Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia and Utah. I received my Masters from the University of Utah and have been practicing for 15 years. I help adults from all walks of life struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, and addiction to be the best versions of themselves. I have expertise in Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive based therapies to empower personal growth and healing.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Specialization Areas: Trauma recovery, addiction, anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, relationship challenges, personal growth, self-discovery, men's issues, emotional regulation, caregiver burnout, healing from past experiences, and anger management.

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

I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and empowering therapeutic environment that honors each client's unique journey of healing and personal growth. My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and collaborative care. My non-judgmental approach means creating a sanctuary where clients can explore their thoughts, and feelings without judgement.
