We can often find ourselves feeling as though others just don't "get it." We can get caught up in the "why" when bad things happen to us. Do people often call you strong or resilient? Were you an "old spirit" as a kid or wise beyond your years? Trauma is unfair, it steals, breaks, and leaves a trail of hurt. Trauma can change us to our core and it's absolutely worth talking about. You deserve to feel the release of past horrible events following you around.

I enjoy working with kids (10+) and teen girls dealing with anxiety, past trauma, sports performance, friendship problems, family conflict, big transitions, perfectionistic tendencies, and managing big emotions. The clients I support are goal-driven and hard-working but are often struggling on the inside. My goal is to assist clients in challenging times by helping them develop the skills and mindsets to reach their full potential.
Have you been experiencing feelings of dread, worry, and fear? Have you been down, depressed, or hopeless for several weeks or more? Having trouble navigating life challenges or obstacles? Lets work on ways to cope and conquer the anxiety and depression. Lets find alternatives to the life challenges. We can work on ways to change your thinking and changing your life.
You have done life alone and without the support that you need. The loneliness has crept in and taken over. You really want to heal but everything you have tried doesn't work. It's finally time to heal in ways you have been searching for. We are passionate about bringing excellent care to each client that steps in the therapy room so you finally have the support you've been needing. We are here.
My clients are people who's lives have been noticeably affected by a decline in their mental health. Their symptoms have become more disruptive over time and may affect sleep patterns, appetite, or energy levels. They find that work and relationships have become increasingly difficult to maintain. They are ready feel better, improve daily functioning, and return to their normal lives.
I specialize in helping active and retired professionals including doctors, advanced practice providers, nurses, attorneys, therapists and other helpers free themselves from feeling stuck. I provide brain-based experiences in therapy that are often more useful and transformational than talk therapy alone. I help clear out-of-date and inaccurate brain data so a person can think, feel and behave in ways that align with who they really are and how they want to be in their life.

If you have found yourself inconsolable after your pet died, please know that you're normal. Because our emotional bonds with our pets are so strong, their death can produce a level of pain that is hard to describe. After a loss, we can struggle between the life we had and the reality we now are faced with. Grief counseling provides a space for you to talk about how this loss (and others) is impacting your life. I look forward to teaching you tools to bring healing into your life.
We become and unbecome who we are because of relationships. For many of us our childhood traumas inform how we behave as adults. My work is centered on the impact of generational trauma. Did you have a challenging mother, father or guardian? Because of your childhood relationships do you "people please", have a hard time saying no, struggle to set boundaries, feel anxious in romantic relationships, etc? I hope to help you create peace in your relationship with self and others.
As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of Black men’s mental health needs.
You're ready to change. You're ready to put in the time and effort to change. You're ready for a no nonsense, practical, straightforward approach to what's troubling you. You want a therapist who has a flexible schedule and will work with you in person, online, by phone, text and email for as long or short a time as you need. You want a therapist who walks the talk and has experienced his own profound personal growth. You want a therapist who is kind, compassionate and has heard it all.

Over the past 29 years, I have provided telehealth & in-office counseling services to adolescents & adults. My experiences have ranged from clinical & program administration to individual/group/family therapy & psychological testing. Diagnoses treated include PTSD, sports performance (professional and amateur), chronic mental health issues, medical-psychiatric issues, chemical dependency, chronic health conditions, & general mood dysfunction.
Are you a creative professional who is burnt out, anxious or depressed, feeling blocked or insecure, and not sure how to navigate a path forward? When my clients first start therapy with me, they feel overwhelmed. They are talented, creative and perceptive, but they're running low on energy. Therapy helps them gain fresh perspectives and coping skills, achieve more balance and confidence, and move forward as their full, authentic selves. I have particular expertise treating OCD & phobias.
For over 20 years, I have worked with clients living with depression, anxiety, strained relationships, trauma, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns. I assist clients with identifying and building upon their inner strengths. Through therapy, many clients 'find their own voice', become more empowered, and achieve improved feelings of value and self worth. Call for a free consultation. 1 hour virtual sessions are $175. Concierge services available in the ATL area, $275 per session.
When my clients come to me, they're tired of trying to appear like they've got it together. They feel like they've lost themselves in the daily hustle and trying to get everything "right." They confess they feel resentful and don't know how to prioritize their mental health. They are exhausted from racing thoughts that plague them day and night, and they are experts at analyzing all the "what-if's" that could go wrong. They are the epitome of the "this is fine" meme.

Anxiety and depression can cloud our judgment, closing us off from ourselves and others. We may feel paralyzed, unable to move forward with goals, continually engaging in self-destructive patterns of thoughts and behavior. Perhaps you have achieved some goals, yet still feel empty and “not good enough.” Maybe you’re going through a life transition, such as becoming a new parent, dealing with illness, grieving a loss, or confronting a previous trauma. You don’t have to face it alone.
Are you longing for genuine connection and inner peace? Struggling to break free from the past amidst the daily chaos, mental fog, and overwhelming emotions? In a complex world, achieving a fulfilling life can seem out of reach. But envision feeling empowered, deeply at peace, and aligned with your true desires. Imagine authentic connections, a clear sense of purpose, and the joy of living in the moment.
Have you felt like forming and maintaining relationships, engaging in consistent self-care, or basic adulting is harder for you than those around you? Do you feel like you’re never quite able to “be yourself,” or even understand what that might look like? Do you feel you’re either “too much” or “not enough?” I work with clients of all neurotypes looking to unlearn harmful beliefs and expectations and create a life that better fits their needs.
