Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Decatur, GA

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with the passion to help you live your best life. I applaud you for deciding to focus on your mental health.

I believe genuine healing springs from feeling fully understood and accepted. In our work together, you'll find a therapist who listens deeply, asks curious questions, and partners with you to uncover pathways toward growth and relief. We co-design your journey based on your goals, values, and strengths.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. I believe each person's story is rich with meaning and resilience, and therapy should honor your lived experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, overwhelm, loss, or major life transitions, I meet you where you are with curiosity, respect, and care.

You don’t have to keep doing everything on your own.

Maybe you’re used to being the strong one—the person who keeps going, takes care of everyone else, and pushes through even when you’re exhausted. But underneath it all, you may be anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, or simply tired of feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode.

Maybe your mind won’t slow down. You overthink everything, struggle to sleep, feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand, or find yourself reacting more strongly than you want to. Maybe relationships have become difficult, you’re struggling to reconnect with the people you love, or you’re wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”

You don’t have to come to therapy with all the answers. We can work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, untangle the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. My goal isn’t simply to help you manage symptoms—it’s to help you understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more like yours.

I also believe that healing can involve the deeper questions of life. If spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, or meaning are important to you, I welcome bringing those parts of yourself into therapy. Sometimes healing isn’t just about feeling less anxious or depressed—it’s about reconnecting with who you are, what matters to you, and the life you want to create.

You’ve spent enough time surviving. You deserve the opportunity to heal, reconnect, and truly live. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to help you along the way.

Hi, I'm Mary. I work with individuals 16+ struggling with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I have over a decade of experience in the mental health field, with specialized training in trauma, crisis intervention, and eating disorder treatment.

Being human can be hard under the best of circumstances. When anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships are added, the challenges can be daunting. It is a true honor to be able to accompany people on their journey towards better navigating the challenges of life with greater calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage, as well as deeper connections with those around them. As a Professional Counselor, I have the privilege of working with clients to discover their path towards a meaningful, authentic, and rewarding life.

I come to the field of counseling after 15 years in the corporate world. My experience working with individuals with high anxiety have informed my interest in helping people overcome difficulties and achieve their potential. My areas of experience are: Anxiety and Relationships, which are often related, and other times completely independent of each other.

On the Anxiety side, I specialize in OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking, GAD, panic, trauma, and hoarding. I am passionate about working with individuals who suffer from Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors – a condition with which I personally struggled for over 15 years. I am equally passionate about working with people through their intimate relationships.

I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.
