Congratulations on prioritizing your mental health! This step has the potential to greatly improve your life and the lives of those that you love. Good day! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in the state of Georgia. I received my Masters from Western New Mexico University and have practiced for 6 years. My practice has a client-centered-approach where I seek to learn about who you are and what is important to your happiness. It could be that your potential is being burdened by messages you internalized in your childhood. Or you may experience difficulty with setting healthy boundaries that keep yourself and others safe. You are only a few sessions away from seeing yourself and understanding yourself in ways that you had not before. The investment that you make in you today is going to shape a better you tomorrow.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I always like to ask my clients this important question, "If you could go to sleep and wake up tomorrow and your issue was resolved, how would life be different?" We call this, the miracle question. I like it because it challenges the client to be vulnerable and hopeful in expressing how their lives could improve if their main concerns are addressed. It allows me to better understand their perspective of their circumstances. It also gives me an idea of the type of solutions that the client may want to focus on. More than that, clients can expect kindness, warmth and empathy in all sessions. I may also ask for brief feedback about their experience. If we seem to be a good fit, they can expect me to schedule their next session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the mental health field for 6 years, I have strengthened my ability to actively listen, demonstrate empathy and co-create promising treatment plans that will help you live the life of your dreams.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual as they present themselves. I have used this in my practice with clients who were experiencing embarrassing circumstances. I used active listening, summarizing, and empathy to relate to the client and to communicate that they were heard, understood, and positively regarded.
Christian Counseling
It is my honor to assist God's people in navigating their faith and the unfortunate woes of life. Concepts like death, violence, and betrayal can be troubling in light of scriptures concerning eternal life, peace, and forgiveness. Oftentimes, clients desire wise counsel who can empathize with their humanity and encourage them to have the hope that is offered in the scriptures.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
People love CBT because we often don't think about - what we're thinking about. Yet, thinking drives a lot of our moods and behaviors. If you can change the way that you think, you can change your life.
Sex Therapy
Christians who are experiencing stress due to navigating their faith and same-sex attraction are offered a safe and judgement free space to explore and express. This is NOT conversion therapy. Through a therapeutic approach called Sexual Identity Therapy (SIT) , we will explore your spiritual beliefs and the impact they have had on your sexuality. We'll examine sexual-identity related milestones and how they've been affected by your spirituality. All this to help you decrease the tension of being both a sexual and spiritual being, that you may live in a way that is authentically true to your values and beliefs.
