Therapists in Atlanta, GA

As the 1st Black female Brainspotting trainer in the world, I seek to humanize mental health struggles, representation and champion therapy to everyone as the path to normalizing/living a healthy, active, fulfilling life. Freedom, self-confidence, courage, a healthy sense of self; what's stopping you? Barriers to acceptance exist, often buried deep within the layers of experience, trauma, divorce, unmet needs, unhealed hurts, depression, anxiety, less than desired self esteem, family systems, unhealthy relationships, anger, feelings of being misunderstood, symptoms of diagnosis, poor communication skills and the list goes on.

Asking for help can be really hard! Talking to a stranger can be uncomfortable. So, I strive to make this process a little bit easier by creating a safe and comfortable space that puts you at ease. Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Depressed? Anxious? Struggling with self-esteem? Whatever it is that you are going through, my goal is to empower you! I believe that everyone has what they need within them. My goal is to help you bring that out. I work with you to take your expertise in your life and combine it with my clinical knowledge and skills to tailor techniques and strategies to you and your goals.

I am passionate about helping individuals and families restore or cultivate emotional, physical, and social well-being and tranquility. So whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed, or unmotivated, I am here to help you.

We all have emotional wounds from the past. Left untreated, these experiences can harm us mentally, affect our relationships and make us unhappy. Therapy can help you explore, understand and ultimately heal by addressing the painful memories broken hearts, resentments, worries, and regrets that are often the root cause of the problem. By allowing ourselves to heal and grow, this experiences can also become sources of strengths and wisdom. I offer over a decade of experience as a clinical psychologist, helping people plant the seeds of change.

Are you anxious, stressed out, feeling burned out? Are you struggling to remain calm and finding yourself over-reacting to even minor issues? Is it affecting your relationships at work? With your partner? Kids? Are you overwhelmed by deadlines, demands, and to-dos, yet finding it hard to motivate? Are you constantly worried about the future and feel stuck in a cycle of "what ifs"? Do past experiences haunt your thoughts? If any of this is robbing you of joy in your daily life and you find yourself battling an underlying sense of nervousness that just won't go away, know that there is a way forward.

I believe in the power of therapy to transform, heal and reprogram so that you can lead a full life. Are you having trouble being who you want to be in your relationships?

I am committed to providing a compassionate space for you to be heard in order to explore old hurts, navigate present difficulties, and find relief from emotional pain and anxiety. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that access both conscious and subconscious issues.

I deeply believe that each individual has the strength and resilience to make the changes to live the life they desire. Stress and trauma can distance us from our core selves, resulting in depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. My hope is to create space for clients to slow down, reflect, and heal. I work with those who are interested in gaining personal insight, integrating learnings, and reconnecting with their confidence and goodness. I would love to connect with you, especially if you are dealing with grief (medical diagnosis, loss, unmet expectations), maternal mental health issues (fertility, relationship), or trauma.

I help people gain awareness of how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves, find ways to remove obstacles to emotional growth, and move towards feeling more connected.

The heart of my work lies at working with issues related to self-worth, anxiety, "big T" and "little t" trauma, complex/difficult relationships, and spirituality.

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 approach is seen through a cultural lens that validates and normalizes your lived experiences and humanity. I am here to be a conduit for your healing journey by recognizing the wear and tear societal pressures may inflict on your mind and body. My work centers Black & POC individuals, couples, and families who struggle to create harmonious relationships with themselves and others due to learned dysfunctional patterns and intergenerational trauma from systemic inequities (familial, cultural, and societal).

I believe that entering therapy is an act of courage and trust, and I take that trust seriously. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and respectful therapeutic experience.

We’ll build on your strengths and resilience as we work to develop new ways of coping and increased self-understanding. You’ll find that my therapeutic style is warm, personable, active, and down-to-earth.
