There are many therapists in Atlanta with outstanding credentials and many years of experience. This is important. However, it is not the only consideration. Take the time to schedule a meeting with a prospective therapist to determine if this therapist's approach feels right to you in helping you with your needs.
I am more than happy to meet with you to determine if we are a good fit for working together. Typically, I reserve the first three sessions for us to discuss your concerns. During these sessions, we are both assessing whether we feel comfortable working together and whether my style of working with clients works for you. The choice to begin therapy will be agreed upon together. If for any reason, we decide the relationship is not a good fit, I will provide you with the names of other therapists whom might be able to help you.
We all experience change throughout our life. Change is a natural ongoing process. Some changes feel comfortable and occur rather effortlessly; others are challenging and make us feel anxious, sad, out of control and even pained. During these difficult times, it’s helpful to have a therapist join with us on our journey for a more balanced and peaceful life.
Many people find the idea of therapy scary. It doesn't have to be. Therapy can be helpful to most people – not just people with serious emotional problems. Interestingly enough, the most common reason people seek therapy is to get more out of life, whether that is feeling more connected in relationships, feeling more connected to themselves, feeling more confident, having a better sense of well-being, or generally just feeling less stressed and out of control.
When deciding to go to therapy, it is important to find a therapist that is right for you. This may take time, but stick with it. This is your life and your journey – you should be with a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable.

I have a general private practice seeing adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapies. Among my areas of work are: couples transitioning to parenthood, working with women who are experiencing prenatal and postpartum issues, families having young children with disabilities, parenting difficulties, relationship problems, adolescents and young adults struggling with life transitions, and general stress, anxiety and depression.
My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, drawing from many sources particularly psychodynamic and relational principles. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to be present with my clients, providing a safe space to explore what emerges during the therapy sessions.
