Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

What would it look for you to live a life that more closely aligns with your values and potential? Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck as we repeat the same self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. We try to cope with the stresses of life, but our coping mechanisms just don't seem to work anymore. Let's face it: life can be really hard at times. But with the help of others, we can take steps towards becoming the people we were created to be. As a therapist, I create a warm environment to help you achieve your goals. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety, as well as those who are simply adjusting to challenging life circumstances and events (i.e., a global pandemic, the loss of a loved one, moving to a new city). In all of these cases, I believe that change and healing take place in the context of relationships with other people, and I would consider it a privilege to cultivate a therapeutic relationship with you as you take steps towards living into your values and potential.

College can be exciting—but also overwhelming. You may be balancing pressure to perform, adjusting to independence, or quietly struggling with anxiety, loneliness, or burnout. I support college students who feel stretched thin, unsure of their path, or disconnected from who they truly are. In our work together, you’ll find a space to slow down, reflect, and invite God into the process. Whether you’re dealing with academic stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional exhaustion, I’ll help you explore how faith, boundaries, and healthy coping can support your peace and growth. You don’t have to carry it all alone. Healing is possible when you have a safe space to be seen, heard, and restored—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

I specialize in working with individuals who may be struggling with performance, anxiety and panic, life and faith transitions, sexual and gender identity, disordered eating, medical issues, depression, and relationship concerns.

My recent experience with athletes and as a professor of a course in performance psychology allows me to apply that knowledge when working with a diverse array of individuals; not only athletes, but also those working in occupations that demand high levels of performance.
