I am excited you are here! I am a queer Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who has 10+ years of experience. I specialize in working with clients who looking to process trauma and identify areas they want to set boundaries for healthier relationships. I have considerable experience in working with those with complex post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms such as healthcare workers, sexual assault survivors, and family trauma. I love working with folks who want to move from a place of surviving to thriving. Are you ready for the next step?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I use humor, sarcasm, and wit to express my authentic self to give you space and permission to do the same. Also, I am a rule follower so please know we will be reviewing the consent forms to ensure you're properly informed, collect history of your life and start formulating a direction you would like to head in to begin to change your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel my authenticity, humility, and respect for your human-ness are my greatest strengths. I have a deep love for humanity and feel it shows in my work.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I find I am most successful in working with clients who are in a life transition and want to gain a better understanding of themselves to make changes in their lives. My client's benefit from my experience in working in many different levels of care as I have developed a comprehensive library of therapeutic techniques to meet them where they are to help them get where they want to go.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR (eye-movement reprocessing and desensitization) is a type of trauma treatment that doesn’t require reliving in detail the traumatic events. Instead, we focus on changing the emotions, thoughts or behaviors that result from a distressing experience via bilateral stimulation to allow your brain to resume a natural healing process.
Humanistic
At my core as a clinician, I believe you are capable and the expert of yourself. Working together, we will build a safe space to process what needs attention and direction to change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives.
