I’m a therapist who believes that real healing happens in a safe, authentic relationship. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story. I draw from person-centered, feminist, and Internal Family Systems approaches to help you better understand yourself and the world around you. As a queer, transgender therapist, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the room, especially when working with LGBTQIA+ clients. I love helping people untangle the expectations and systems that may be holding them back so they can move toward a more authentic, fulfilling life. Therapy is meaningful work—and yes, we can laugh along the way.

I’m a bilingual (Spanish) therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, and relationship challenges.

My philosophy towards Therapy is the following: "The nice thing about things that are urgent is that if you wait long enough they aren’t urgent anymore.” --Dr. Amos Tversky The demands of modern society have created an environment in which every moment of every day seems to be urgent. This constant sense of urgency leads to stress, which in turn makes you feel overwhelmed and unfulfilled. You may feel like each day is no more than a series of crises and that you can’t keep up with everything. Finding your way out of this loop requires stepping outside of your daily routine and figuring out what really matters to you. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help for oneself. I commend you for taking the first step towards improving your life and will stand by and encourage you along this journey together.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Valdosta State University. I was born and raised in Nebraska but have made Georgia my home, and I truly love it here.

My goal is to make sure that from the moment you connect with me, you feel welcome, heard, and comfortable. I am an animal lover through and through, and that love has found a natural home in my clinical practice. I incorporate pet therapy into my work with clients, and I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that a furry friend can have on even the most difficult days. Whether it helps break the ice, ease anxiety, or simply bring a moment of joy into a hard season, it is one of my favorite tools to offer. Outside of my passion for animals, I am deeply committed to doing work that matters. I show up for my clients with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them through the hard stuff, and celebrating the wins along the way — big and small.
