I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate the complexities of mental health, chronic illness, trauma, and aging. Since beginning my clinical journey in 2012, I've worked in both medical and therapeutic settings, supporting individuals living with serious mental illness and those in long-term care facilities. With licenses in Georgia, Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern Mississippi, I bring a compassionate, culturally informed, and evidence-based approach to care. I have experience in helping people cope with trauma, depression, and schizophrenia. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. Whether you're seeking clarity, stability, or healing, I’m here to walk alongside you at your pace.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, and then I will complete an assessment and discuss the specific challenges you're facing. I will obtain your goals for therapy and we will collaborate to identify a plan to help meet your goals and specific needs. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is meeting you where you are with a non-judgmental attitude. Engaging others has always been my biggest strength. Most of my clients have told me that I'm easy to talk to and that they don't feel judged.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in supporting adults facing complex emotional, medical, and life challenges. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and clinical expertise—meeting each person exactly where they are. I help older adults, veterans, trauma survivors, and individuals living with chronic illnesses navigate life with dignity, strength, and purpose. Whether you're managing serious mental illness, caregiving for a loved one, or processing long-standing trauma, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT- is used to help clients identify cognitive distortions (distorted beliefs, thoughts) that contribute to negative mood. CBT helps to adjust cognitive assumptions e.g. beliefs, expectations, and meaning attached to events). CBT helps enhance perceptual skills, improve decision-making, and improve behaviors (communicating, conflict resolution, and proactively presenting self). CBT is utilized in my practice by helping clients explore their core beliefs ( how they see themselves and the world around them) and identify their common cognitive distortions (thinking errors) that lead to feeling inadequate and replace those cognitive distortions with adaptive coping strategies to counter negative thoughts and feelings and in turn improve their perception of themselves
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I utilize ACT to help clients become more psychologically flexible by focusing on mindfulness, acceptance, and alignment with their values.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy is used in my practice to focus on improving relational patterns, processing grief, and navigating life transitions to reduce emotional distress.
