LMFT, 13 years of experience
Hi! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia with 13 years of experience. I earned my master’s degree from Northcentral University and specialize in helping families and couples navigate adjustment challenges, improve communication, and reduce conflict to build healthier relationships. I am so glad you’ve taken the first step on your therapeutic journey and am here to support you in creating meaningful change and achieving your goals. Together, we’ll work toward building stronger connections and a greater sense of emotional well-being.
n our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions and discuss the concerns or challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll assess your needs and develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) treatment goals to guide our work in future sessions. This session also provides an opportunity for you to share your story, express your expectations, and for me to ensure our approach aligns with your desired outcomes.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients, my empathetic and collaborative approach, and my dedication to tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs. I focus on helping clients build on their strengths to achieve meaningful and lasting growth. Additionally, I bring a compassionate and solution-oriented mindset, ensuring clients feel supported and empowered throughout their journey.
I am best positioned to serve individuals, couples, and families seeking support with relationship challenges, communication issues, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I also specialize in working with women of color, helping them navigate unique stressors, build resilience, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. My goal is to empower clients to achieve personal growth, improve emotional well-being, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify and build on their strengths, focusing on practical solutions and achievable goals rather than dwelling on problems. Together, we explore what’s already working in your life, envision your desired future, and create actionable steps to get there. This approach is collaborative, empowering, and forward-thinking, tailored to help you make meaningful progress in a short amount of time.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples to help them deepen their emotional connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust. By exploring and reshaping negative interaction patterns, I guide couples in creating a secure bond and fostering a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
