Anxiety Therapists in Atlanta, GA

A compassionate and experienced therapist who believes in the transformative power of creativity. With a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Truett McConnell University and multiple years of experience in residential and outpatient settings, I have a proven ability to help individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including trauma, attachment, anxiety, ADHD, relational concerns, identity, and life transitions.

Feeling stuck or fed up with your current therapist? Let's get real – life can be tough. It’s especially hard on ambitious people, parents & perfectionists who are expected to have it all together. The more successful you are (or are expected to be), the more difficult it is to keep it all together. Add anxiety, depression, & relationship issues – forget it. And the more that you achieve, the harder it becomes to find a therapist of your caliber or solutions that work for your complex issues. But I'm not here to hand out generic advice or quick fixes. I'm here to help you uncover the root of your challenges & build lasting changes.

Are you down bad crying at the gym? Are you tired of having to do it with a broken heart? Are you so depressed you act like it’s your birthday everyday? Are you breaking down, hitting the floor? Are you grinning like you’re winning, hitting your marks, holding your breath, trying to pass the next test? Are you exhausted having to be a really tough kid who can handle their (stuff)? Does it feel like you’re faking it ’til you make it? Does it feel like pieces of you are shattering as life keeps screaming, “More!”? Do Taylor Swift lyrics hit a little too close to home?

Working with a psychologist should be a positive and beneficial experience. Not only do I believe in supporting my clients through successes and challenges, I love my work and am very dedicated to those I work with.

Currently, I have a private practice in Atlanta; I am an attending psychologist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta; and I perform neuropsychological/ psychoeducational evaluations at Georgia State University.

Personal beliefs and thoughts have power over our emotions and behavior. Sometimes we just aren't aware of our underlying beliefs influencing our mood. Awareness allows us to manage our emotional world from a better place. I will help you become aware of your beliefs, how they are affecting you, and help you realize that you have what it takes to make positive changes in your life. I know it can be difficult to talk about your feelings. So I start by providing a safe space for you. Together, we will work collaboratively toward your personal goals, leading to a happier, more productive life.

It is human to get lost and feel isolated at times, but from an evolutionary perspective, humans weren't built to heal in isolation. Stress, grief, and life transitions are all normal, but how we navigate them can determine whether anxiety, depression, or isolation follow. My nonjudgmental, research-informed approach supports clients in healing through diligent practice, secure connection, mutual respect, and clear-eyed self-reflection. Clients are safe to explore their full selfhood, to view challenge as a normal part of growth, to learn concrete tools for comfort and safety, and to grow secure and joyous in their authentic selves.

I help individuals with relational-based trauma, issues surrounding perfectionism, self-acceptance, and challenges pertaining to life transitions (divorce/separation, moving, job changes, etc.) work through mental and emotional barriers to heal, and be at peace with themselves. My clients are often high-achieving or ambitious, but have a hard time celebrating or accepting themselves. They are often leaders or pillars in various spheres, but wrestle with self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. They may also experience anxiety and a sense of hopelessness surrounding their triggers, but ready to do the work to move towards wholeness.

I believe in establishing a collaborative approach with my clients to help support the therapeutic process.

Utilizing a direct, interactive approach, with a touch of humor, I teach my clients coping skills so they can pull from their "toolbox" of skills in between sessions and eventually throughout their lives.
