Therapists in Marietta, GA

I aspire to use my skills and knowledge as a mental health therapist to help people overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. I will work with my clients to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where all ideas are valued and respected and where my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions while working to make positive changes and achieve goals. There are many different treatment types available for mental health, and what works best for one person may not work for another. It's important to find a treatment that feels right for you.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who specializes in working with trauma survivors in individual, group, & couples therapy (Gottman Method). I received extensive training in trauma therapy at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). I only use treatments proven to reduce trauma & Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Trauma therapy is not easy, but I will walk alongside you as you build courage and resilience to heal and thrive! You must do the work if you want to get better. It's OK to be hesitant or ambivalent. However, you must be committed to getting better, which requires some significant changes. Are you ready?

At night you lie in bed wondering "Can this marriage really be saved?" You are so tired of feeling lonely, disconnected, and ignored. This is not AT ALL where you thought you'd ever end up. No more interesting conversations, no date nights, no fun, no sex. The thought "I can't wait to get home" turned into "Do I have to go home?" What happened? Will you ever reconnect with your spouse? Will you ever feel cherished and loved again? You've tried to fix it, but it didn't work. You got back defensiveness and criticism instead. You need HELP!. You can't do it alone. Should you stay or should you go?

My goal is to be a collaborative partner with clients seeking to make positive changes in their lives. Specializing in trauma, addictions, depression, and anxiety, I hope to help you successfully navigate life's journeys. Working together through uncertainty, confusion, and feeling "in between" life's roles, we will develop goals and select effective treatments to help you achieve these goals. In addition, I offer couples and family therapy to strengthen my client's relationships. Finally, I provide supervision, training, and therapy for health care providers.

Clients and Colleagues recommend me for my exceptional ability to connect, understand and show compassion, resulting in positive outcomes. For over 20 years, I have promoted mental health, personal growth and wellness in children, adolescents and adults so they can achieve their full potential. I encourage and support my clients while preparing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to be empowered. I assist my clients through their life journey, taking into account each person in his/her full dimensions: mind, body and spirit. I strongly believe in the human capacity to heal, grow and overcome life's challenges.

Does your life feel out of control and you're lacking the energy, motivation or know how to make any changes? Are you looking to live a more peaceful and fulfilling life? I'm a licensed psychologist that enjoys working with clients in helping them to live a life that is more peaceful and aligned with their desires. I engage in enlightening conversations that assist clients in identifying roadblocks and discovering the path to a better life. I have 10 years of experience working with a diverse array of clients of various ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities.

Therapy helps work through your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, interactions and relationships in a safe supportive atmosphere. A good therapist will support and guide you to gain increased perspective and insight while also empowering you to self-assess and identify solutions/needed changes, not impress their beliefs on you. The active change agent in your journey to increased happiness and fulfillment is YOU; a good therapist just guides the way. I am happy to help whether you are adjusting to change and transition, wanting to improve or change relationships, or hoping to learn better ways to manage/cope with stress/emotions.

Hello, have you experienced challenges in life and need someone to talk to?

I believe in meeting people where they are and offering a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. Working together, we can get you on a path to recovery.

Life gets hard. Period. Every person has a unique sort of hard, but it's hard all the same. For some of us, it's a single event that changes the trajectory of our lives. For others of us, it's a series of traumatic experiences, decisions, disappointments, or relationship betrayals that result in emotional distress. A sense that life just isn't what it was (and perhaps never will be again) develops and suddenly, "hard" feels BIGGER. Maybe you're struggling with debilitating anxiety, relationship issues, spirituality concerns, or that thick and lingering cloud of depression. Whatever your hard is, you aren't alone.

I am an ABPP certified psychologist providing evidence-based psychotherapy to people ages 17+. Having practiced in Georgia since 2007 when I completed my postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Psychology at Emory University, I've worked in private practice and hospital settings for 15+ years treating depression, anxiety (including OCD, panic, phobias, and chronic worry/GAD), PTSD and other trauma or grief related issues, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and issues related to meaning/purpose and existential distress. I work with individuals from late adolescence through older adulthood across the continua of gender, ethnicity, and faith.

I partner with clients to address life stressors including, but not limited to, abandonment, depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as couples who may be experiencing a crossroads in their relationship. I also work with clients who are NOT struggling or in crisis , rather, they are looking to improve upon their self-confidence, prepare for a career change or simply grow and thrive in their personal and/or professional lives.
