I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Georgia. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. My compassionate and encouraging approach to therapy is founded on the belief that therapy should offer a safe space for introspection and self-discovery. Therapy is a collaborative effort that requires openness without judgment. It is a tool to empower oneself to realize the true power one already holds within. As a therapist, I have a down-to-earth, encouraging and direct style. I combine my education and experience to help my clients navigate their unique challenges and achieve their goals. Let's embark on this therapy journey together to overcome those internal battles holding you back!
During the first session, I will introduce myself to my clients. I will make certain to discuss standard procedures for scheduling appointments, confidentiality, and communicating between sessions. I will ask my clients lots of questions to learn a bit about their history as well as discover their goals for treatment.
My therapeutic approach draws on the fundamentals of CBT, DBT, IPI, MI and solution-focused therapy. I believe that treatment methodologies are not one size fits all, however, my warmth and empathy are shared with everyone.
I have experience treating individuals ages 18 and older. I treat clients battling depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. I have also helped individuals facing issues related to racial, ethnic and gender discrimination.
