Lesbian Therapists in Sandy Springs, GA

My goal to to assist people in finding a way forward from their distress and pain. Stressful and/or traumatic events can result in extreme anxiety that leads to isolation from your family and friends and withdrawal from what you used to enjoy. I would like to work with you to decrease that anxiety, increase your engagement with the world and nurture your relationships with others. This is done by teaching you new habits, experiences counter to stressful/trauma ones, and examining how you think about your life.

Utilizing a person centered approach for navigating your life makes the most sense to me! I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, and I am passionate about helping people navigate traumas, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, health challenges, self-esteem, and self-exploration related to sexual orientations and gender identities. I truly enjoy empowering each client in their exploration of finding peace and acceptance.

I value honest and thoughtful communication, which means I communicate in an attentive, supportive, compassionate, empowering, and non-judgmental manner while being authentic, direct, and transparent. I utilize validation and humor in therapy to foster connection and to create space for healthy, long-lasting change. I seek to help my clients deeply accept and understand their own thoughts, emotions, actions, and experiences so they can more effectively navigate their relationships with self and the world.

I work with adults facing issues related to life transitions (college, career, immigration, parenthood), relationship challenges, and issues linked to depression, anxiety and emotional disregulation. My clients are typically satisfied with many areas of their lives, but they've acknowledged certain areas of stagnation or find themselves in need of support to move closer to the fulfilling life they desire.

My prior career in business and technology enables me to understand the unique demands of corporate professionals.

I help troubled couples get their relationship back on track using proven tools and science-backed methods.

I have tried several others through the years and he is by far the best. I have come to understand myself in so many ways. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of answers."

I help clients with a variety of issues, specializing in relationship problems; individual concerns of stress, depression, and career; and adolescent issues.

Hi there! I understand the experiences you’ve had leading up to this decision may have been difficult, and you were able to navigate them the best way possible so far. Reaching out for the help you deserve speaks to your determination to be on a better path! I would be happy to join your support system and be there with you through whatever barriers you may encounter on this journey. These barriers might surface in many different ways: anxiety, depression, struggles with eating, identity crises, social conflicts, trouble focusing, low self-esteem, trauma and/or everyday problems that just don’t seem to let up.

Connection & Sense of Belonging: We all want to be accepted and know we matter. Challenging life experiences disrupt these connections and leave you feeling isolated and alone. My first priority is creating a meaningful relationship through respect and non-judgement by listen to your story and what brings you to seek support and guidance. People I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, and often have negative core beliefs from past experiences that inform present decisions and actions. I help people find relief and re-define beliefs in a more positive direction.

I work with women trying to become pregnant who are dealing with stress or infertility issues. I work moms who are struggling with mom life. If we are honest with ourselves we see that it is hard being a mom but I am here to help. If you are tired of being tired and ready for a change then call me!

The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and those we love is to heal our wounds. Through healing, we can begin to hear what others are truly saying without the filter of our wounds. We can connect deeper with ourselves and others. We begin to feel a sense of ease and clarity in the present without constantly feeling plagued by our past.
