I am a psychotherapist in Atlanta, GA, working with adult women and men.
Educational and professional background:

I have extensive experience in clinical practice and consultation in diverse settings, including:

My approach to my clients is with acceptance and cultural sensitivity. I believe it is crucial to understand the past in an effort to move forward. The therapeutic process involves identifying strengths as well as defenses, distortions, self-blame and negative thoughts and behaviors.
