About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia. I am also a Florida Out of State Telehealth Approved Provider (for self pay clients). I received my Masters from Mercer University School of Medicine. I specialize in working with clients struggling with Imposter syndrome, Self worth/Esteem, Anxiety, Trauma, Life transitions, as well as, premarital and relational challenges on their healing journey toward holistic alignment.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Dependent on the identified challenges, you should also look forward to completing specified assessments, which help in fully understanding your narrative, symptoms, and treatment needs. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

When working with clients I am to collaborate with clients on their goals and enjoy receiving feedback on what works best for you, which helps me to tailor interventions and sessions to meet your unique needs. I utilize varying strategies, some of which are creative, to aid in the exploration of the patterns and cycles impeding on your self growth. I hope for my clients to feel safe, comfortable in session so they can have room for their authentic selves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients who are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about the ways they can show up in the world and be heard, seen, and understood. I love working with clients who are open to exploring the "why" behind their current challenges and who are ready to begin the journey of awareness, healing, and growth.

My treatment methods

Narrative

This model is one of the primary ones I utilize to aid in exploring the root of the challenges experienced that deeply impact a client's lived experiences. Through this process we "re-author" or work toward healing your personal narrative to invite healthier patterns/cycles.

Attachment-based

Utilizing attachment theory and providing psychoeducation to examine and process the influences of attachment ruptures in your relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This method aims to reduce symptoms through exploring the connections of emotions, behaviors, and response patterns that keep unhealthy cycles at play. Understanding these components aid in reducing reactivity, anxiousness, and more!

Couples Counseling

Aimed to assist couples (premarital/dating and married) in increasing effective and healthy communication skills, processing barriers in the relationship, and working toward emotionally aligned and healthier connections.

Experiential Therapy

This method aids in clients ability to better identify emotions, emotionally regulate, and effectively understand relational and life stressors through effective coping strategies and interventions.

I can’t thank you enough for your support. This has been the best outlet I’ve had in a long time. Never thought I would ever see light at the end of the tunnel thank you for allowing me to be me.
