Christian therapists in Atlanta, Georgia GA

I am a Wellness Focused Clinician and Christian Counselor. My specialties are Acceptance and Commitment and Behavior Therapy for Anxiety Management, Survivors of Domestic Abuse, Codependency, and Trauma. I also provide Career Counseling, Premarital, Couple and Relationship Behavior Therapy, Grief Counseling, and Christian Counseling.  

I am very passionate about helping other people as I believe that every person is inherently valuable and worthy of living a meaningful and balanced life. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. Much of my clinical experience includes working with adults and adolescents who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with those who are simply in the process of adjusting to challenging life circumstances and events (i.e., the loss of a loved one, starting a new job, coping with a global pandemic). In all of these cases, I believe that change and healing take place in the context of relationships with others, and I consider it a privilege to cultivate therapeutic relationships with people who are working towards making meaningful changes. I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. As a clinician who also has an educational background in theological studies, I integrate spirituality and spiritual formation into counseling when desired by clients, always with the intention of helping clients achieve their goals.

Do you find it hard to connect with others sometimes? Ever feel like you are too much or that you need to hold it all in because otherwise you’ll fall apart completely? Or maybe you feel like you are not enough – at work, in relationships, or even for yourself. If you're a parent, does it feel like your child is out of control or that you can't seem to get through to them? Your feelings and concerns are valid. If you’ve been hurt before or run out of hope, of course there is fear that trusting someone else could end in disaster. My hope is that we can work together to create a healing experience of safety for you or for your child. Asking for help is not easy, but I’d be honored to be on the receiving end of the request.  

In this big world that we live in, we often find ourselves surrounded by people, but walking entirely alone. They don’t understand us and when we stop to think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand ourselves. The pain, fear, and other struggles become who you think you are, losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. You’ve tried changing your personality or appearance to find the love and acceptance you crave, but it’s only left you feeling empty. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and the pain becomes too much to handle and the feeling of being “stuck” has settled in. Through our work together, you will find empowerment to face your struggles, strength to have ultimate freedom over your life and learn practical tools to apply to everyday life. My therapeutic approach is based on building a strong, healthy relationship with you and walking side by side through your journey of self-acceptance and healing. You don’t have to do this alone. I can help you experience self-acceptance, worth beyond measure and ultimate freedom from self-judgment. I know seeking counseling can be hard, but help is within your reach. Together, we can walk through this journey to make meaningful and positive changes in your life. Call me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.  

Healing happens in relationship. A collaborative and connected relationship is the best place for healing. Someone to say "I am here, I am with you in this pain", powerful and rare. But it's possible. Therapy with me can provide this healing. You can grow and change, long lasting relief is possible.
