Therapists in Ansley Park, Atlanta, GA

I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

I believe you are on the journey to become who you already are and who you are is infinitely complex. Often times external influences, circumstances, events, or relationships block you from living in the fullness of your complexity, and this can lead to psychological distress. I work with clients and couples to surface these conscious and unconscious barriers to growth so that you can lead a life responsive to who you are rather than reactive to what is going on around you. My hope is that, together, you discover not just relief from symptoms but optimal psychological functioning and deeply satisfying relationships.

I have enjoyed working with children and adults experiencing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD and substance abuse. My experiences have allowed me to work in many settings including day programs, private practice and intensive outpatient (IOP).

I work with women and couples using a variety of approaches to address relational and personal concerns. My clients often seek couples or marriage counseling at a point where they believe their relationships are beyond repair. Communication has broken down, they lack trust, and intimacy no longer exists. Giving yourselves a chance to address this in therapy increases your chance of resolution. The goal of individual therapy to empower you to be your best self and find passion and joy in life. We’ll address everything you’re feeling, explore new options, and together develop a plan to help you reach your dreams and self-potential.

Being called strong feels more like an insult than a compliment these days. You’re tired of being strong because in reality you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, unseen, and uncared for. Of course, you have friends. People say they love you. Everyone admires how successful you are and praises you for all you’ve accomplished, but you’re always questioning yourself. “Do I have any value outside of my titles,You feel stuck, but you also don’t believe you have a reason to feel bad because God has blessed you with so much. So instead of being “ungrateful,” you suck it up, grin and bear it, keep it moving. Suffering in silence along the way.

Are you struggling with work-life balance, burnout and feeling hopeless? Is your mood or behavior affecting relationships with your family and friends? I strive to foster a sense of hope for those seeking support by creating a safe and empowering space for clients to explore and navigate the challenges they face.

When an individual experiences trauma, they may naturally develop ways of managing challenging emotions and stress. However, over time, coping mechanisms that were once helpful, can become maladaptive and begin negatively impacting one's relationships and other areas of life. Together we'll explore how your defenses are keeping you stuck. We'll challenge negative patterns, build healthier habits, and create a life of purpose and fulfillment.

As a Psychotherapist I understand that human pain, suffering and changes in development can be difficult to navigate alone. Our social system can lack the reinforcement we need to successfully navigate life. It is my belief that therapy can assist with helping to navigate, regroup, and regain our happiness - which is different for each person. I also understand how therapy with the right person can make a major difference in regrouping and regaining happiness. We all deserve happiness and our happiness starts and ends with us. Take the first step toward regaining your happiness - Open Up to the possibilities.

*I OFFER EMDR INTENSIVES + WEEKLY SESSIONS* I wonder if you have sought feelings of fulfillment and security through pursuing external goals. If this hasn’t worked, maybe you strive to stay up and out of your pain with distraction or numbing - feeling unsafe in your body or the present moment. Perhaps you work to stay away from the parts of yourself you have learned are ‘bad’ and avoid feelings and memories that are scary and painful. Maybe you strive to feel ok by doing what you’ve learned you’re supposed to do, but rarely what you truly desire. This is not your failure! You’ve done what you needed to survive.
