Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.
Welcome! First and foremost, therapy is my passion. I genuinely believe in empowering and supporting others on their healing journey. It is so important to allow people to establish their voice and feel heard without the fear of being judged. I have extensive experience in treating different diagnoses and treating various emotional and social challenges. I find great joy working with my clients as they discover their own strengths and find purpose in their journey.
After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.
My name is Dakota. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor located in the North Metro area of Atlanta. I have been working with a diverse range of clients since 2018. I graduated from the University of North Georgia in 2019 with a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My practice aims to help clients find their way through life and learn to adapt to all life's changes. I prioritize offering affirming, judgment-free, and objective feedback while also providing research-based treatment for a variety of mental health conditions.
I have served in the addiction and mental health treatment fields for 15 years.
During this time, I've worked in multiple settings such as state agencies, treatment courts, universities, and in private practice. I currently serve as the Executive Director of PathLight Counseling in Woodstock, GA. PathLight began in 2017 with one mission in mind; to help the hurting and see people set free. I treat teens and adults.
I work primarily with adult men who may appear successful and capable on the outside, but inwardly feel stuck, confused, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or retired men who’ve spent years focused on careers and responsibilities, but now find themselves asking deeper questions about who they are, why they feel the way they do, and how to live more authentically. Some are navigating major life transitions—divorce, retirement, grief, or aging. Others are simply tired of feeling emotionally numb, misunderstood, or unsure of how to change long-standing patterns.
I specialize in working with men who are ready to take an honest look at themselves—not because something is “broken,” but because something inside is asking for more. More clarity. More peace. More understanding of why they think, feel, and act the way they do. Using evidence-based modalities such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS) , Hypnotherapy and DBT.
I understand the pressures, expectations, and quiet struggles many men carry—but rarely talk about. I also know how hard it can be to reach out and say, “I could use someone to talk to.” Therapy isn’t about being weak. It’s about being brave enough to face what’s been buried, and strong enough to grow beyond it. If any of this speaks to you, let's talk

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Suwanee
Finding the right therapist in Suwanee starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Common license types include LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist. If you think medication management may be part of your care, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Suwanee is home to a diverse community, and the right therapeutic fit goes beyond credentials. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style, background, and approach. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can ask questions and see if it feels like a good match before booking a full session.
Therapy in the greater Suwanee and Gwinnett County area can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage.
