Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for supporting people through life’s most challenging and transformative moments. I have the privilege of walking alongside clients from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges. My practice is dedicated to fostering client growth, emotional resilience, and mental wellness through evidence-based practices in diverse populations.

I understand how intimidating it can be to reach out for help, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this journey. Therefore, my focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to feel secure enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences; being client-centered, validating experiences without imposing judgments or assumptions; practicing cultural sensitivity and humility, with mindfulness of how culture, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, and lived experiences shape a client’s worldview and mental health; empowering clients to explore, learn, and build tools to manage their lives more effectively; and focusing on the client’s goals and values.

Clear, honest communication is a powerful tool for healing and growth. In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm and supportive, but also direct and intentional. I practice active listening, utilize humor when appropriate, and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences, with calmness and patience. I will ask meaningful questions and challenge unhelpful patterns with compassion, designed to help you build the tools to confidently navigate life’s challenges.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kennesaw, GA

Searching for therapists in Kennesaw starts with identifying the kind of support you want and the concerns you want to address. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family-focused support.

Kennesaw has local therapy options, but nearby availability can vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Georgia while still giving you access to therapists licensed in the state. Consider whether in-person sessions near Kennesaw, Acworth, or Marietta fit your routine, or whether virtual appointments offer a better match for your calendar. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on availability, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Kennesaw can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Kennesaw, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
