Neuro-Relational Depth Therapist | Trauma & Addiction Specialist I don’t believe in "by-the-book" therapy. True, sustainable change doesn’t come from a pre-packaged worksheet or a generic protocol. It comes from a deep, rigorous conversation and a relationship built on genuine trust.

I bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and the hard science of the brain. My work is designed for the the individual who wants to understand the "why" behind their patterns to effectively change the "how" of their life.

By focusing on regulation over labels, we move away from shame and toward clarity. My goal is to help you understand exactly what is happening in your brain and body so you can regain your equilibrium.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Decatur, GA


You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Atlanta, GA

Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Atlanta starts with looking for identity-affirming care. For many people, fit means more than general experience with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender dysphoria, or identity-related stress. Look for therapists who list LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or gender identity therapy in their profile. These details can help you find someone whose training and approach match the kind of support you want.

Atlanta has many therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Decatur, Old Fourth Ward, and Buckhead, but the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQ therapists, lgbt counselors near me, or gay friendly therapy when the right in-person fit is farther from home or has limited availability. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes communication style. Profiles that explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ communities, therapists specializing in gender identity, or counseling LGBTQ clients can give you clearer fit signals before you book.

Therapy in Atlanta 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 search for therapists who match your needs, see insurance options available through Headway, and review clear cost estimates before your first session. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
