For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Seeking therapy for the first time or trying therapy again after a not so successful attempt can be scary and difficult. It is understandable to be cautious of trying therapy. Ultimately, it is YOUR time and a safe place for YOU to be yourself and work with me on living your best life. Coming to see me does not mean you have to have "crazy" issues to attend or that it must be forever. Therapy is in your pace. We can work slowly towards goals if that feels safer.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in GA whose telehealth practice offers a nonjudgmental and safe environment for anyone who is seeking insight, interactive feedback, or growth on their journey. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, phobias, OCD, and life transitions and grief.

I prefer to work along with my client collaboratively to have a strong therapeutic alliance and a safe space for you to feel comfortable in.

I specialize in working with adults. Please reach out and I would love to help guide you in making positive changes in your life.

Therapy can be scary. And let’s face it, talking about painful life experiences can be difficult.  In my work, the most important goal is to build a mutual trust and honesty with my clients.  In building that relationship, we can find what works. Clients should be empowered to make therapy work for them!

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? As a parent, are you struggling with your teen? Family issues? Let me help. I offer online therapy for teens, parents, and families. As a private practitioner & school counselor, I can help you sort through individual, adolescent, and family difficulties. For over 20 years, I have helped teens, adults, and families adjust to difficult situations. Research has proven that the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship.

It takes strength to seek help. My goal is to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, where we can explore and find insight together. In therapy, I enjoy working with clients to explore their inner worlds to build self resiliency. Mostly, I work with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression and/or dealing with trauma. During our sessions, I take a mind-body approach where we collaborate investigating factors keeping you from success. Using a mix of treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and other meditation / mindfulness-based treatments, we’ll explore how to reach your goals.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, but it's a courageous step towards healing and personal growth. Therapy offers a confidential space to explore challenges, gain new perspectives, and develop effective coping strategies. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

Effective therapy keeps your needs in mind. You will be given the time and space to figure out what you want out of therapy, and though you may encouraged to get out of your comfort zone, you shouldn't be forced out of it. Therapy should be collaborative: you should be empowered to use the time as you like, and to say no when you don't like where it's going.

I'm a therapist in San Francisco specializing in anxiety, men's mental health, and relationship issues. I believe that effective therapy is both insightful and pragmatic - you should come away from therapy sessions with a better understanding of what you're facing, along with some ideas about how to get started on solutions. I help people find new ways of approaching their concerns so that their lives can be more manageable and fulfilling. This may mean having less conflict in your relationship, less anxiety, less negative thoughts, or making some big changes to your day-to-day life. Clients find me to be collaborative, open, and curious. I want to make sure you feel safe to explore difficult topics, and that you always feel I'm on your side, even when I'm challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone.
