Waitlist for new clients
I am licensed in Georgia & Utah and have over ten years of experience working with children, adults, and families. My primary focuses include grief and loss, life stage changes, depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma & abuse. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and have experience with diversity in regards to gender, race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. I find that people who feel that I am a good match for them have a desire to begin to strengthen their internal sense of self and strength and are eager to begin their journey to a higher level of self-actualization.

Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's anxiety, anger management, codependence, impulsivity, isolation, self-esteem or something else - you and I can tackle them together. The therapeutic alliance is a non-judgmental partnership intended to facilitate your personal growth and self understanding, and it is not always an easy journey. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.

Life is all about relationships. Relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. While relationships can often bring us great joy, they can also generate feelings of anxiety, depression, and uncertainty. Through our therapeutic partnership, I will help you build the skills to better manage these disruptive feelings and gain insight into your behaviors, ultimately allowing you to find balance and fulfillment.

You are not what happens to you. Crisis, transition, and past suffering can be overwhelming, and are even more so when you try to navigate them alone. You may find that now you are dealing with chronic fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, and more. Therapy is an invitation to step into a safe and nurturing environment to explore and resolve difficult challenges in your life. With safety and presence, tending to and healing past wounds is possible. The things that have happened to you can become one part of your legacy, not the biggest part. You are not your suffering, you are so much more than that.

You've been feeling like you just aren't as happy as you could be. It's hard to stop your mind from overthinking and worrying about everything, sometimes even getting to the point of feeling panicky. Or maybe you just feel stuck and like you aren't satisfied with life even though you "should be." Maybe you've had a little bit of therapy before, but it feels like just talking about your problems isn't enough. You're looking for real life skills you can use to help yourself think, feel and live better.

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.

Do you struggle with feeling anxious and overwhelmed more often than you’d like? Is it affecting your ability to connect in relationships and work effectively? Maybe you feel frazzled and out-of-control, have experienced a significant loss or entered into a life change that feels challenging. Managing relationships, work, and life transitions (including adjustment to college, parenthood, menopause, divorce, etc), particularly in an ever-changing, often overstimulating world, might feel impossible but there are ways to work through these experiences and even use them to your advantage!

As a therapist, I specialize in helping people navigate challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, and healing from attachment trauma. I especially love working with those who feel disconnected from their current lives and are exploring their identity and purpose. Many of my clients realize they need change but don't know where to start. They often have struggled with anxiety, burnout, and relational trauma, leading to repetitive painful patterns and isolation. These patterns, once protective, now cause pain and suffering. I have an affinity for working with LGBTQ+ folks and those living nontraditional paths.

I am a licensed psychologist with 20+ yrs of experience. My practice focuses on working with women at major transition points in their lives. I believe we come into this world with unique gifts that provide a framework for who we are. That framework is further shaped - in both healthy & painful ways - by life experiences with family, peers, loved ones, work, identity, & society. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to understand how we've come to be the person we are today, make peace with the past, recognize our unique gifts, and move into the future with a clearer vision of the life we want to create and how to get there.
