I've been a licensed psychotherapist since 2009, working with teens (15 and up) and adults, including military service members and their families, community mental health clients, and people in crisis. I help with anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, couples issues, and teen concerns. My approach is flexible. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and family systems therapy, and I tailor our work to fit you. My sessions are relaxed and welcoming. I use humor and real-life examples, and when it will help you grow, I'll gently challenge you. As a parent who loves singing and sports, I bring my whole self into the room.

I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are ready to stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start building a healthier relationship with themselves. You may find yourself questioning your worth, losing yourself in relationships or friendships, struggling to trust your own decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you know no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore where those patterns began, strengthen your self-trust, and create lasting change rooted in emotional safety and self-respect. My approach integrates attachment-informed, trauma-focused, and evidence-based therapy with practical tools that support meaningful change beyond our sessions. I believe healing involves the whole person, recognizing the impact of relationships, trauma, nervous system regulation, physical health, and life transitions on emotional wellbeing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, I also support clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, sexual trauma, religious shame, relationship transitions, and recovery from intimate partner violence.

Growing up a child of two Marines, talk therapy was not a process I discussed or even knew about other than the random Freudian Psychotherapy reference in movies or on television. Growing up with the male stereotype that men have no emotions or are unbothered by them, I always felt like the odd person out, I had them and typically felt controlled by them. Through self explorations in college and talking with a variety of mentors about direction in life, i was urged to explore counseling. In the process of working on my self, I found what I felt is a calling and a way to give back.

I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health, and I have been in private practice for the last 5. I have spent the majority of my counseling career in community mental health, which has given me the skills to meet people where they are at, and to be able to work with a diverse client population. I have extensive training in the treatment of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, anxiety disorders, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma/PTSD. I'm certified in EMDR, CBT, and integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities when working with clients. I grew up in the northeast, in a small town in rural Vermont. My family decided to relocate to southeast Georgia in 2023, and since then I have been providing telehealth therapy to clients throughout Georgia and Florida. I enjoy spending free time with my two children, my husband, and close friends and family. I enjoy being active and being outdoors as much as possible.

I provide structure when it’s helpful, offer evidence‑based strategies tailored to your needs, and create room for reflection, insight, and emotional clarity.

We are disconnected - from each other, from the world, and from ourselves. Humans suffer profoundly when they can’t connect. Using Existential Therapy as a framework, I help clients navigate challenges regarding isolation, purpose, choice, and death in order to reconnect in healthy ways. A therapist acts as a mirror, not giving advice but helping you see yourself clearly and encouraging the self-respect that fuels healthy relationships. Provided the fit is good, trust is established, and you are motivated for change, therapy can be an excellent starting point for building the life you desire. I practice primarily with individual adults but also groups. I also work with high-functioning teens who are motivated for change. Virtual sessions upon request, in-person strongly recommended.

Trauma and PTSD
I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of trauma. I have experience working with adults who are survivors of complex trauma and suffer from depression, anxiety, and addiction. My approach is strength-based and client-centered with modalities from Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe most people stagnate in change because they are afraid and don’t know what to do. Many clients have told me they “feel like they are going crazy.” I am here to tell you that you are not crazy. Your mind and body are reacting to a traumatic event, and many things you do to cope with that event are to help you deal with the trauma, “normal responses to an abnormal situation.” My approach is simple: break down the problem into parts and gradually work on “unpeeling the layers.” This process is not easy and is often painful. However, it will be worth it because you will experience a freedom you never knew was possible. I want you to learn to thrive and live a full life instead of just surviving daily. I graduated from Berry College with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2003 and Kennesaw State University with my Master’s in Social Work in 2014. I have 22 years of mental health experience in inpatient and outpatient settings.

I would love to work with you to help you through whatever you are experiencing. I believe anyone is capable of change. I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all go through, at times. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person acts and feels. The more you think a thought, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. These thoughts eventually form habits, which also includes emotional habits. I offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives. My passion is helping people who experience anxiety, nervous system issues, as well as hormonal issues. I work with depression or low self-esteem. I work with stress management and developing coping skills. I use practical and experiential techniques such as relaxation and somatic exercises. I also offer Christian counseling. I also offer life coaching.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal!
