Have you spent your life wondering if you’re “too much”? Too sensitive, too emotional, too intense, too unique or simply different from those around you? Perhaps you’ve learned to hide parts of yourself, question your instincts, or prioritize everyone else’s needs over your own. Over time, you may have lost sight of who you are beneath the expectations, responsibilities, and roles you’ve carried.
Lenzie helps women who have spent years adapting to everyone else’s expectations reconnect with who they truly are - those who are longing to reconnect with themselves. Many of her clients are navigating questions of identity, self-worth, body image, relationships, motherhood, career transitions, and life purpose. Some are beginning to wonder whether they may be neurodivergent or have ADHD and are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves through a lens of compassion rather than criticism.
Lenzie is passionate about helping women heal from trauma, whether it’s the impact of a recent experience, childhood wounds, complex trauma, or the effects of toxic and emotionally abusive relationships. With Lenzie you will explore how your past experiences may still be shaping the way you see yourself, connect with others, and move through the world today.
Located right off the Beltline in Inman Park, her office doubles as her art studio and is located inside of a recording studio. As a creative person herself, she understands both the joy and vulnerability that come with living a creative life. She knows what it’s like to feel disconnected from creativity, to question your voice or purpose, or to struggle balancing artistic expression with the demands of everyday life. Whether your artistic identity has been overshadowed by the demands of career and family life or you’ve lost touch with the parts of yourself that once felt most alive, she believes therapy can be a space to rediscover what matters to you and reclaim your authentic voice. 

Lenzie’s approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. She believes that healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore all parts of ourselves with curiosity and compassion. She integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, schema therapy and somatic approaches to help clients understand themselves more fully, process unresolved experiences, and reconnect with their inner wisdom. Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong” with you, I help you understand how your experiences have shaped you and support you in creating a more connected, authentic relationship with yourself. She often incorporates individualized creativity, imagination, and expressive exercises when they feel supportive to the therapeutic process. She believes creativity can be a powerful pathway to self-discovery, healing, and reclaiming parts of ourselves that may have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten.

You don’t have to keep shrinking yourself to fit into spaces that weren’t made for you. Therapy can be a place where all parts of you are welcome—and where you can begin to build a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
