I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. I attended the University of Georgia for my Masters degree in Social Work. I have been practicing for 11 years. My background is working in healthcare settings with individuals with chronic illnesses and their families. I am ready to help those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and the ripple effects of complex medical conditions. I have worked alongside those experiencing a cancer diagnosis for nearly a decade. I have an expertise in working with the individual experiencing a chronic illness and their loved ones.
In our first session we will get to know each other and then start to identify the challenges bringing you to therapy. We will work on setting goals to create a tailored plan for us to work together in subsequent meetings.
I have worked alongside individuals and families who have experienced significant health challenges throughout my career. I will work with clients to create roadmaps leading to measurable progress to reduce distress and build resilience.
