New clients continue care with this provider
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I help adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, career struggles, OCD, and ADHD. My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your unique needs are respected. I value the trust you place in me as your therapist—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Reaching out for help takes courage, and I’m proud of you for taking that first step.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and building a foundation of trust. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin creating a plan that supports your growth and healing. It’s a relaxed and collaborative process—you're not in it alone.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is meeting people exactly where they are—with no pressure and no judgment. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, and I use warmth, humor, and authenticity to create a supportive environment. I believe laughter can be healing, and I encourage clients to find moments of joy, even during challenging times.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults from all walks of life who are ready to explore change, gain clarity, and feel more in control of their lives. While I don’t currently work with children or adolescents, I welcome clients facing a wide range of challenges and goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy is the practice of being fully aware of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings in the present moment. In my work with clients, I use mindfulness to help them stay grounded in the now while making peace with the past. It’s an open, honest, and nonjudgmental approach that can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.
Couples Counseling
It is important that both individuals feel validated when seeking help with relationships issues. I do my best to be an external observer providing feedback in a nonjudgmental and open minded way. Couples therapy will focus on a strengths based prospective while working to heal and let go of past hurts.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I regularly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. With CBT, we work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more balanced, realistic ways of thinking. Over time, this approach can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase confidence. I tailor CBT to each person’s needs—whether you're managing everyday stress or navigating more persistent struggles like OCD, ADHD, or relationship challenges. It's a practical, empowering approach that helps you take meaningful steps toward change.
Grief Therapy
Grief looks different for everyone, and there’s no “right” way to move through it. In our work together, I provide a compassionate space where you can process loss at your own pace—whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, a life transition, or even a version of yourself you’ve had to let go. Grief counseling allows us to honor your experience while gently helping you find meaning, healing, and a way forward that feels authentic to you.
