Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Marietta, GA

Growing up in Ghana, there was no such thing as talk therapy. Mental health was not a topic of discussion in my culture. I became fascinated with talk therapy during my college years here in America. Over the years, I have felt the need to bring talk therapy to the fore front of my community and all. My exprience has been working with adults with serious mental illnesses, children with family trauma and abandonments, individuals and families. I specialize in couples and groups as well. My approach is creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable and sincere in your disclosure of deep and personal thoughts. I am an LGBTQ ally.

On the outside, you're holding it all together, managing every detail with precision. But in quiet moments, it feels like things are falling apart at the edges, right? You can't sleep. Can't motivate. Eating may be forgotten more often than not. You're foggy-headed, and you snap at people you care about. You don't know what self-care looks like, let alone how to include it. You've tried everything, but nothing has worked. Don't worry; I understand that's not an excuse but a manifestation of how anxiety, trauma, and grief affect every part of you: health, sleep, appetite, and, in turn, your well-being.

Are you tired of being the “strong friend”? The one that everyone knows they can depend on, and so rarely experiencing this in return.

Do you feel that there may be a past trauma that is preventing you from your own healing? Are you navigating new life transitions? Are you ready to talk with someone about your depression or anxiety?

Ready for a change? Navigating a difficult situation? Reaching out for help can be both scary and life-changing. I am here to assist people in healing what is holding them back.
