Couples, Family & Individual Therapy in Cumberland and North Metro Atlanta
I provide therapy in Cumberland, Atlanta, serving individuals, couples, and families throughout North Metro Atlanta. I believe that our relationships shape our emotional lives, and that cultivating secure connections is a powerful pathway to personal growth and fulfillment.
With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work to guide clients in exploring attachment dynamics, understanding emotional patterns, and building more responsive, meaningful relationships. Therapy becomes a space where deep emotions can be processed safely, relationships can be strengthened, and clients can develop the confidence to create the lives they desire.
Who I Help in Cumberland & North Metro Atlanta
Couples Therapy
I support couples in navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, and deepening emotional connection. Using an attachment-focused, EFT-informed approach, we uncover the underlying emotional needs driving patterns and cultivate more secure, resilient bonds.
Individual Therapy
I work with adults seeking insight into their life challenges, emotional regulation, identity, and relational patterns. My approach emphasizes understanding the interplay between past experiences, current relationships, and personal growth opportunities.
Family Therapy
I assist families in strengthening bonds, improving communication, and supporting parents in fostering secure, emotionally attuned relationships with their children. I value partnership with caregivers as essential to long-term growth and well-being.
My Approach to Emotionally Focused Therapy in Atlanta
My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based care. I create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore emotions and relational dynamics with patience and insight. I believe the process of learning to reach for and receive care from those who matter most is delicate but transformative, and I am honored to guide clients through this work.
As Clinical Director at The Relationship House, I collaborate closely with therapists to ensure clients receive the highest quality care. I am committed to providing LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-affirming therapy for all clients in Cumberland and North Metro Atlanta.
