Hi, I’m Rachel. I’ve been a licensed professional counselor since 2008, but more than that, I’m someone who genuinely cares about walking with people through some of the hardest, messiest, and most meaningful seasons of life. I work with men, women, and couples who are navigating things like anxiety, marriage struggles, separation or divorce, stepfamily dynamics, boundary setting, co-parenting, self-worth, and major life transitions. If it feels heavy or overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone. I earned my master’s in professional counseling from Georgia State in 2005, but my real education has come from sitting across from people who are just trying to find peace, clarity, and hope—and from living it myself. I also offer virtual counseling through the Counseling Compact, allowing me to work with clients in Georgia, Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Ohio. If you've relocated or live in one of these states, we can continue working together through secure virtual sessions.  On the personal side, I’m a mom of two teenagers and live in Forsyth County. After 13 years of marriage, I went through a painful and heartbreaking divorce. That season tested me deeply, but it also became a time when my faith in God grew stronger. His grace carried me through and still does. I’m now remarried, and while life isn’t perfect, I know the beauty of healing and new beginnings.  

You’re smart, creative, and capable, but life still feels harder than it should. Maybe your mind is always going, rest feels impossible, or you’re constantly juggling too many tabs open (in your head and your life). You might find yourself procrastinating, overcommitting, or cycling through bursts of energy and burnout. You’ve done your best to keep it all together, but it’s exhausting. I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’re always “on” but never quite catching up.  Many of my clients are creatives or deep thinkers who’ve always taken the unconventional path. Others have spent years masking their struggles, wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so draining. Whether you’ve named it or not, you might be carrying invisible weight that’s getting harder to bear alone. Therapy with me is a space to let your guard down. I approach our work with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that growth happens when we feel seen and supported as our full selves. Together, we’ll make sense of the patterns holding you back, reconnect you with your strengths, and build practical tools for more ease and alignment in your daily life.

Women and adolescents face unique challenges in our culture today. From adolescence to adulthood, each individual's journey is filled with both expected and unexpected changes. In spite of so many ways to connect with others via technology, many of us feel more isolated than ever before. And while social media opens many doors to opportunity, it can also bring unintended negative consequences such as the comparison factor, fear of missing out, and an unhealthy desire to manage our image. Though this can be unsettling and overwhelming, Victoria holds to the belief that there is always hope! She specializes in treating women and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, divorce recovery, and young-adult life and career transitions. She uses her training and experience to help individuals explore their beliefs about God's love, God’s forgiveness, and other important questions in a nonjudgmental environment. Victoria believes that by addressing the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self as a whole, clients are better equipped to see personal growth and lasting change as opposed to just a temporary fix. Her desire is to provide a safe place for you on your journey in whatever season of life you find yourself.

Michael’s experience working with adolescents and men from a variety of backgrounds has ignited his passion for helping them to overcome problems ranging from anger to trauma.

In that process, we find clarity, and through clarity we find peace, and through peace we find strength. Michael’s approach to counseling includes techniques from a number of disciplines and predominantly focuses on Cognitive Behavioral, Existential, Client-Centered, and Gestalt therapies.

She considers it a precious gift to be invited to walk alongside her clients on their journeys to rediscover joy and healing.

Your mind races with thoughts that begin with What if? Your anxiety gets in the way of your relationships, steals your joy, and limits your potential for happiness at home and at work. Worrying about things you cannot control has become a habit, which is hard to break because you believe that the worry prevents the thing from happening. You worry about your relationships, your family, your kids, and your work. Worry turns to guilt about not doing enough and not being enough. You long to quiet the inner critic, let go of the anxiety, feel like you are enough, and live a more fully engaged and balanced life. Through our collaborative efforts, you will learn the skills you need to conquer your worries and unwanted negative, anxious thoughts, communicate your needs effectively, and overcome feelings of guilt and self-doubt. We will work together to help you enjoy your life and relationships again, live fully in the present, and look forward to your future. As a licensed psychologist for over 15 years, I utilize research-supported interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using a positive psychology approach, we will identify your strengths and uncover ones you may not even recognize. When nurtured and channeled in the best way, these strengths will help you cope with the past, conquer current fears, and overcome future obstacles on your path. My job is to give you the tools you need to be your own therapist. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered a best practice in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
