Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) that is based in the Atlanta area. I have been practicing in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I truly love helping people of all ages reach their fullest potential. Therefore, I absolutely love what I do.
I work hard at empowering them with mental tenacity through varied strategies and techniques to help them achieve their desired mental health/life goal.
I believe in allowing my clients conduct their path to whatever mental health goal they are trying to accomplish. I simply utilize varied treatment modalities, strategies, and interventions, to help them get there.
First session
During out first session, we will becoming acquainted with each other, discuss the issues/concerns that you are presenting with and the outcome that you desire to have. I will then provide you with my professional opinion regarding how we will work together to help you reach your desired goal.

I work hard at empowering them with mental tenacity through varied strategies and techniques to help them achieve their desired mental health/life goal.
Ideal clients
I love working with people who have a desire to make a change within their life, but may not have the mental tenacity or know how to reach their desired goal. I work with you get there. The only thing I ask is that you are honest about what you are truly trying to change in your life. We will then work as a team to help you get there.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been a clinician for over 20 years. I find that "talk-therapy" can be very helpful in enabling clients to get to the root of their presenting issues. I would then assist you with coming up innovative interventions that will help you reach your therapeutic goals.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I have utilized this treatment modality when their is a desire to have a short amount of time to deal with the presenting issues.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate some aspects of this treatment modality into some of my therapeutic sessions, especially for homework, because I have found that it is very beneficial for the clients
