Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia. I have been working in the behavioral health field for 9 years but have 6 years of post-graduate (MSW) experience. I have worked with children, teens and adults in a variety of settings. Primarily, my work has been with adults of all ages experiencing issues with addiction and co-occurring disorders including anxiety, PTSD and mood disorders. I have also worked in the crisis setting during which I helped clients through some of their most vulnerable moments.

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

In our first session, we will introduce ourselves, discuss your most pressing issues and identify your goals for therapy. This will give you an opportunity to decide if I am the best fit for your needs.

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

Having worked in the behavioral health setting for the past 9 years, I will use a nonjudgmental approach to help you identify and change unhelpful thoughts, patterns and behaviors. My experiences working with trauma and PTSD will help me make connections between your past experiences to your present which will help you to develop a sense of self-compassion and understanding.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I will help you to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to unhelpful behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Using aspects of DBT, I will work with you to improve your ability to tolerate stress and to regulate your emotions rather than using unhelpful ways of coping.

Strength-Based

I will help you to identify your strengths, and we will use them as a foundation for your treatment goals.

Trauma Informed Care

I will help you to establish safety, empower you and work with you to reach your treatment goals.
