Guiding others towards authentic living.
When you are taught early to put yourself on the back burner, choosing to live authentically is difficult, risky and easier said than done. I understand the resistance from others, discomfort with growth and uncertainty of the unknown that can occur from self prioritization. Letting go of destructive patterns that left you in the trenches is painful but necessary for your growth, healing and freedom.
Authentic Living involves alignment, accountability, and authenticity from intentional awareness and action.
Alignment
The courageous act of choosing a path that's the right fit for you.
Accountability
Maintaining responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors on that path.
Authenticity
Arriving to each destination as your true self — without an apology, explanation or feelings of guilt.
Throughout this journey, you must be an active participant in your success.
You can live as your true self, let me show you how!
Individual Therapy
At Authentic Living Therapeutic Solutions, we offer online 60 minute individual therapy sessions to adults in Georgia navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD and relationship issues. Individual therapy is a collaborative process so I partner with Clients to explore their challenges, identify strengths and resources to meet their needs and develop practical skills to achieve their goals. Reaching out for support takes courage and we're here to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space that honors your unique journey.
My Specialities
01
Depression
When you don't have the energy to do anything so you stay in bed all day, you feel nothing and everything at the same time. Together, we can re-engage with the self care you need, the ones you love, and the activities you enjoy to stop the downward spiral.
- Improve mood & motivation
- Increase energy & enjoyment of life
- Reconnect with support system
- Boost overall well-being
02
Anxiety
When your nervous system has been on high alert for so long, overwhelm feels normal. Together, we can slow down the cycle, befriend the body’s signals, and rebuild a baseline of calm that doesn’t depend on everything going right.
- Sleep & racing-mind support
- Cultivate a regulated nervous system
- Challenge negative thinking
- Recognize & reduce triggers

ADHD
When you have raw dogged life without the right support, you constantly compare yourself to others and feel like a failure. Together, we can explore your neurodivergent mind and implement skills for you to stay regulated enough to get your life back on track.
- Enhance Executive Function
- Develop emotional regulation skills
- Learn life hacks for motivation
- Soothe inner critic & self doubt
04
Relationship issues
When you carry unresolved wounds from childhood, the past will continue to destroy current relationships. Together, we can begin a journey of self discovery and healing to develop and maintain healthy relationships from the inside out.
- Identify & heal attachment patterns
- Understand & meet emotional needs
- Practice effective communication
- Rebuild trust with self & others

Starting therapy should feel clear, supportive and pressure free. In our intake session, we will review informed consent and confidentiality, explore the roles and responsibilities between Client and Therapist, gather background information, and answer any questions you may have. If we agree to move forward with a therapeutic relationship, we will schedule future sessions.
During our first therapy session, we will identify the problems that led you to therapy, create therapy goals to work on and list specific changes you want to see from your progress. It is important to discuss your therapeutic journey in advance so as it unfolds, you can recognize your efforts toward successful outcomes.
Each session thereafter will give us opportunities to identify problems, break down goals into small action steps, and monitor progress. This can look like discussing emotions, accepting lived experiences, practicing helpful skills, and implementing effective change. We celebrate progress, not perfection so you have to be an active participant in your success on this journey!

That is completely OK. Therapy works best when there is a good match. If another level or type of care is appropriate, we will discuss that openly
