I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues. I use a compassionate, client-centered approach, integrating evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and CFT, tailored to each client's unique needs. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and build the tools to thrive.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where we’ll begin by discussing your current challenges, goals, and any concerns you have. We'll explore your background, including past experiences, and establish a clear understanding of what brought you to therapy. This session is about getting to know you, ensuring you feel comfortable, and setting the foundation for our work together. We’ll also begin identifying some initial steps toward addressing your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my deep empathy, ability to create a safe and supportive environment, and skill in integrating diverse therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. I excel in helping clients feel understood and empowered while providing practical, evidence-based strategies to address complex emotions and life challenges. My flexibility in combining modalities like CBT, DBT, CFT, and narrative therapy ensures that I meet clients where they are and support them in achieving meaningful progress.

Culturally sensitive therapy by acknowledging and incorporating clients' cultural backgrounds, values, and experiences into the therapeutic process. You adapt your approach to respect and understand each client's unique cultural identity, ensuring that their personal, social, and cultural contexts are considered in addressing mental health concerns and fostering a supportive, inclusive environment.
Narrative
Narrative therapy helps clients reframe and reshape the stories they tell about their lives. By externalizing problems and focusing on their strengths and values, you empower clients to take control of their narratives, separating themselves from issues and creating new, more empowering stories that support healing and personal growth.
