Therapists in Poncey-Highland, Atlanta, GA

My job is about hope. Many of my former clients tell me that they were surprised and relieved to feel so much better after therapy. They were unsure if they would ever find relief from the challenges they had. That is why I do what I do. It is a joy to share in that journey of healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my clients process and move forward from their traumatic experiences. I love using play and expressive arts to engage children and adolescents. I also have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with eating disorders and self harm.

I believe authenticity is at the root of living whole and living well. Utilizing my background in social work and years of experience in various practice settings, I employ an integrative approach to meeting the therapeutic needs of clients. My practice focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of a range of mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and helping adults navigate life stressors. It would be an honor to collaborate with you on your unique journey of growth, healing, and authentic living.

If you are a client seeking therapy for anxiety, or because of post-traumatic or dissociative symptoms, then I would be a good fit for you. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to determine what you need. I used both cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches in therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses changing thoughts and behaviors that could be contributing to symptoms. Psychodynamic therapy explores the origin of symptoms.

Have others shared you're too sensitive or maybe you’ve found lights, textures, smells, or sounds can impact your mood?

I’ll join you where you are and together we will explore awareness of your thoughts, emotions, body, and reactions. It does not always have the be the way it feels now.
