Contentment Psychotherapy

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Georgia and Florida. I offer in-person sessions in the Marietta, Kennesaw, and Smyrna areas, as well as Telehealth services for clients throughout both states.

My work is informed by Jungian and depth-oriented psychotherapy, along with person-centered, psychodynamic, and existential approaches. Together, these perspectives allow us to engage the full complexity of your inner world—not just symptoms, but the deeper layers of meaning beneath them.

So what does this look like in practice?

Our work together is not about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It is a collaborative, non-directive process rooted in presence and attention to what is unfolding in the moment. We listen closely—to your thoughts, your emotions, your patterns, and the subtle movements of the psyche.

Over time, themes begin to emerge.

We begin to notice the story that is living within you—the one that has been shaped by experience, relationships, and the unconscious. Rather than trying to override or eliminate this story, we approach it with curiosity. We gently “excavate” it, bringing it into awareness so it can be seen, understood, and related to in a new way.

Your inner narrative has served a purpose. It has protected you, adapted for you, and helped you survive. And yet, what once protected you may now be limiting your capacity to live more freely and fully.

This work is not about forcing change, but about deepening awareness.

Curiosity becomes the pathway—an opening into a more honest relationship with your whole Self. Through this process, something new can begin to emerge: greater clarity, a sense of integration, and the possibility of living in a way that feels more aligned and authentic.

After spending 32 years in the corporate world - I made a major life pivot to move into the counseling field.  

After a difficult period during my career, which I dubbed my 'flame out' period, I chose to take stock in what I desired in my life and the direction I wished to go professionally and it was not remaining in a technical field.  The universe has a way of realigning itself with your path in life.  Early in my college career, I held an interest in mental health and took a detour to Engineering and my corporate life.  My burnout brought me back to my original interest.  Back to grad school I went!  My desire and drive was strong and over a ten year period of paralleling my corporate job and counseling studies, training and working with clients - the tortoise (me) crossed the finish line and was able to retire and move fully into my encore career of counseling.

I bring to our time together wisdom - a mix of logic and heart - in an effort to understand your world and struggles and every so often we will laugh together too!
