If you often describe yourself as "the strong friend" or "the one everyone relies on," or you find yourself facing another holiday season where you thought you'd have a baby by now. If you are a recovering perfectionist or you can’t shake off the dark clouds of depression. If you never feel good enough or think your problems aren’t “big enough.” If you like your therapy with a little humor and a lot of hope, you are in the right place. I believe the therapy process should be as unique as you are, so we will work together to identify your goals, strengths, and values and use these as a foundation for change.

You’ve been the strong one for too long. Maybe you're the teen who holds it all together while chaos swirls around you — parents who are emotionally unavailable, a home that feels more like a war zone than a safe space, and a sadness so deep it’s hard to put into words. You might feel invisible… or too visible. You’re exhausted, self-aware, and maybe even skeptical about therapy — but you’re here. That already tells me something powerful about you. I specialize in working with teens and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, and identity struggles.

As a Christian, my faith offers a strong compass for all I do. As a veteran, clinical psychologist, and school psychologist with 6 degrees and 31 years of experience (20 with Gwinnett County Public Schools), this compass has been pivotal in helping others. I specialize in two areas: (1) Psychological and psycho-educational evaluations, having completed thousands of evaluations with students ages 4-22; and (2) Treatment of ADHD, either in traditional therapy or a highly specialized martial arts program that develops skills and reduces symptoms medications alone do not improve (see "Groups" below).

I help adults identify and heal childhood trauma that may be contributing to feeling stuck or difficulties in relationships and life. By improving interpersonal skills and social functioning, I support people in enhancing their emotional well-being and relationships. I also have a deep passion for working with children and families to address trauma early in life. I love coaching parents and caregivers to strengthen emotional connections with their children, and supporting young mothers and their infants. My work often focuses on the roots of trauma, including those embedded in intergenerational patterns and narratives.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Some are processing trauma or painful life experiences, while others are navigating difficult relationships, major life changes, or questions about faith and identity. You might feel like you're carrying a lot on your own, or like the strategies that once helped you cope just aren’t working anymore. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, be understood, and start making sense of what you’re going through.

I support clients who've been carrying a heavy load alone and are ready for relief from always having to be strong.

They’re looking for a place where they feel seen, understood, and not judged for the ways they’ve learned to cope. Their goals often include feeling more regulated, connected, and grounded, understanding their emotions, and breaking patterns that no longer serve them. I want to be your safe space.
