I liken my occupation to what I consider to be my divine appointment in life. My ultimate aim is best summarized by the following motto---"Helping everyday people achieve growth, healing, and change." I believe that we all experience challenges that deplete our natural abilities to cope. Maybe you've experienced the loss of a loved one or are trying to piece your family back together after an experience with substance abuse. Either way, I have the clinical skills and knowledge of resources that can help you and your loved ones regain control and move towards healthier, happier lives.

Are you tired of feeling alone, misunderstood and stuck? Have you been struggling with anxiety, depression, communication concerns and conflict with your loved ones? Have you been feeling disconnected and unhappy in your relationship with your partner, family members or other loved ones? Conflict can ebb and flow in all aspects of our life, but sometimes the load seems hard to bear and seemingly impossible to handle yourself.

No one said life was going to be easy. We go through challenging situations in life when you feel like the weight of the world is trying to overtake you. There's nothing wrong with seeking out additional support and assistance when these difficult times occur. Self-awareness is the key element one needs to possess in knowing when help is needed. Deciding to receive therapy shows that you are taking personal responsibility for your own well-being and thusly creating and gaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and your values.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I studied at Cameron University and received a master's in behavioral science in psychology, and a BA in communications from Georgia Southern University. I have been counseling clients since 2011. Prior to becoming a therapist I was an active duty soldier in the United States Army. The army provided exposure to many cultures and adversity. I departed from the army and became involved in military programs while supporting my active duty husband in his service. I was an advocate for the unit's family readiness group which led me to pursue a career in psychology.

I provide therapy services to individuals ages 13 and older. Services include individual, couples and family therapy. I approach counseling from what is known as an eclectic position, meaning I enjoy working with very diverse groups of individuals utilizing therapy approaches that best suit their needs. Common concerns that lead clients to seek therapy include anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, trauma, parenting, grief/loss, marital discord, relational difficulties, premarital counseling, divorce, adjustment/phase of life issues, work stressors, military issues/transition, school/college issues, spirituality, etc.

Come as you are- warts, scales, and all! No judgement! It's definitely not easy to find a therapist you feel you're comfortable with. It's important to feel like you can trust and somehow relate to them, but most importantly, feel HEARD! The goal with Warner Behavioral Health Center is to provide a comfortable, warm, and friendly environment where you can just be yourself. We are a family owned and operated counseling service and we aim to treat people the way we would want to be treated. If that's not your experience with us, call us out, let us know, so that we can do better. Your words are important, and we take that seriously.

I'm an Italian – Ghanaian Immigrant and I understand what its like to face uncertainty. At young age I immigrated to the U.S and had to deal with all of life’s curveballs: parental divorce, adjusting to new culture, anxiety, depression, etc. However, I learned what it means to be resilient. Resilience takes vulnerability and courage. It takes believing you will make it out on the other side. I understand what it is like to face life’s pressures and questions: what if I fail, and what if I am not good enough? You feel trapped, you are suffering silently & everyone expects you to be strong. If this is where you are, I am here to help.
