Many high-performing adults are used to being the one others depend on. From the outside, life may look successful and put together, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or constantly questioning yourself despite your accomplishments.
I specialize in working with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, parenting, and personal expectations while struggling with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or stress that never fully seems to shut off. Many of my clients are successful professionally but find themselves struggling to feel fully present at home, connected in relationships, or able to truly slow their mind down.
I also work with adults navigating depression, major life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and the pressure of trying to manage everything while continuing to perform at a high level. Often, the same strengths that help people succeed professionally can also contribute to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like they always need to stay in control.
Therapy with me is not about judgment or simply “talking about feelings.” It is a practical, supportive, and collaborative process focused on helping you better understand yourself, improve emotional awareness, manage stress more effectively, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and confident in both your personal and professional life.
I have over 17 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families in crisis. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and hold additional certifications as a Master Addictions Counselor and a Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor. I have many specialties, including trauma-informed therapy."

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Atlanta, GA
Searching for OCD therapists in Atlanta starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just someone who lists OCD as a focus area. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people living with OCD, and therapists may need specific training to provide it. As you compare options, look for experience with concerns like intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsions, and anxiety. A therapist’s bio can help you confirm whether they mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or direct experience supporting people living with OCD.
Atlanta has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and Virginia-Highland, which can make the search more detailed rather than simple. Consider whether an in-person office fits your commute, parking needs, or transit route, or whether virtual sessions give you more flexibility. It also helps to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. For OCD care, review each profile closely to see whether the therapist has specific ERP training, since that can be different from general familiarity with OCD.
Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, then compare bios, availability, and appointment formats in one place. From there, you can browse OCD therapists in Atlanta and book directly when you’re ready.
