Welcome to my practice!

***Please see updated note at the bottom of this intro***

You are taking a very important step in seeking support for yourself, your partner, or your family. In helping you to make this decision, I will describe my approach to the counseling process to determine whether my style feels like a fit for you.

My primary aim is to offer a safe, supportive environment for you to explore and address your personal concerns. I know that coming to counseling can be a difficult decision but I also believe that it takes more courage to face one's problems than to avoid them.  I have a practical, down-to-earth approach, seeking to identify, address, and resolve areas of conflict and obstacles in your life. I am there to support you through the process of self-discovery - to look at problems from another perspective and to help you find what is true for you, discover your authentic voice, and explore options to resolve your conflicts.

I urge you to contact several therapists before you decide as the counseling relationship has to be a really "good fit."  We each bring our own style into the room and you will do best to find the therapist that resonates best for you.  I would look forward to talking with you to answer questions you may have about counseling and how I work and to see if I would be the right person to offer counseling services to you.

Please feel free to call me at 770-316-6556.

***Please know that as of 3/10/2020, due to the current health concerns that we are experiencing, I will only be offering counseling sessions online. No in office face-to-face sessions will be available. I will be conducting all sessions on a confidential HIPAA approved online platform. You would need access to a computer and a place that would be private and confidential for you.

Many insurance companies do cover Telemental Health sessions. You would need to contact your insurance provider to see if you have coverage for this service and whether you need any specific approval or authorization prior to the session.

Many EAP companies also approve Telemental Health sessions, but you must get them to specifically authorize those sessions in advance.

I am hoping to be able to offer sessions in my office again at some point, however, in order to keep health risks as low as we can for all of us, the sessions online are what I will be offering until it seems safe and prudent to meet in person again.

Please feel free to contact me at 770-316-6556 with any questions or concerns or to schedule an appointment.
