I am Dr. Sally, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in both Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. With a passion for helping others, I also serve as a Clinical Supervisor and a Professor in Counseling, where I strive to inspire the next generation of mental health professionals. My academic journey culminated in a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, complemented by a specialized focus on trauma work, an area close to my heart. Before establishing my private practice, I gained valuable experience as a community-based and addiction counselor, working directly with individuals facing significant challenges. This background has deepened my commitment to fostering resilience and healing in my clients. Moreover, I actively engage in mentoring and training aspiring mental health counselors, sharing my knowledge and expertise to empower them in their professional journeys. Through these endeavors, I aim to make a meaningful impact on both individuals and the mental health field as a whole.

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

Recognizing that the therapeutic relationship plays a crucial role in achieving positive outcomes, our first session will involve exploring your current challenges and past experiences in depth. This conversation will allow us to collaboratively create a tailored plan that we can build upon in our future sessions.

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

I wholeheartedly believe that effective counseling flourishes within the framework of a trusting and collaborative relationship, where you truly feel heard and understood. If you find yourself feeling stuck, paralyzed, or engulfed by overwhelming emotional pain, we will embark on a transformative journey together, taking it step-by-step to heal, restore, and reclaim the vibrant life you deserve. Throughout this process, you will discover and harness your intrinsic strengths and unique skills, allowing you to confront and process the trauma that may have held you captive. We will work on cultivating assertiveness, establishing healthy boundaries, and liberating you from the burdens of guilt and shame imposed by others, empowering you to forge ahead with renewed self-confidence and a sense of purpose. As you strive for personal growth, we will root your healing in genuine hope, a hope that inspires profound, real change and enables you to embrace a healthier, more abundant life. Together, we'll create a path toward a future filled with promise and fulfillment, unlocking the potential that resides within you.

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

I find great fulfillment in working with young professionals who are navigating the initial stages of their careers, as well as with retirees who are embarking on new life transitions. I recognize that reaching out for support requires considerable courage, which is why I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. This connection is essential for fostering personal growth and development, helping my clients to explore their challenges, set meaningful goals, and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment in their lives.
