Many of us experience mental health concerns at some point in our lives, while others may have to navigate challenges or deal with family conflict. Therapy can be helpful in building a toolbox of strategies, coping skills, and self-care techniques that can both empower the individual and facilitate the healing process. When it comes to finding a therapist, Sandy Springs, GA can offer a wider array of choice than surrounding rural or suburban areas, but it isn’t always easy finding the right practitioner, even in a more populated area. 

One reason is that in the mental health field there are many evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective, depending on the challenge being treated. What you need may not necessarily be available nearby. For example, you may live near a neighborhood clinic that specializes in family dynamics in a supportive family environment…but you are actually looking for solution based therapy to work on professional goal setting. Or you are experiencing the symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, but the only therapist you can find that specializes in this condition isn’t taking new patients. 

This is where online therapy can help. With an online therapy platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that have experience across a variety of specialties, and with experience serving diverse populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will match you to a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because a strong client/counselor relationship can be key to success, if you need to change therapists at any time you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for people without the time or bandwidth to attend in-person appointments. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and for those looking for the ultimate supportive environment, video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. 

If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether to process unresolved trauma with family members, find diagnostic testing for postpartum depression, or are interested in investigating a whole person approach to health and wellness, there is no better time to reach out. Contact BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your mental health journey.

I have a range of expertise, but specialize in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and intimacy related issues. Challenging circumstances and particular seasons of life have the potential to distract and throw us off course, causing life to feel out of control and confusing. Sometimes a fresh perspective can remind you of who you are, point you in the right direction, and provide new tools and resources to get you where you want to go and bring balance back into your life. Together we can explore your goals, strengths/weaknesses, and unique personality to make sense of your current struggles and leverage new opportunities for growth and change. My style is warm and empathetic, and my approach is collaborative and tailored to your particular needs and values. Give yourself permission to take the time you need, in a safe and accepting environment, to discover the best version of yourself and to unleash the power within you to create a life that is fulfilling, intentional, authentic, and meaningful.

I support a variety of relationship dynamics, whether you're into classic monogamy, the wild world of polyamory, the daring realms of kink and BDSM, or even the captivating universe of swinging. Furthermore, you don't have to be in a relationship to see me, you can be single, dating, or just dealing with overwhelm, overthinking, over-giving, over-performing, people pleasing, codependency, or perfectionist thoughts and behaviors with lovers, family, and friends. No matter what you are going through, my mission is to equip you with the keys to break free from the jail of your own mind. My approach may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but why don't we dance together and see if we find a vibe? Here's the fun part – my toolbox is packed with a smorgasbord of transformative goodies: --Hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious) --Visualization (painting your dreams) --Guided Meditation (inner exploration) --Somatic/Body Work (connecting with the physical you) --Parts therapy (exploring your inner family) --Inner Child work (explore inner true you) --Breathwork (unleashing your breath's magic) --Narrative Trauma Work (rewriting your story) --Psychoeducation and Mindset Shifting (transforming your mental landscape) --Tapping/EFT (channeling your energy) --Conscious communication (unlocking the power of effective dialogue) Lastly, my schedule is late afternoon to late evening.
