My Approach to Helping

The therapeutic environment I provide allows couples and individuals to release their deepest and most hurtful feelings in a confidential, secure and healing place. I use reflective listening and questioning to reveal unproductive thinking and behaviors, uncover a client's natural abilities, and teach useful skills for living.

My approach is supportive, respectful and encouraging. I consider myself a collaborator with my clients in helping them get relief from their burdens and regain emotional health.

More Info About My Practice

I am in private practice at Century Lake, which is central to Metro Atlanta. I am a network provider for several insurance companies. My regular fee is $90 for a 50-minute session and $135 for a 75-minute session.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

My specialty is helping people with their relationships, whether personal or professional. Inner emotional turmoil is often caused by difficult relationships, whether it is with a life partner, friend or family member or a work colleague. The effects of past relationships, such as with an abusive parent, can adversely affect self-esteem and result in dysfunctional ways of relating and poor relationship choices. In therapy, we begin by exploring a person’s relationship with self, which is the basis for developing all other relationships. Every individual has core beliefs about self and subconscious motivations that drive feelings and behavior towards others. However, often we are unaware of these inner motives. In treatment, clients gain deeper insight into fictional beliefs about self and others. They learn healthier ways to relate to others whether improving or ending a relationship.
