Treatment methods
Supportive
My passion is helping individuals access the quality mental health care they deserve. With over 25 years of experience in nursing and mental health, I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. As a licensed psychiatric provider in Georgia, I take a personalized, collaborative approach to care, creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard, valued, and empowered on their journey toward healing and recovery.
Motivational Interviewing
Using Motivational Interviewing (MI), an evidence-based, patient-centered approach, I help individuals strengthen their motivation for change and build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals. MI allows patients to explore and resolve ambivalence, gain clarity around their values, and make informed decisions about their mental health and well-being. Through a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, I empower individuals to recognize their strengths, overcome barriers, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Faith-based therapy
Using faith-based therapy, I integrate spiritual beliefs and values into the counseling process to support emotional healing, personal growth, and resilience. This approach provides a space for individuals to explore life's challenges through the lens of their faith while addressing mental health concerns. In a compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment, I help patients draw upon their spiritual strengths, deepen their sense of purpose, and develop practical strategies for lasting well-being.
