Therapists in Candler Park, Atlanta, GA

I am a coach and licensed psychotherapist committed to helping you identify your strengths and reach your goals. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief & loss, life transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, poor self- esteem, and relationship problems. To adapt to the needs of each unique client, I utilize an eclectic approach to evidence-based treatment.

Unfortunately, we don't always stop feeling like "the weird kid" after we leave high school. Simply trying to change our way of thinking and doing doesn't always beat that nagging feeling of "not-enoughness". Whether that’s a phrase you’ve been told by parents, teachers, bosses, or yourself, it’s almost impossible to grow when you weren’t led to believe in yourself. White-knuckling through everything - jobs, relationships, social situations - it feels like you’re always working the hardest and never getting far enough. Mix in neurodivergence, grief, and only-childness - our anxiety around "being different" is off the charts.

I provide psychotherapy and psychological and cognitive assessment. As a psychologist, I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit your needs. I value collaboration in our work together, and I strive to establish a framework of compassion and understanding. In therapy, we will work together to focus on the concerns that matter most.

I work with people who are looking to understand what they’re struggling with so that they can live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Together we’ll try to understand the issue that brought you to therapy, and other issues that may come to the surface along the way. With insight often comes the knowledge of what you would like to be different, or how to best manage the circumstances you’re facing.

At The Zen Den Counseling and Wellness, we are skilled in helping children, teens, adults, and families thrive and achieve inner and outer peace. In today’s complex world, many individuals struggle with crippling mood and anxiety disorders, while families struggle with communication difficulties. We have seen first-hand how incorporating therapy and wellness practices aimed at quieting the inner and outer noise in the world has transformed individuals and families, fostering their personal and relational growth. We have worked diligently to create a safe and inviting haven for peace, healing, and self-discovery.

While the journey to self-discovery may be a life long process, we can utilize the power that comes from knowledge of self, our relationships, and experiences, to make the best choices for our authentic selves. This can also bring awareness to what parts of ourselves need nurturance, acceptance, and healing. My goal in counseling is to create a safe space where clients can explore themselves with curiosity and support. I have a passion for providing affirming counseling for BIPOC, Neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I work with teens, adults, relationships, sex therapy, and the complexities of the human experience.

Have you been feeling anxious, detached, lonely or sad? Have you been dealing with emotional pain, finding it difficult to let go and lead a life of fulfillment? Or perhaps you’re feeling trapped or stuck, struggling to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong. Whatever is bringing you to therapy now, you are not alone. You will find me to be a warm, empathic, and authentic guide in your journey towards self-discovery, healing, and growth.

Whether you are pregnant, new to Motherhood, a seasoned parent, or struggling with body image - you may be experiencing feelings of loneliness, anxiety, fear, identity crisis, or trauma. You may feel as though you’ve lost control, as both your body and seemingly your whole life have changed. Are you told to “enjoy every minute” or “bounce back after birth”? These unwelcomed pressures can also add to our feelings of guilt and shame. I am here to support you. Know you are not alone. Together, we will use mindfulness practices, imagery, and therapeutic strategies to help you be present, release self-doubt, and cultivate confidence.

I truly believe it is never too late to learn about yourself and take steps toward a full, meaningful life. We may be a good match if you are experiencing anxiety, life transitions, grief or loss, or if you want to increase kindness, compassion, and care toward yourself (yes, yourself!) and others. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which integrates mindfulness, personal values, and taking active steps to get unstuck. My clients find that it is very possible to learn skills to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and change unhelpful life patterns.

Are you feeling stressed, uncertain, anxious, and overwhelmed by daily stressors or life transitions? Maybe you are experiencing emotional stressors, social deficits, or connection/relationship difficulties? My goal as a therapist is to help you develop a creative plan to learn and implement coping skills to overcome these struggles. I treat clients from all walks of life and of all ages. I treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, work or school issues, relationship issues, trauma, parenting, behavioral issues, and marital issues including divorce.

Does it feel like life keeps happening to you and you struggle with feeling enough or confident to change things? This often stems from past experiences people left you feeling unloved, insignificant or inadequate. You have based your life on other's views & actions, but it's time you live for you. I help you transform into the version of you who is confident in all environments and situations. This lays the foundation for building authentic & healthy relationships with others, especially your parents. I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, & poor family relationships so I know it can feel defeating, but it’s possible to overcome.

As a client-centered therapist, I believe in the human capacity to "self-actualize." In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when you're able to reach your full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this work. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I am in the empathy business. I use connection and evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients clarify their "why" and navigate a path to deeper fulfillment—professionally and personally.

Motherhood is harder than you thought it would be. You wanted this, so you should feel joy, right? And you shouldn't feel sad or angry, but you do. That other mom told you they instantly fell in love when they held their baby, but you're worried you didn't feel that. You do self-care when you can and even tried meditation to feel calmer, but it doesn't work. You're overwhelmed. You miss how easy things used to feel. Maybe you feel that being a mom isn't what you thought it was or maybe it isn't for you - yet you're here. It’s confusing. You wonder if it gets easier. You deserve relief. You're not alone. It gets better.

As a therapist specializing in caregiving, my passion lies in helping individuals who selflessly devote themselves to the care and well-being of their loved ones. Caregivers are the unsung heroes of our society, and my mission is to provide you with the support, guidance, and understanding you deserve. My journey into the work of caregiving began with a profound realization of the challenges caregivers faced within my own family. I witnessed firsthand the physical, emotional, and psychological toll caregiving can take on individuals and families.

Do you desire a better life not controlled by negative feelings, conflicting thoughts, and behaviors that puzzle you? If changing life patterns is not working on your own, we can work together to find therapeutic techniques that are best suited for your personal challenges. Creating a strong and effective working relationship is a priority in my practice.

There’s more to life than just working and caring for others. You struggled to build this life for yourself, but now there’s little joy in it. You feel disconnected, alone. You yearn to do more than just survive. You want to explore new parts of yourself, deepen your relationships, and find new energy for life. How can you get there when right now your plate is so full you’re barely making it through the day? Things can get better. I will walk with you through this time of awakening and help you refocus on your own needs as you journey toward the life you want. A life full of authenticity and connection.

Are you seeking inner peace? Interested in a more present-focused and relaxed quality of life? Through mindfulness practice and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques, I can assist you with obtaining the life you want and the health your body needs. Emotional distress takes a toll on your mind, body and spirit and can appear to control your life. As a trained DBT and trauma-informed therapist, I will equip you with tools to regain control and improve your emotional and interpersonal effectiveness. Through both acceptance and change, you can reach your full potential!

Are you a college student or recent college graduate struggling to find your footing in this new stage of life? Have you recently moved to Atlanta and are feeling lonely away from your family and close friends? Maybe you (or your child) are finding the social and academic pressures of high school to be a tougher than you imagined. As an adolescent and young adult therapist, I recognize how confusing and isolating these stages of life can be. I offer a calming and grounded environment for you to explore your sense of self and place in the world.
