I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of ChangeMakers, LLC and A Change For ALL2 in Atlanta, Georgia and my psychotherapeutic areas of expertise include: individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, stress management, depression, substance dependency, loss of employment, grief/loss, anger management, life change coaching, relationship & communication, pre-marital counseling, divorce recovery, parenting skills, adolescent development, state funded Independent Living Programs, and Employment Assistant Programs. Life can be filled with unexpected twists and uncertainty. I would like to provide you with guidance for prioritizing your goals to assist you with becoming your best self that will be achieved not just through what we discuss, but also through homework that will be tailored to your needs. It can certainly feel at times that our personal and professional relationships are not moving in the direction or at the speed that we would like for them. Hopefully at the end of this journey, you will feel equipped with tools to build & sustain meaningful connections romantically, professionally, and within your family. Even the most focused and productive person can direct their energy into things that are not fulfilling or that may not feel as if it’s a direction towards what they choose to accomplish in life. Sometimes it can feel like running in place – not moving forward in the areas you really want to improve. The first step of this process will allow you to set goals for the therapeutic journey but also set priorities for the rank order for addressing your needs in the various areas of your life that you’re seeking to change. You have taken the first best step to becoming the best version of yourself and I am grateful to be apart of your journey.

Hey there, I'm really looking forward to meeting you and starting our work together. To make sure everything goes smoothly, you’ll find a link for our session in the email you got, and it’s also on your Client Portal, so it should be easy to access whenever you need it. If you can, try to fill out the forms before we meet, it’ll help us jump straight into the conversation without wasting time on paperwork. If anything’s unclear or you’ve got questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m here to help. Also, since appointments can fill up quickly, it’s a good idea to book a few sessions ahead of time. That way, we can lock in the times that work best for you and keep the flow going between our sessions. I’m excited to get started and see where this takes us!
