I am a licensed psychologist and a licensed marriage and family therapist. My approach is a humanistic, psychodynamic, and systemic one. My primary focus is helping individuals, couples, and families address those difficult issues in their lives which have been chronic and resistant to change. I also specialize in the treatment of personality disorders.

Empowering you with the tools and supports needed to resolve emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns is my goal. Operating from a strengths-based perspective, I meet you where you are on your personal journeys and facilitate a path for you to lead a more productive life. I strongly believe you have the skills needed to fulfill life goals and overcome challenges; but sometimes a guide is needed to address patterns of behaviors and problematic thinking that may be hindering your success. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where growth, self-exploration and positive change can occur.

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. You have already taken the first step toward change by seeking support. I believe emotional healing comes through the power of relationship and I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for this healing as I "walk beside" you for a season. I have 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families face life's challenges and would be honored to work with you.

Therapy is a process that can be an extremely rewarding journey in your life. We currently live in an anxiety-producing society and it’s easy to forget that our purpose is a path of self-actualization, or to be our best selves.

If you have reached a point in your life where you find yourself struggling with difficult feelings, thoughts, decisions, or behaviors--or if you are facing difficulties in your relationship--psychotherapy can help you find your way forward. For over 21 years I have provided psychotherapy in Metro Atlanta, working with individuals and couples on issues related to depression and anxiety, relationships, sexual identity, life transitions, and personal growth and development. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you, and I invite you to visit my web site to learn more about me and my practice: www.PsychotherapyInAtlanta.com.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience in the practice of psychotherapy with individuals, couples, and groups in the Decatur/Emory area. As a psychotherapist, I have training and experience in using a broad range of treatment approaches. My focus will be on you and your needs, on building a relationship that fits you, and on working with you to find the specific interventions and life skills that can work for you.

While I greatly enjoy working with all adults around a multitude of life challenges, I have particular passion for working with elders and their families, as well as those affected by chronic and terminal illness (based on work and personal experience). I also particularly enjoy helping people find and express their authentic voices.

Sometimes, we can get messages that we can't change ourselves or our lives, that we aren't worthy of healing, that we should not hold on to hope. I believe that during those times, it is so important to seek support. In therapy, you can find a place to explore the challenges you are facing and can receive support as we work together to come up with new strategies. I enjoy helping clients find healing, hope, and wholeness in the face of difficult experiences, particularly those related to race and culture, identity, family problems, self-esteem, and spirituality.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, I specialize in working with couples and men's issues. Couples often face a range of challenges that can strain their relationship, including communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, intimacy issues, and differing expectations. These difficulties can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, and a sense of drifting apart. I help couples navigate these obstacles, fostering understanding, improving communication, and rebuilding trust to create a healthier and more fulfilling partnership. In addition to couples, I also work with men, addressing the specific issues they may encounter.

Life transitions are challenging whether it is navigating high school, adjusting to a child growing up, or realizing you are not where you expected at this point in life. My experience has been with people who have turned to alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or self-injury to cope with various life events. Others have shut down in the form of depression or paralyzing anxiety. Essentially the ways of handling life’s stressors are no longer effective, and in these moments we need help. I enjoy working with people who have a desire to learn how to better navigate their transition.

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

I like to provide my clients a safe and private therapeutic space, where they can process their feelings, beliefs, struggles, emotional or behavioral concerns. Every human being has stages in their life, when you feel lost, depressive, grieving, anxious or when you experience abuse, trauma, substance or behavioral dependence or other struggles. A Counselor with professional preparation and skills can help you without a judgmental attitude. I like to focus on the people's strengths and resources opening the path of healing. My background and experience helps me to consider your social context, beliefs and culture.

Stuck in anxiety, panic, traumatic memories or troubling relationships with people, places, things or substances? I can help reduce or eliminate your emotional pain through experiences in therapy rather than talk alone.

I offer a variety of traditional, creative, mind-body and Integrative approaches to healing. My mental health practices are rooted in attachment theory, supported by neuroscience research, with a trauma informed focus and a strong belief in the power of relationships. I also offer Integrative approaches to wellness. Utilizing herbal support in addition to a full treatment plan of wholistic options uniquely crafted for each client.

I am a highly experienced and versatile psychologist. I specialize in helping men deal with both typical and atypical issues, concerns and life problems. Men encounter a wide-range of issues such as: career dissatisfaction, anger management, relationship concerns, various addictions, anxiety, depression, sexual and career performance issues, estrangement, and impulse control. I like to work with couples and families as well. When men need help, there is a small window of opportunity and time is of the essence. The Atlanta Psychotherapy Center for Men can help.

You are struggling to feel connected to yourself and your loved ones, have difficulty managing the different aspects of your life or are experiencing a hard time coping with past events. You seem to have trouble recognizing who you are today, feel like your emotions are overwhelming and are missing a sense of peace. One thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to find the clarity and confidence in your decision making and move through life with more ease and comfort. Most of all, you’re ready to find joy and acceptance in the day-to-day again. You’re ready for a new “normal”, and I can help you get there.

I am committed to helping individuals, couples and families reach their fullest potential by equipping them with the tools/skills to thrive and live their best life. My goal is to assist my clients to be able to overcome past traumas, insecurities, negative relationship habits and other negative patterns that hinder their ability to create and maintain healthy relationships. I also enjoy helping couples prepare for marriage or work through marital issues that all couples experience at some point and time in their marriage such as communication issues, conflict resolution, sexual issues, betrayal, infidelity, and incompatibility.

Managing stress and anxiety, adjusting to change, trying to find balance, and dealing with life's everyday challenges can be overwhelming, but together we can work towards managing these issues in a healthier way. My vision is to let people know there is a place where they can be heard, while being empowered and uplifted. My work focuses on helping individuals identify their strengths and teaching them tools to help not only cope, but also heal. I use a therapeutic process that focuses on my clients' needs and goals; along with evidence-based practices to help my clients resolve issues and renew their lives.
