A safe, accepting space to get support without judgment

Reaching out for counseling can feel like a risk. You want support. You also want to know you will be met with respect, not judgment.

I work with people of all types from all over Atlanta, from my warm, friendly office in Brookhaven. We can meet in person, by phone, or on Zoom. This is an accepting space where you can show up as your real self. In affirming counseling, your identity is respected. It is not up for debate, and it is never treated as the problem. We will focus on what is hurting and what you want to change, at a pace that feels steady and safe.

If you are searching for LGBTQ affirming counseling, LGBTQ friendly counseling, or trans affirming counseling in Atlanta, you are in the right place.

What “affirming” means here

Affirming counseling means you are accepted as you are. Your identity is not treated as the problem.
We can talk about relationships, family, faith, stress, anxiety, and anything else that is part of your life without you having to brace for judgment.

What we can work on in counseling

You do not need the perfect words to start. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of carrying it alone, we can begin there.

Anxiety and panic

Worry, panic, trouble sleeping, feeling on edge.

Depression and heaviness

Low mood, numbness, shame, burnout.

Relationship patterns

Repeating conflict, distance, shutdown, people pleasing.

Couples counseling

Communication, trust, repair, rebuilding closeness.

Healing from emotional abuse

Rebuilding boundaries and self trust after control, criticism, or shaming.

Grief and life transitions

Loss, estrangement, change, identity shifts.

My approach

I primarily use Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT helps us understand the emotional pattern underneath the stuck places, and then shift the cycle.
