About Travis

Abstract Line Pattern

Therapy that sees the whole you

I help people carry less and live more. My work centers on safety, clarity, and steady progress.

 

Sessions feel human and focused, with tools you can use between appointments.

Who I work with

Individuals, couples, and families across Atlanta and across Georgia through secure telehealth. Teens, college students, working professionals, caregivers, and elders who want support that respects identity, culture, and lived experience.

​

What guides my work

  • Dignity first. Every story deserves care and respect.

  • Clarity over confusion. Plain language, clear plans, measurable steps.

  • Culture aware. Context matters. I pay attention to it.

  • Steady momentum. Each session moves something forward.

  • Real-world skills. Tools that help on tough days, not only on good ones.

​

How I work

We begin with a conversation about what you want to feel and what needs to change. From there we map a plan and use evidence-based methods that fit your goals.

 

Methods I draw from:

 

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Trauma-focused approaches

  • Mindfulness-based strategies

  • Solution-focused and strengths-based work

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Acceptance and Commitment strategies

  • Family and relationship systems work
