Courage is the Power to Let Go of the Familiar.
If you find yourself here, I understand it's because you realize that what you have been trying simply isn't working for you. You feel alone, misunderstood, and confused about a path forward. I get that reaching out takes courage—the courage to be vulnerable, the courage to be open to change. After all, what you know feels comfortable. It feels safe.
Stepping outside of comfort isn't easy.
Perhaps you have tried a medication or two, or even ten, while sometimes doctors, therapists, and family may seem helpful, you mostly feel judged and misunderstood. Your thoughts feel strange and mistrusting of others. Most of all, these experiences destroy relationships, friendships, family ties, and even your self-esteem.
About Me
It may be important to you to know more about my qualifications, which include a degree and licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a specialization in medical family therapy. We could also discuss the time I spent at Emory, where I trained physicians on mental health and skills to use with their own patients.
Compassion and Effectiveness
Though I think what you really want to know is whether our work together will be helpful. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family, my style is based on two key ingredients: compassion and effectiveness.
I offer treatments rooted in evidence-based approaches. In simpler terms, they are based on what science says works best for your symptoms or concerns. This is where compassion takes center stage. Research shows us that a compassionate connection with a therapist is one of the best predictors of progress in therapy.
I have in-depth experience in intensive mood and emotion regulation needs. And working with those having unusual thoughts or experiences is both a passion and a specialization of mine. Therapeutic modalities I offer include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness practices.
Therapy for Adults, Youth & Families
I work with individuals age 12 and older, as well as families, who are struggling with their mental and emotional wellness.
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, mood changes, unusual thoughts or experiences, relationship conflict, or simply feeling like you're no longer yourself, therapy can provide a place to understand what's happening and find a path forward.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, tailoring treatment to your needs and where you are right now.
Virtual & In-Person Therapy
I offer both virtual and in-person therapy, so you can choose the setting that feels right for you.
Virtual sessions allow you to receive support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. For those who prefer meeting face-to-face, I also offer in-person therapy at my office in Cumming, Georgia.
