Hello :) I am glad you are here! I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Georgia. I earned my Masters from Mercer University, Specialist from UWG and am currently working toward my PhD at UGA. As a counselor, I focus on helping individuals address personal, emotional, relational, and psychological concerns. My passion is supporting people through their healing journey to ultimately become the best versions of themselves.
In the first counseling session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where you can begin your therapeutic journey with confidence and comfort. The first counseling session with me will be focused on establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, gaining a comprehensive understanding of your needs and goals, and collaboratively setting the stage for a productive and empowering therapeutic journey. You can expect to feel heard, validated, and supported as you take your first steps towards healing and positive change.
Empower, empower, EMPOWER! My greatest strength as a counselor is empowering my clients throughout the therapeutic process so they can make meaningful changes to enhance their lives.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process, open to self-exploration, and seeking support in navigating life's challenges. My approach is well-suited for individuals who are open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and nonjudgmental space.
By using an integrative therapeutic approach, I draw from various theoretical orientations and techniques to create a tailored approach for each client. I prioritize understanding each client's unique experiences, values, and goals, which informs the integration of treatment methods. Integrative treatment allows me to take a holistic view of clients, considering their emotional, cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and environmental dimensions. By addressing these interconnected aspects of life, we can promote comprehensive healing and growth. Therapy is a collaborative journey between myself and the client, where they are actively involved in setting treatment goals, exploring insights, and practicing new skills. I encourage open communication and feedback to ensure that the therapeutic process remains client-centered and empowering.
