I am not your typical therapist as I started my career in finance and have an undergrad in Business. While I could succeed in this path, I did not find meaning in it. I see becoming a therapist as a calling and not a vocation. I first worked in acute mental health as an advocate, then as an addiction counselor, and eventually after receiving my MSW as a dual diagnosis therapist. I have much empathy for the hurting and have always been drawn to those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and the effects of trauma. As such, I have been a mental health advocate, addiction therapist, mental health therapist, trauma therapist, psychiatric director, and behavioral health COO. I feel like I have seen all levels of behavioral health care and use that wealth of experience, resources, and specialized training to help others. I believe that compassion and empathy are keys to change and try my very best to meet you where you are. I also value diversity and have worked with a wide range of the problems that individuals and couples struggle with. Most of all, I am not a respecter of persons and have worked with the homeless to the CEOs of major corporations. I feel that we are all just humans and that we all struggle with similar challenges and problems. I have also worked with a great diversity of people from very diverse cultures and many international clients.

I help you create space to focus on themselves, especially when life feels overwhelming or directionless. You may be balancing many roles while trying to manage stress, past experiences, and the pressure to keep moving forward. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment where you can pause, reflect, and begin to prioritize your own needs. My approach blends compassion with practical strategies, so sessions are not only a place to process but also a space to gain tools you can use in your daily life. Together, we’ll explore the patterns or challenges that keep you feeling stuck, and we’ll work toward realistic steps that bring more balance and clarity. My goal is for you to leave therapy with a stronger sense of yourself, strategies that make life feel manageable, and the confidence to move forward with intention. You don’t have to carry everything on your own, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Positive change is achievable when you have a supportive and understanding guide. Life can bring uncertainty, stress, and obstacles that feel overwhelming, and seeking help is often the first step toward clarity and growth. With 25 years of counseling experience, including several years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have helped adolescents and adults navigate challenges, build resilience, and create more fulfilling, balanced lives. In therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and relationship difficulties. Using a mix of evidence-based strategies, active listening, education, and practical skill-building, I help clients identify goals, overcome barriers, and take meaningful steps toward personal growth. I view mental health as deeply connected to every aspect of life, from relationships to work to self-esteem. When challenges arise whether in behavior, emotions, or interpersonal connections I aim to provide a space for reflection, healing, and empowerment. Seeking support can feel intimidating, but it is also a courageous step toward transformation. Every journey begins with a single step, let’s take it together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University. I work with children navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional dysregulation, with a special focus on helping parents feel more grounded, empowered, and connected in their role. My background in providing mental health support in schools gives me a firsthand understanding of the academic, social, and emotional pressures children face—and the ripple effects these challenges can have on the whole family. I take a child-centered and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and tailoring sessions to their needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, and play-based interventions, with specialized training in Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and CBT. My goal is to make therapy both meaningful and engaging—so children feel seen and valued, and adults feel more connected to themselves and their parenting.

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 insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.
