Child Therapists in Alpharetta, GA
It's been my honor to help many children, teens, and adults who have struggled in such areas and to help them build the life they would like to live.
Feeling like life has gotten beyond your abilities to handle? Perhaps you're stressed out from work, or the loss of a loved one. Perhaps there are struggles in your marriage, or you're wondering what's going on with your kids. Perhaps you are engaged and simply wanting to set yourself and your partner up for a successful marriage. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with a mental health concern and now you are concerned with how to help them. Or perhaps you or a loved one is struggling with self-harm or thoughts of suicide. Life may be difficult, but it can still be one worth living.

I’ve worked in various settings including a hospital, military base, school, community mental health agency, and a school for children with Autism.

I strive to create a safe space in which you are able to share and explore your thoughts and feelings without any judgment. I believe that the therapeutic rapport between a therapist and client is critical. Therefore, I value the bond and trust we create together in therapy. I hope to help you work through your life’s struggles and dilemmas in a safe and supportive environment.

These are extraordinary times. Regardless of your age and stage of life the existence of the Covid-19 Virus has most likely led to tremendous worry and anxiety. The ramifications of what this means in terms of health, finances, family and social isolation must feel overwhelming. With telehealth {SKYPE} as an accepted treatment modality many insurance company's will authorize payment. I would like to help and will be extremely flexible in terms of payment and scheduling.
