I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all sexual orientations.
Are you troubled by self doubt, questioning your or your partner's level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship? Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying sex life. Is the conflict in your family extreme? Are you struggling to coparent effectively? You may be single and exasperated by the drama that sometimes comes along with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child or adolescent struggle educationally or in social relationships. If any of these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate your journey to contentment, confidence, and bliss.

Parenting a child struggling with emotional or behavioral difficulties, ADHD, or the social interaction & communication difficulties of autism spectrum disorder can pose huge challenges for children & families. Without specialized support, families may struggle to manage behavioral issues effectively, leading to increased stress and potential setbacks in the child's development. By investing in mental health services that provide tailored support, parents/guardians can work to foster better outcomes and improve the quality of life for their child and their family. A crucial part of treatment entails viewing the family as a system.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Oglethorpe County provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Oglethorpe County build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
