About me

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialization in Trauma. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta, GA. My Bachelor in Human Services with a focus in Case Managment from Kennesaw State University. I would be extremely honored if you would allow me to accompany you on this journey called life. On this journey, you've likely encountered hills, valleys, rays of sunshine and stormy days. In working with me, you can expect to confront, engage and conquer your worst fears. Do not be dismayed; you won't be doing this on your own. I'll be right by your side - every step of the way!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session you can expect there to be some information gathering and just getting to know one another. The more information you provide by completing the forms provided, the less questioning will occur during the initial meeting. You will be invited to ask any questions you have of me to help you decide if I am the right fit for you. It should be noted that I see clients 13 years old and older.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with those who've experienced trauma, severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and personality disorders), I am uniquely positioned to listen to (and remember) your entire story. You see, I believe that people do make sense if you understand their story.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m rewarded by working with those who struggle with depression, anxiety related to a variety of life's challenges: life-changing diagnoses, gender issues, spiritual challenges. Yes, spiritual challenges! Being a 'preacher’s kid' (aka PK), I understand the inner-conflict, the war-within, that even seeking out professional help can create. But alas, you need not fear, nor do you have to suffer the pains of this war any longer. Let me help.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My theoretical approach is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is the base that Dialectical Behavioral, Acceptance and Committment Therapy and several others have developed from. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is also an approach that is utilized for very specific, resistant issues.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

A wide range of populations such as Personality Disorders, Depression, Trauma can benefit from DBT, primarily because it teaches us the art of mindfulness and being able to better manage distressing situations with emotion regulation. And in the world we live in now, who wouldn't benefit from interpersonal effectiveness? This modality has a huge application; I've seen a number of clients utilize the skills and don't seem so overwhelmed when life throws its curve balls.

She is the absolute best. Very thankful to have her as a resource in navigating my life. She is genuine, and most importantly, skilled and professional at what she does. I recommend her to any and all who desire an authentic and relatable therapist.

Honestly I was super nervous before our meeting even when the meeting started I was still nervous she was very welcoming and sweet. She made me feel safe and heard by the end of our session. I’m really glad I booked with her.
