Therapists in Atlanta, GA

My calling is to serve children and adults who deal with a variety of emotional and behavioral imbalances due to psychological trauma or other stressors. As a trauma and DBT-certified therapist, I work with my clients toward the restoration of their emotional wellness by integrating aspects of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapies (DBT), as well as ART therapy, play therapy, and mind-body practices. I also provide court-ordered reunification therapy, group therapy, and clinical diagnostic evaluations and assessments. Currently offering FREE clinical assessment for self-pay therapy clients.

Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Are you plagued by anxiety, self-doubt, and negative thoughts? I would love to journey with you on the path to healing and wholeness. I completed my Ph.D. in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2022. I did my early training at the Amen Clinic in Atlanta and learned how psychiatric illness manifests in the brain. I practice cutting-edge, holistic treatment that focuses on healing the mind-body connection. I provide a safe place for my clients to process their current situations and find some relief.

It can be difficult to open up and talk about your life stressors to someone you don’t know. Sometimes we can feel unheard or alone and just need someone who can be a helping, nonjudgmental, and listening ear. The hardest part can be finding the words to express ourselves and process what can feel like a jumbled mess and you just need someone to help put the scattered puzzle pieces together to create a beautiful picture. Aristotle said it best, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I can help with building coping skills, work on effective communication, self-expression, processing trauma/grief, and mindfulness.

Our physical, mental, relational and spiritual health are affected parts of our whole self. My focus is on supporting clients through life challenges with awareness of the interconnection between mind, body, and spirit. Clients who come to my practice may be facing social stigma, identity, life changes, or health challenges, adjusting to medical treatment that leave them feeling unsupported, anxious, depressed, or spiritually depleted. As a psychotherapist and Art Therapist, I offer evidenced-based approaches, including Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I love words and believe that healing is often found when we have space to tell our stories—to make sense of what we have lived, of who we are, and of where we hope to go.

I work well with clients who have experienced structural violence, including but not limited to sexual violence, relational violence, religious trauma, homophobia, fatphobia, racism, medical trauma, & complex trauma. I also work well with high achievers, college students, artists, writers, performers, thinkers, & creatives.

Barriers to acceptance exist, often buried deep within the layers of experience, trauma, divorce, unmet needs, unhealed hurts, depression, anxiety, less than desired self esteem, family systems, unhealthy relationships, anger, feelings of being misunderstood, symptoms of diagnosis, poor communication skills and the list goes on.
