Infidelity is an area in which I have had a great deal of specialized training and experience.
I also have a great deal of experience with couples and family relationships. I led a parent’s group, adolescent daily group and family therapy sessions while employed on a child and adolescent unit for four years at Peachford Hospital in Atlanta. I was also employed as Director of Child and Adolescent Services in Atlanta at Brawner Hospital. My experience is extensive with persons ages 4 to 96.

My therapy style is warm and interactive – often playful. I believe in treating my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion; and I don’t believe in labels.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, humanistic, psycho-dynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will always consider your individual needs in formulating a treatment plan with you.
It takes a great deal of courage to step out of one’s familiar comfort zone to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first step towards making a change
