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.
Now that you know how intimately I get your struggles , let's work together to move you from shame to regaining yourself and your life. Maybe you are the spouse or family member of someone who struggles with mental and emotional wellness. And at this point, you're ready for solutions, ready for support and ready for a different path forward.
They always say time changes things. But you actually have to change them yourself.
-Andy Warhol
About Me
It may be important to you to know more about my qualifications, which includes a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy specializing 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.
​
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.
Treatments I offer are rooted in evidence based approaches, Simply, they are based on what science says works best for your symptoms or concerns. Which 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.

Therapeutic modalities I offer include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Meditation and Mindfulness practices.
