Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I work exclusively with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy. My primary focus is on relational issues.Over thirty years of practicing psychotherapy have taught me that the cornerstone for happiness and mental health is directly related to a person's capacity to establish and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. The research on this is pretty impressive. People who have healthy relationships and a supportive network of friends and family have fewer mental health problems like depression and anxiety, live longer, have less physical and emotional illness, and if they become ill, they recover more quickly.

We all face challenges, and at times need additional care to grow and thrive. For over 10 years, I have worked with individuals, families, and those in relationships to address conflict, improve communication, and navigate changing behaviors. I have specialty training in trauma-informed care, co-occurring diagnoses, and exploring attachment dynamics & patterns in relationships. I specialize in affirming and caring for the LGBTQIA+ community and transgender / gender expansive youth and adults, and their families. I engage from a strengths-based, feminist, anti-racist, intersectional lens, while empowering folks to make life changes.

I specialized in anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Expressive Therapy. My approach varies based on the client's needs. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy this approach allows the client to identify and challenge negative thinking. During the session, the client works through exercises to explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

I am so glad that you are here and seeking change. Connection is the cornerstone of good therapy, and as a person, I am very compassionate, warm and engaging. I work with high achieving, highly driven, people who would like to deepen their experience of connection in life; both to themselves and others. No matter how our lives appear on the outside, many of us feel emotionally lonely and emotionally unsatisfied. I believe that through understanding and awareness, we can move towards becoming our true selves and experience life more deeply. We can learn to connect more fully with ourselves and others and transform our lives.

Each of us has unique strengths and skills, developed through their personal experiences and stories, but we can underestimate ourselves. When we encounter obstacles or feel overwhelmed, our own abilities can seem out of reach and we begin to practice negative thoughts towards ourselves and others. I am here to help you navigate those stressors and burdens, while supporting you towards gaining a deeper understanding of your own identity. It would be my privilege to provide you with a safe space to explore your narrative and to walk with you on your mental health journey!
