracing change can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Even when our life experiences have a negative impact on us and those we care about, breaking away from familiarity can be challenging. Often, we find ourselves unsure of where to start. Seeking counseling can be the first step towards creating a life that aligns with our desires and aspirations.

We all want to create lives that are joyful, deeply satisfying, and connected to others. Yet no one goes through this world unscathed by the difficult people, circumstances, and experiences we all encounter along the way. To survive, we generally organize our lives around 2 things – how we manage our pain and how we manage our relationships. And sometimes those survival strategies, intended at one point to protect us, end up keeping us from the very things we long for. Or we feel stuck or overwhelmed by events, and are not sure how to navigate our inner, emotional, or relational worlds alone.
