Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Masters from Thomas University in south GA. I have a dual Masters degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. Collectively, I have over 10 years of experience in counseling. I work with adults (18+). I enjoy both mental health counseling and vocational rehabilitation counseling. I aim to help clients become the best versions of themselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been married for over 38 years. I'm a mother of adult children and a grandmother. I have over a decade of combined experience as a case manager and a counselor. I am able to provide assistance with career transitions, analyzing vocational/transferrable skills, job accommodations in addition to mental health counseling.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with high school seniors who are transitioning to college, couples who are looking for pre-marital counseling, married couples and single adults 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 their careers, and/or relationships.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
When using CBT during therapy, I will work with you to identify and examine your core beliefs and thought patterns, explore their origins and modify those that are faulty. Once these faulty patterns have been identified, I will use therapeutic techniques to assist you in restructuring your thinking and thus, change unhealthy behaviors.
Christian Counseling
As a Christian, I will integrate scripture into the therapy process to promote healing. I use a combination of faith-based and psychotherapeutic interventions to help you copy and resolve life's challenges.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize this treatment method when working with EAP referred clients. This is a short term goal-focused approach using positive psychology to facilitate change.
