About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in Georgia. I received my master’s from Troy University and have been practicing for 5 years. I work with adults who struggle with trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. I am a collaborative therapist working to assist clients dig deep to find the tools they need to feel safe and to take back control of their lives.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then address specific challenges you are facing. There will be a good number of questions to help me gain insight and create a tailored plan for us to work through throughout this journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having been in the military for 14 years and the counseling field for the last 5 years have cultivated my love for others and non-judgmental atmosphere that is needed to guide you through this journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about working with adults who are committed to the work. My clients often feel stuck, unsafe, or overwhelmed by their thoughts and feelings. My clients have what they need within them but need guidance accessing and implementing those tools so that they can feel safe and in control of their lives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT teaches my clients to use coping skills for dealing with different problems. Focusing on how their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect their feelings and actions.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps guide and teach my clients to accept their thoughts and feelings while committing to living according to your values.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Client centered therapy, or person centered therapy, is an approach to talk therapy that require my clients to actively take the reins during each therapy session, while I act as a guide or a source of support for the client.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

This approach is goal-focused incorporating positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather then focusing on the problem..

She is very relatable and talks in a way that helps you understand what she means. Felt very comfortable explaining my situation and I felt heard.

Ebony is great! I was really nervous about getting someone who would be more the solution to my problems rather than personable. Ebony is very personable. She knows how to connect and make you feel safe.
