Therapists in Decatur, GA
I work collaboratively with people who struggle to manage depressive thoughts or are caught in a cycle of anxiety and avoidance. There are no magic cures but I believe developing self-awareness about what drives your behavior and challenging automatic thoughts are important components of therapy. I have experience in working with people from diverse backgrounds and dealing with cultural and identity issues. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to optimize functioning and enhance well being.

To all the perfectionists & people pleasers out there: No, life does not have to be this hard. Let me paint you a picture: You are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, but you do everything you can to appear perfectly fine in front of other people. You feel really alone, but you’re afraid to burden others with your pain. You feel like you’re constantly running on empty, but you don’t know how to get back to feeling like yourself again. To make matters worse, that voice in your head won’t shut up about how you can't trust yourself and there must be something wrong with you. Does this sound like you?

Using a holistic and somatic Attachment-based approach, I help people who are feeling anxious and overwhelmed experience relief. Are you so worried about how you’re living your life that you’re not living it? Motivated to be your true self, but are not sure who that is or how to get there? I work with sensitive systems that are seeking balance, relational healing, and a sense of identity. Together, we can slow down to begin moving through the anxiety and start placing yourself within your own story. Therapy with me is a gentle and collaborative process that nurtures unseen parts in order to release your creative energy.

You’re running on empty, stretched too thin working nonstop to fit everyone else’s expectations of you. What if there was a way to soften your inner critic, to prioritize your own needs without apology, and to let go of the self-doubt, guilt, and shame that is holding you back?

Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseling. Counseling helps us better understand our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to reconsider our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more mutually gratifying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process or work through traumatic or hurtful experiences and gain insight into unhealthy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships.

I became a therapist because I believe everyone is struggling with something, and no one deserves to struggle alone. I provide skills-based therapy to give adults and adolescents tools you can use to create a life more aligned with how you wish to live. If you feel like you wear your emotions on your sleeve, have been told you are impulsive, or struggle to keep relationships, the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) I offer may be helpful for you. If you feel you have to hide your emotions, struggle with perfectionism and loneliness, or often feel like you are wearing a mask, then you may find Radically Open DBT to be helpful.

With over 15 years of experience as a practicing therapist, I understand that therapy is not the easiest journey to take when you have to address challenging life circumstances. The easier path to take is to do nothing and remain unhappy and dissatisfied. Meaningful change in life will not happen unless you make the commitment to change. I provide a safe, comfortable, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to do the work you need to do so you are better able to fulfill your dreams. You only have to be willing to make a difference in your life.

Because children do not come with a handbook, parents are often wondering if they are parenting correctly. Sometimes your house and your relationships can feel strained due to the challenges of parenting. Parents can feel as if the child is in charge of the emotional barometer of the house. Most parents at some point experience feelings of being overwhelmed and not knowing how to be effective and supportive at the same time. Therapy is a way of taking those first steps toward making positive changes for yourself and your family. By making small changes, you will be able to enjoy a more fulfilling parenting experience.
