Grief counselors and therapists in Peachtree Corners, GA

I am a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner, credentialed as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). My training and clinical background allow me to provide holistic care that considers both mental and physical health. I specialize in evaluating and treating a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, and stress-related conditions. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered while working toward their treatment goals.

I'm a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My background includes extensive work in crisis intervention and helping people through difficult times. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. My approach is professional and personable, blending expertise with warmth and humor. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing can truly begin.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Professional Clinical Supervisor (CPCS) with over a decade of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology and have built my career serving individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and high-pressure environments.

In addition to providing therapy, I serve as CEO of Success Brand Behavioral Health, where I lead a team of clinicians and continue to provide direct care. I’ve also worked extensively with youth and families involved in foster care and the juvenile justice system and currently teach graduate counseling students as an adjunct professor.

What this means for you: you’re working with a clinician who understands both complex clinical presentations and real-world stress. I’m structured, experienced, and deeply committed to helping clients move from insight to action.

As a board-certified clinical therapist, I view mental health as essential to overall well-being. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I’m proud of you for taking it. With over 15 years of experience, I’m here to support you on your journey. Everyone’s story is unique and deserves an individualized approach to care.

I am a fully licensed clinician fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from KSU (2012) and a Master’s in Psychology from PUC-GO, Brazil.

My approach to therapy is shaped not only by my academic background in Psychology and Social Work, but also by my own personal journey. The challenges I’ve faced have taught me the importance of sitting with pain without judgment, listening deeply, and holding space with compassion and steadiness. I believe in the potential for healing and transformation that arises when individuals cultivate self-acceptance and integrate all aspects of their identity.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can reclaim their sense of safety, agency, and hope. It is a profound privilege to support people in their journey toward growth and self-discovery.

If you’re seeking a therapist who will honor your unique story and offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for healing, I would be honored to work with you.
