Great to meet you!

You might be feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure how to help your teen who seems “off” lately. Maybe you’re noticing changes in mood, school performance, friendships, or behavior, and nothing you try at home seems to help. I support teens (13–19) and adults in Georgia who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, family conflict, and the impact of past trauma. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you and your teen can be heard, understood, and supported in making real, lasting changes.

My approach to therapy

I’m a Georgia-licensed therapist with 21 years of experience. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), both highly effective for teens and adults navigating academic pressure, bullying, peer issues, substance use, grief, ADHD, and family challenges. In our first session, we’ll move at a comfortable pace, get to know each other, talk through what’s going on, and collaboratively build a clear, practical treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope will feel different. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to start—I’ll guide the conversation with gentle questions and clear next steps. Together, we’ll define your goals, discuss how we’ll work together, and make sure therapy feels like a good fit. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to meet you and take the next step toward greater stability and relief.
