LPC, 10 years of experience
Hi! I'm a licensed mental health clinician (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Master's from South University in 2016, and have been practicing since. Whether life's challenges seem overwhelming, or you desire self-improvement and exploration, I can help you achieve your goals. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, trauma, mood instability, grief, and older adults. I believe in the beauty of mental wellness! I know life is hard. I appreciate your willingness to reach out for help and have hope for a better tomorrow.
In our first session we will talk about what led you to seek therapy now, what your day-to-day support system looks like, and the goals you hope to achieve through our therapy sessions. I use a client-centered approach, and accept you as you are now. Viktor E. Frankl states "The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.” I believe in implementing steps to build habits to reach a more enjoyable daily experience. In our first session we'll discuss a plan to reach your goals.
My greatest strengths as a mental health provider is a deep desire to help others, for equality, and to see your happiness level improve. I've spent the past 8 years in acute settings, of which I had the privilege to work with many patients and treatment methods. Mental health counseling is my second career. I spent 10 years in magazine publishing, which also gave me a lot of exposure to people from different walks of life. When I'm not seeing clients, you can find me hiking, scuba diving, gardening, doing yoga, or volunteering with our local youth orchestra. Coming from different backgrounds helps me understand the whole you. I will be compassionate as I assess your needs, and include you in decisions of how we proceed in treatment strategies.
It takes courage to meet someone new and discuss your personal issues. Just the fact that you are searching for help lets me know you have a desire to change. I can help you realize blocks that hold you back - whether unconscious, from childhood, or undeniably in your face - and find ways to make the challenges you face manageable and sometimes turn those challenges into a building block for strength.

Very open and easy to talk to. I feel very hopeful for learning strategies to help me.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful or false thoughts and ideas that influence your daily relationships, activities, and ultimately your life goals. By challenging thoughts that are not useful to your growth, emotional health, and success, you can achieve a higher level of mental wellness and calm in daily activities. Your individuality is important to me!
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy offers wonderful tools to help your mind slow down when it feels frantic. I use the tools of the workbook and principles to address mood instability, grief, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, depression, and anger.
You are the reason I am here, and identifying your strengths and building a positive narrative is rewarding. I use a client-centered approach that focuses tailors your therapy specifically around your needs.
