I understand how intimidating it is to seek support and I do my best to show up with my personality so that my clients feel safe and comfortable in the therapy space. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Atlanta, Georgia. I received my Masters from Georgia State University and have been practicing for the last 9 years. I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) by training which means I have a specialty working with adults with disabilities. My goal is to help people develop into healthy and whole individuals while utilizing evidenced-based practices to assist clients with their individualized goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we’ll get to know each other a bit and then talk about goals for therapy. I spend the bulk of the first session listening to understand what challenges my clients are facing and I will always leave room for my clients to ask questions about my experiences and approach.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach to therapy is to highlight clients’ individual strengths while guiding them to a place of healing and introspection. Humor and pragmatism permeate my approach and allow me the ability to connect with my clients on a level where healing can take place. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, outpatient and those in-between giving me a variety of experiences and exposure to vast community resources. I enjoy incorporating new techniques and thinking outside of the box.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adults with disabilities, major depressive disorder, anxiety, autism and other mental health diagnoses. My specialty is helping those experiencing adjustments in life such as a new baby, a new job, a new relationship or an acquired disability. My clients are typically an active participant in therapy and motivated towards change. They often feel stuck or overwhelmed with where to start.
