My dream therapeutic client is someone who is ready and willing to invest in their emotional well-being and engage fully in the therapeutic process. They are motivated to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with openness and curiosity, even when it feels uncomfortable. These clients are committed to understanding and addressing the root causes of their challenges, rather than avoiding or suppressing their feelings. They value the opportunity to process emotions, build self-awareness, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether working through past traumas, navigating life transitions, or striving for personal growth, they embrace the journey with a willingness to reflect, take accountability, and make meaningful changes. Ultimately, these clients recognize that emotional healing is not a quick fix but a process, and they are eager to partner with me in creating a more fulfilling, balanced, and authentic life.

Real talk—life’s messy, people are complicated, and therapy shouldn’t feel like a tense, uncomfortable session where you’re scared to be yourself or worried about being judged. I’m human too, and making sure this space feels genuinely safe, welcoming, and judgment-free isn’t just something I do, it’s at the core of who I am as a therapist. You deserve to be fully seen and heard exactly as you are, no masks, no pretending, and I’m here to keep it real with you every step of the way. I am a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience working alongside children, adolescents, adults, and those facing some of life’s toughest challenges. I bring a spunky, eclectic energy into the room and aim to create dialogue that feels real, honest, and refreshingly human. Never forced or scripted. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, weaving together multiple evidence-based methods to tailor treatment that fits you, not the other way around. Specializing in trauma, major depressive disorder, suicidal ideation, anxiety, PTSD, and navigating complex family relationship dynamics, I’m committed to fostering autonomy and safety in every session. I welcome all identities and backgrounds with open arms, ensuring everyone feels accepted and valued in this space.

Have you ever looked at your family and thought to yourself (hopefully quietly): "Goodness, our family is so dysfunctional!" "Why can't we just get along, and connect in a healthy and 'normal' way?" If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you've come to the right address. I'm happy to help your family work to become more "functional." In a direct yet gentle way, I ask my clients tough questions and offer them concrete tools to move forward. Clients come away from sessions feeling well understood and empowered.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for empowering individuals to overcome personal and professional barriers, and lead fulfilling lives. Being an introvert, I can truly understand others who have these traits and can help them identify any limiting beliefs, gain self-awareness, and utilize the benefits of those characteristics. As a therapist who deeply understands the lived experiences of BIPOC women, I help my clients process the impact of generational patterns, societal pressures, and internalized narratives that may be holding them back. I guide women in shifting their mindset, stepping into their confidence, and aligning their lives with their true desires. Late Cancellations When a cancellation is needed for therapy, I request a client does provide notice within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, the $75 fee will be charged to the client’s account or card on file will be charged and will be asked to pay this balance prior to scheduling the next appointment. No Show Regarding No-Shows, this is where you do not attend a scheduled appointment. You will be charged the full fee of the session which is $150 (regardless of use of insurance). The fee will have to be paid before another session is scheduled. Multiple no shows or lack of communication will result in termination of services. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I encourage you to utilize the client portal to cancel or reschedule.

My experience comes from providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling for teens and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression. I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors. My clinical experience includes working with a diverse population which includes race, youth, families, and adults given my firsthand experience in navigating generational and cultural differences. Representation for minority groups in the broader world of mental health is still very small, and my own professional goals include creating more intersection between my personal knowledge of western cultures and professional experience in providing mental health support. My experience is varied and across settings, as I have provided individual and family therapy in community mental health agencies, school settings and day treatment facilities. I believe that we are all products of our closest relationships, our environment, our family systems, and every moment that leads to the present us. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Structural systems. A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and calibrate treatment and my approach to what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals.

My work has mostly revolved around individuals and families coping with major life changes. Grief and loss can come in many forms - divorce, death, loss of a job, rejection from peers, etc. In the past, I have worked in hospital, inpatient hospice, home hospice, and palliative care settings. Today, I see patients at bedside, in the home, and with patients transitioning to different phases in their life journey. Aside from working with the patients themselves, I embrace strong family communication and problem solving. When parents need a higher level of care, caregivers often feel overwhelmed, ashamed, and dealing with many tasks to have the patient moved to a safer environment. I strive when helping these families utilize the benefits of their communities along with evidence based practice to obtain gains in regards to psychiatric symptomology.

I am non-judgmental and laid back with a good sense of humor, but also action oriented. I use a holistic approach to mental health and wellness since mind and body are intertwined.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience helping people navigate the hard stuff — anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the weight of expectations. I’m licensed in Georgia, Indiana, and California, and I work with adults of all ages, including college students, veterans, and women who find themselves feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe in creating a space where you feel seen and heard — but also gently challenged. Together, we’ll look at what’s underneath your stress, identify patterns that are no longer serving you, and explore strategies that move you toward clarity and calm. My approach blends CBT and mindfulness, and I also have training in Brainspotting. This can be especially healing for trauma, anxiety, and grief. As a Black woman and a therapist, I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic stressors can collide. I hold space for that complexity. Whether you’re navigating a loss, a shift in identity, or just feeling emotionally exhausted, I’m here to support your process — not rush it. Let’s work together to make sense of what you’re carrying and find your way forward.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” Carl Jung. The choice to “choose what to become” takes incredible courage, strength and perseverance. To help you get there, we will spend time understanding what's keeping you up at night or weighing you down during the day. My aim is to fully support you on this journey whilst always honoring your personal identity and lived experience. I've lived in different parts of the world as both a child and adult and this helps me to be particular sensitive to, and experienced in, cultural/identity issues together with the challenges of transitions, be they geographical, career/retirement, or relationships. I also have extensive experience of helping with addiction. It has been said that addiction is a "feelings disease" and whether it is a substance or behavioral addiction (e.g. gambling, food, spending, sex), I focus on addressing the addiction by resolving the feelings behind it together with providing practical support for long term recovery. Therapy looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship tailored to your specific needs. My clients say I am warm, friendly, easy to both talk to and to confide in. So, if you are facing challenges please do reach out. And thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take Golden Rule?

Yes! If you use Golden Rule you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Golden Rule you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

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! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
