Finding the right therapist can be difficult at times, especially online where the options seem endless. I commend you for taking the first step in finding someone. If you're looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to, genuinely warm, and understanding, then you're in the right place. My mission is to help you alleviate emotional pain and find real solutions for your problems and issues. I am passionate about helping my clients find the healing and happiness that they seek. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in individual therapy for adults. My career with mental health services started after receiving a master's degree in counseling psychology from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, crisis intervention, hospital emergency rooms, nursing homes, correctional facilities, structured outpatient programs, and large non-profits. My experience also includes clinical and administrative supervision of mental health professionals. I have helped my clients overcome issues and problems related to eating disorders, trauma, drug addiction, depression, anxiety/panic, divorce, work-related difficulties, family issues, and relationship conflict.

Using a holistic, client-centered and collaborative approach, I will support you as we work through the difficulties and suffering that live brings.
