Licensed Therapist · Atlanta, GA
The Practitioner
Most people who come to me are functioning. They’re meeting their responsibilities, keeping up, doing everything right — and quietly running on empty. That’s usually where the work begins.
I work with people dealing with the harder things — anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that makes everything feel flat, relationships that have gotten complicated, or life changes that have left them unsure who they are anymore.
My approach is direct. I don’t use a lot of jargon, and I don’t think therapy has to feel like an excavation of your past to be useful.
I care about what’s actually going on in your life right now — how you’re sleeping, how you’re showing up at work, what’s happening in your relationships — and I work to understand the patterns underneath that.
Sessions feel like a real conversation. Not a performance. You’ll hear what I actually think, with care but without the cushioning that makes therapy feel useless.
I work in person in Atlanta and via telehealth across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Colorado, and Nevada. I accept most major insurance through Headway and offer a sliding scale for uninsured clients.
If you’re a referring provider — I’m responsive, I have availability, and I’m easy to refer to. New client inquiries typically get a reply within one business day.
The people most likely to benefit from therapy are often the ones least likely to seek it — because they’re too busy functioning.

The issues that show up in real life — often in combination, rarely with clean edges. Individual and couples therapy for adults and young adults at every stage.
Anxiety
High-functioning, generalized, social. The kind that looks fine from the outside and exhausts you from the inside.
02Depression
Not always sadness. Sometimes it’s just flat — everything taking more effort than it should.
03Couples Therapy
Communication breakdowns, repeating patterns, and the distance that builds quietly over time.
04Life Transitions
Career shifts, loss, identity questions, the version of yourself you’re trying to become.
05Anger Management
Not about suppression — about understanding what’s underneath and channeling it differently.
06Addiction Recovery
Motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and building a different relationship with yourself.
07Young Adults
18–30. Identity, relationships, first real failures, figuring out what you actually want.
08Grief & Loss
Death, divorce, the end of a chapter. Processing what’s gone without losing what’s left.
Clinical Philosophy
Sessions are a real conversation. You’ll hear what I actually think — with care, but without the cushioning that makes therapy feel useless. If something’s worth saying, it gets said.
Context and history matter. But I’m more interested in what’s happening in your life right now, and what you want to be different about it. The past informs; it doesn’t dictate.
Insights without application don’t change much. The goal is for things to actually be different — in your relationships, your patterns, your day-to-day experience.
