Hi! I am a licensed therapist in the state of Georgia and have been in practice for over 5 years. As a therapist passionate about supporting women, I understand the unique challenges you face in juggling a demanding career and family responsibilities. My approach is rooted in empathy and cultural sensitivity, providing a safe space for you to share your story without judgment. Together, we will explore the root causes of your struggles and develop personalized strategies that prioritize your well-being. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your peace, cultivate self-care, and find balance in your life, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. Let’s work together to embrace your journey toward healing and strength.
In our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe and respected. We’ll begin by getting to know each other, and I’ll invite you to share your story and what brings you to therapy. I want you to know that I’m here to listen attentively and validate your feelings and experiences—you're not alone in this journey. We’ll discuss your goals for therapy and any specific challenges you’d like to address. I’m also interested in learning about your background, including the cultural influences and personal values that shape your life, so I can ensure our work is relevant and meaningful for you. Together, we’ll set the foundation for a trusting therapeutic relationship, emphasizing that this is your space to be open and authentic. By the end of our session, I hope you’ll feel a sense of empowerment and clarity about the support I can offer as we embark on this journey toward healing and growth together.
My biggest strength is relationship-building and listening. I like to take time to get to know you, establish rapport and trust and get a clear understanding of what brought you to therapy. I want to ensure that you feel valued and can take the steps to be heard and thrive in life.
I am best positioned to serve resilient women who consistently rise to the occasion, often placing the needs of their families, careers, and communities above their own. These individuals are high achievers, navigating the complexities of life with grace, yet they frequently experience the heavy weight of societal expectations. Many of them have cultivated a strong exterior, feeling compelled to embody strength and resilience, while internally grappling with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional fatigue. They may struggle with the misconception that seeking support is a sign of weakness, leading them to suppress their own needs. My focus is on creating a nurturing space where these women can explore their emotions, confront the pressures they face, and develop effective coping strategies, allowing them to embrace their vulnerability and achieve a healthier sense of balance in their lives.

I utilize a person-centered approach by creating a warm, empathetic environment that empowers those with trauma, anxiety and depression to express their feelings and experiences, helping them to find their own paths toward healing and growth.
In my work with children and teenagers experiencing anxiety and depression, I use play therapy as a creative and engaging way to help them communicate their emotions and experiences, allowing them to process difficulties in a safe and supportive environment.
In child-parent psychotherapy, I work collaboratively with both the child and their parent to strengthen their relationship, promote secure attachment, and address challenges in a supportive environment, fostering healing and resilience.
In dialectical psychotherapy, I help clients navigate the balance between acceptance and change by teaching them skills to enhance emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, enabling them to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships.
