Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Gainesville, GA

My goal is to explore the root of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to create lasting healing. I love this work, and everyone I work with holds a special place in my heart. I have studied multiple treatments in order to help with parenting, trauma, self-perception, and many challenges with mood, thoughts, and behavior that are not making you feel proud of yourself or your life. PCIT helps children ages 2-6; ABFT is helpful for adolescents experiencing many issues, including suicidal ideation and self-harm. IFS is extremely helpful for a wide range of challenges, including trauma. I also incorporate AEDP and coherence therapy to round out my approach to the healing work.

I am in the helping profession to use my wisdom, talents, experiences, and education to help guide you so you can get to where you want to be. I am empathetic, compassionate, present, direct, and sometimes witty!

I was born to do the work I do! I seek and find my work/life balance by enjoying travel, cooking, light gardening, maintaining meaningful connections with those I love, hiking, and reading.

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

I have been a counselor legally for years but a great listener all of my life. I graduated with my master's at Brenau University almost 5 years ago. Most of my background comes from educational schooling and life experiences.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and family conflict. I’m especially passionate about helping you better understand yourself and your patterns in relationships so you can create meaningful, lasting change in your everyday life.

I am a Trauma-Focused Therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families as they navigate trauma, maternal mental health, and emotional healing. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Family Consumer Science and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been a licensed professional in the state of Georgia for 6 years. My work focuses on helping clients who have experienced trauma, abuse (sexual, emotional, physical), anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, domestic violence, blended families, and major life transitions.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I enjoy working with children, teens and adults who are navigating personal challenges including anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, chronic illness, and life adjustments. I specialize in evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy modalities. I am passionate about this work because I believe God has created us for relational connection, and healing begins with feeling heard and seen--no one should have to face life's trials alone.
