I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of making a meaningful impact in our communities, schools, and families. My passion for helping others led me to earn a bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration from Macon State College and a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am committed to ongoing professional growth and have pursued several certifications and affiliations in my field. My true calling is empowering individuals to become self-aware, identify, and heal from generational challenges. I understand the unique struggles people face in various communities and am deeply dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space for healing and personal growth.

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

In our first session, you can expect a comfortable and welcoming environment where we’ll take the time to get to know each other. I’ll listen closely to your concerns and goals, and together, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your history, what you’d like to achieve, and begin to identify ways I can support you on your journey. It’s all about building trust, so you’ll leave feeling understood and clear about how we can move forward together.

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

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. With over a decade of experience, I’ve honed my skills in building strong, trusting relationships, which I see as the foundation of effective therapy. I’m also adaptable, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and goals, while always offering support and encouragement as they navigate their journey. My commitment to ongoing professional growth ensures I’m always bringing fresh perspectives and effective strategies to my work.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve young adults and adults who struggle with anxiety and depression, as well as those who may not necessarily face major mental health issues but could benefit from some support and guidance. My focus is on providing a safe and encouraging space for individuals who need a boost of confidence, helping them navigate life's challenges with a sense of empowerment and self-compassion.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With 12 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ve had the privilege of helping many clients work through challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe in creating a collaborative and supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and work on practical strategies to shift them, building healthier perspectives and coping skills. My goal is to empower clients with the tools they need to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

With 12 years of experience using Mindfulness-Based Therapy, I’ve had the opportunity to guide clients through challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. I focus on helping individuals develop a deeper awareness of their thoughts and emotions, allowing them to respond with greater clarity and compassion. Through mindfulness techniques, such as breathing exercises and body scans, clients learn to stay grounded in the present moment, reducing overwhelm and building resilience. My approach is collaborative and supportive, empowering clients to embrace a more balanced and peaceful way of being.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

With 12 years of experience using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I work with clients to quickly identify their strengths and resources to overcome challenges like anxiety, stress, and relationship issues. I focus on what’s working well and help clients set clear, achievable goals for the future. Together, we create practical solutions, building on small successes to make meaningful, positive changes. My approach is empowering and client-centered, ensuring a supportive space where clients feel motivated and hopeful about their progress.
