Seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and choosing the right therapist is an important step. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported — without judgment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My experience in private practice and community mental health has allowed me to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to identity and self-worth.
My therapeutic style is empowering, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor treatment to each person because no two stories are the same. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and deepen self-awareness, while also exploring underlying emotions and past experiences that shape your present challenges.
I work with adults, couples, and families. My areas of focus include anxiety and chronic stress, depression and mood concerns, trauma and PTSD, relationship and attachment issues, life transitions, self-esteem, identity development, burnout, and compassion fatigue. I strive to provide an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and lived experiences.
Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and grounded.
Outside of work, I value time with family, traveling, fitness, creativity, and continued personal growth. I believe in practicing the same self-awareness and balance that I encourage in my clients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Atlanta
Finding family therapists in Atlanta starts with understanding what your family wants help navigating. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, parent-child relationships, or family counseling, and read each bio for details about their approach.
Atlanta has many therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and East Atlanta, so a clear set of priorities can make the search easier. Consider whether an in-person office works with your commute, school schedules, or MARTA access, or whether virtual sessions fit better for multiple family members joining from different places. Session attendance may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members. Ask about structure upfront, and use therapist profiles to review availability, consultation options, and how each therapist describes their communication style.
Family counseling in Atlanta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you search for therapists in Atlanta on Headway, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can compare therapists who match your family’s needs, accept your plan, and offer appointment times that work for you.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
