I’m a trauma‑informed therapist who blends warmth, clinical precision, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience to help clients feel safe, seen, and capable of meaningful change.
I am an associate professional counselor in Georgia, and I support clients who've been carrying a heavy load alone and are finally ready for relief from always having to be strong. I work with children experiencing big feelings they can't yet name, teens trying to understand who they are, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions. My clients often want to feel more regulated, connected, and grounded, understand their emotions, and break old patterns. I offer a warm, steady space where you can feel seen rather than judged, understood rather than dismissed, and supported as you build tools that fit your life.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions, using person-centered, trauma-informed care with therapeutic play foundations, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based practices. I support clients in developing communication and coping skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I offer a supportive, goal‑focused space where you can explore what's been challenging and gain clarity about your next steps. If you're considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out so we can explore whether working together aligns with the changes you are hoping to make.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Alpharetta, GA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Alpharetta, GA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
With Adolescent drug use becoming an epidemic Thriveworks Alpharetta uses an integrative intervention that targets self-sustaining changes in the family environment of the adolescent. That means that the treatment environment is built into the adolescent’s daily family life.
