LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Alpharetta, GA
Deciding to come to counseling is a difficult one. My passion is to “walk along side” the person who ready to be challenged and work through being "stuck" from distressing experiences. My specialty is working with people who have traumatic pasts causing intrusive thinking/rumination; nightmares and flashbacks; and avoidance from others and situations. I am passionate about working with individuals and families to overcome underlying relational problems and to feel safe expressing their wishes and desires. I counsel with people who are dependent on drugs and alcohol working through what he or she is escaping from.

We all want to feel empowered to deal with the problems life naturally throws at us. We feel empowered when we are in control and manage our lives in the way we want. In order to take control of our lives, we need to have a greater awareness of how our personal attributes and experiences influence the way we respond to what happens in our lives; our strengths, weaknesses, and our underlying motivations and barriers to how we solve life problems. Because we are complex and unique, we need to find our own unique path to building an empowered life.

Often I work with teens, college students or adults who are experiencing depression, social anxiety, transition, or grief. My clients are often isolated and lacking strong social connections, either by choice or because they feel rejected. For my clients, I try to center my work around logic, common sense and a supportive, trusting relationship. Many people find relief in just being able to tell someone what they're thinking without judgement.

Because it can be difficult to know when to reach out to a therapist, especially when seeking help is discouraged, many of us struggle for a long time on our own. Our painful emotions restrict us, stealing our enjoyment of life, interfering with our work, and disrupting our ability to have genuine, satisfying relationships. Reaching out is a sign of your strength and a demonstration of your hope that, with some help, change is possible. Over the years, I've helped individuals from many backgrounds with challenges such as depression, anxiety, work and relationship problems, grief and loss, immigration, and life transitions.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a dark place where we feel alone, helpless, and hopeless about ourselves and our future. In times like these it is easy to think that you are worthless and no one can understand what you are going through or fathom the heaviness inside of you. As a counselor, I take great pride in being able to sit down in your hole with you and slowly work our way back out together. I know that seeking help when we feel so vulnerable and hurt is not easy, sometimes you may even think that no one really cares so why bother reaching out anyway. I want you to know that you are not alone and I assure you I care about you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions – or perhaps not feeling anything at all? Are you consumed with self-defeating thoughts? Are your coping skills causing more problems than helping? Are your relationships suffering? I believe that the person we were intended to be can become buried under life circumstances (both past and present), trauma, mental health challenges and substance abuse. Gaining insight to problematic thoughts and behaviors, learning healthy coping skills, and processing overwhelming feelings are just some of the ways therapy can help.

Is it getting harder and harder to keep up with your everyday responsibilities? These days, it might be difficult to muster the motivation to do anything but the bare minimum. It feels impossible to slow down the racing thoughts and the constant waiting for the other shoe to drop…let alone get a good night’s sleep. Something may have happened recently that’s pushed you over the edge. It could’ve brought up emotions from your past, and though you want to move on, you’re not sure how. You’ve started to notice these problems affecting both your personal and professional life, and it feels like things might completely fall apart.
