LPC

Therapist Details

My clients often seek help because depression, anxiety or relationship problems are interfering with life. I work with all kinds of people; LGBT concerns are a specialty of mine. I offer both individual and couples therapy. Many of my clients are busy professionals who juggle the demands of work and personal life and want help finding balance. As you might expect from my location in the heart of Atlanta, my clients are a diverse group of men and women. I limit the number of clients I work with so I can provide the best care possible. My clients find that I am actively engaged – empathetic, nonjudgmental and supportive. My home office in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood creates a peaceful and comfortable working environment. I love my work!
