I offer a collaborative and holistic approach to adult counseling and psychotherapy services in the metropolitan Atlanta-Marietta area. I am honored to partner with my clients on their journeys of hope and resourcefulness. Perhaps you, like many others who seek counseling, have difficulty at times achieving what you want out of life. When we cannot reach our goals by ourselves, counseling can help.
My clients tell me that through the unbiased support of our counseling relationship and the respectful, caring environment I provide, they feel accepted and understood. They further share that these experiences inspire their process toward positive change. In addition to providing a welcoming environment, I help my clients move forward by encouraging mastery over their circumstances.
We work together as a team to discover and change old patterns and beliefs that stand in the way of personal goals. When individuals recognize that they are not alone in solving their concerns, they find the willingness to challenge themselves in new ways-opening the door for success and increased confidence.

Services
Each individual moves toward his or her goal with a different pace and a different style of movement.
Each of us has had experiences that hold individualized meaning.
I appreciate this uniqueness among people and therefore encourage clients to teach me about their specific needs, beliefs, and circumstances.
As I gain a more complete understanding, I tailor treatment to reflect personal preferences for learning and implementing new skills.
Throughout our counseling relationship, I invite my clients to share their experience of the process so that we can identify what works best for them as they move forward.

Over the last six years, I have provided counseling to individuals and groups in various settings, including a residential/outpatient treatment center, a mental health clinic and private practice.
To individualize treatment, I integrate different therapeutic approaches into my practice including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic theory and attachment theory.
Related skills I use are stress reduction skills, testing beliefs, exposure response prevention (ERP), mindfulness, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), distress tolerance skills and emotion regulation skills.
In addition, I practice hypnotherapy to better assist those who desire pain relief, a deeper understanding of personal conflict or behavioral change.

The counseling process can be a springboard to creating the life you want.
Through this process, you will gain various skills that support your efforts toward positive change.
When clients want better relationships at work or in their personal lives, for example, we address how to improve communication and explore relationship dynamics.
Our counseling relationship also enhances individual self-awareness, paving the way to fulfilling experiences with others.
If you feel stuck and have difficulty seeing options, we will work together toward self-discovery and flexible thinking.

We all have an innate ability to feel good about ourselves and understand what is best for our well-being.
In the face of life's challenges, however, we can sometimes begin to doubt our resilience and capabilities.
We might also start to feel dissatisfied with different aspects of our lives including relationships, pleasurable activities and careers.
When stressful experiences occur, people often tell me that they have lost their way, can no longer see options and feel stuck.
Others I work with are burdened by worries and miss a sense of ease in their daily living.
