I grew up in rural Georgia; born to older parents who instilled in me the value of connection with others and treating others as I would want to be treated.

I believe that each of us holds the answers we seek within ourselves, and my role is to support you in accessing that inner wisdom and intuition. My purpose is to help you release the fear that keeps you feeling stuck and uncertain, guiding you on a journey back to self-discovery and empowerment. Success, in my eyes, is when you feel equipped with the tools, knowledge, and insights needed to blossom as your truest and highest self.

Manifesting hope & living life with meaningfulness doesn't have to be journeyed alone! I have over 16 years of experience in individual and family therapy. I have experience with clients from diverse cultures, faith, life transition phases, and career backgrounds. I recognize the importance of meeting clients where they are and have seen success in ensuring that my treatment approach incorporates humility and being inquisitive about set-backs and progress. I incorporate humor when appropriate and may sometimes ask hard-questions when patterns of difficulty arise. I provide in-person sessions to clients in Georgia with office hours available on Monday, Friday and Saturday.
