Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in helping clients manage life stressors positively and affirmatively. I have been licensed to practice since 2006 and hold licensure in Georgia, Virginia, and Montana. My areas of counseling expertise include depression, anxiety, workplace bullying, racialized trauma, life and family transitions, and substance use concerns. I use a cultural lens in counseling and have particular expertise in counseling BIPOC persons. Adults and teens are welcome in my practice.
In our first session, I will listen carefully to your concerns that led you to come to counseling. Together, we will explore what you believe successful counseling will look like for you in terms of initial goals and logistics such as frequency of meetings and preferred communication methods . Clients can expect a general roadmap of where counseling will go with the understanding that their goals an interest may evolve as counseling unfolds.
My greatest strength as a provider is my extensive experience working with clients in school, college, community, and correctional settings. I am patient, actively listen, and respect the strengths that clients bring to the counseling experience.
