Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Gainesville, GA

I believe every person deserves a space where they feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My practice is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I enjoy working with couples, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

I have advanced training in, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches.

I also have extensive experience helping individuals recover from narcissistic abuse, unhealthy relationship patterns, and the impact of personality disorders on individuals and families.

Above all, I believe people are far more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.
