ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Tucker, GA

Thank you for reading my profile and considering my services. It would be an honor to help you with the issues causing you distress and unhappiness. Counseling is not just a job for me, it's a calling. After an extraordinary career in Human Resources, both domestically and internationally, I've found my true passion in counseling. I'm committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need. I've been a counselor for many years and enjoy a very interactive relationship with my clients.

I've embraced the southern warmth, but I'm a born and bred northeasterner, originally from snowy Buffalo, NY. The University of Rochester and the University of Rochester School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry was my training ground, and since then, my experience has spanned from Rural Mental Health in Albion, NY, to School Mental Health in Washington, DC .

Hello there!

My aim as a therapist is to connect with you as a person, not just a client. In my opinion, therapy can be fun, not just full of tears and processing hard things. I try to make it fun and enjoyable even though there will be times when it's difficult. I use humor to bring you out of your shell and connection to get you where you want to go! I can't wait to meet you.

Hello and welcome! I'm an LPC, NCC, and Registered Play Therapist providing neurodiversity-affirming care for children, teens, and families. I partner closely with families to foster connection, resilience, and lasting growth.

I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I assist clients to be empowered and learn different coping mechanisms as needed. I create a warm and safe environment for people to discuss their needs.

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.
