Are you hurting, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, scared, or lost? It can be hard to see sometimes, but you have what it takes to make powerful changes, to create your own pathway to health and well-being. Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment to change, relationship problems, or other issues, we can work toward resolution and a greater sense of peace. I have been a licensed counselor for more than twenty years and have helped clients of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances. I have an eclectic and nonjudgmental approach and my goal is to unconditionally support you throughout this process. You are not here by mistake. There is no better time to begin taking steps to improve your life situation. I am licensed in Georgia and Florida and my counseling practice is entirely online (video and phone). My hours are Monday through Friday, with first appointments starting at 9 AM and last appointments at 5 PM. I use the first session to get to know you better, and from there we can address your issues together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session focuses on the intake and gaining an understanding of the issues that have brought you to counseling. Subsequent sessions involve discussion and processing, as well as the use of occasional brief inventories and resources. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and an effective way of gaining insights and making meaningful life changes.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and use brief inventories that provide feedback regarding certain issues, such as anxiety, depression, career and life direction, etc.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my strengths include the ability to actively listen with empathy and unconditional acceptance, provide a balance between the cognitive and emotional realms, and maintain a positive and motivational outlook.
