Individual & Couples Therapy in Milton, Georgia
Individual Therapy for Adults, YA, Teens
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Behavioral Therapy (SFBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to identify the unhelpful thoughts that slip into your subconscious and replace them with ones that support your goals—so instead of getting stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn, eat, shop, fake, drink, escape, upgrade or maximize mode, you can break free from patterns that fuel shame, block life satisfaction or drive procrastination. Let's challenge the "musts" and "shoulds" holding you back and replace them with constructive ways of thinking.
Couples
With the Gottman Method, I help couples stop arguing in circles and start communicating like people who care about each other. It’s not magic; it’s a skill that needs to be practiced.
The Gottman Method is a practical way that any couple can break out of a cycle of repeated arguments and start communicating for the purpose of their friendship. Based on decades of research, couples learn to recognize conflict patterns, outsmart the "Four Horsemen" of Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness and Stonewalling to strengthen trust and commitment. GM is great for couples that want a practical framework to handle all future conflicts & missed connections.
Families
If we demand that our families always understand us or never let us down, we will be disappointed. Learn the skills to accept them as they are—imperfect human beings we can still choose to be in relationships with.
However, sometimes the hurt runs deep. Acknowledging that trauma is important but insisting they should have been better can prolong suffering. Healing comes from accepting their limitations, feeling the pain without letting it define your life and finding ways to move forward.
If you’re struggling with these challenges, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your feelings, reframe expectations and develop healthier ways of relating to your family.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is a therapy session that takes place while walking, instead of in a therapy room indoors. Instead of sitting down together, we will take a walk on a private 40 acre property for the duration of your session.
