I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician in Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. I have been practicing for more than 20 years using an integrated style of theories in counseling (CBT, Mindfulness, Trauma focused, Solution Focused, Narrative, and Family Systems Theory). I believe the intervention should match the client verses "one size fits all." I see adults, couples, and adolescents via telehealth.

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

The initial session focuses on me gaining a better understanding of the client's needs and experiences. I obtain family history, gather details of any symptoms, and assist clients in setting goals.

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

I enjoy pinpointing diagnostic information so I can better equip clients in meeting their goals. I am also an empathetic listener meeting clients where they are.

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness practices and interventions assist clients learning ways to regulate emotions. It teaches one to be in the present moment, reduce reactionary responses, and teaches healthy perspectives to respond to distress productively.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I assist clients in identifying the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. I work collaborative and compassionately with clients to help them form interventions in overcoming depression, anxiety, or self-esteem barriers.

Gottman method

My Master's degree is in Marriage & Family Therapy. Incorporating Gottman theories and interventions in couples counseling, is effective in helping clients build a stronger relationship and learning new communication skills.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution Focused strategies are useful in helping clients identify their goals and what steps are needed for them to obtain positive outcomes.
