Since earning my Master's in Social Work in 2016, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's challenges. My journey has taken me from child protective services and a mental health hospital in Colorado, to working with individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction, and serving as a school social worker across all grade levels. Now, in Georgia, I balance my private practice with working as a clinician at a crisis center, helping those in mental health emergencies. My passion lies in guiding teenagers, adolescents, and young adults through life's transitions—whether it's school, work, or relationships—and helping them find their path forward.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we’ll focus on getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your history, current concerns, and what you hope to get out of our work together. By the end of the session, we’ll start shaping a plan that feels clear, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.
I create a space where you feel truly seen, but I also gently challenge the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck. I use evidence-based methods like CBT to help you make real, lasting change, not just vent week to week. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling both understood and empowered, with practical tools they can actually use in everyday life.
I’m best positioned to support teens, young adults, and individuals navigating life transitions, identity struggles, anxiety, and burnout. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves, but they’re also ready to do the work. If you're looking for a therapist who will challenge unhelpful thinking patterns while helping you build real-life coping tools, emotional insight, and confidence, we might be a great fit.
I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and understand how those thoughts influence their emotions and behaviors. Together, we challenge negative thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives. I also teach coping skills and assign practical exercises to help clients build healthier habits and respond to life’s stressors more effectively.
