Healing begins with courage and you’ve already shown it. Reaching out for support is a powerful act of self-awareness. I believe therapy should honor that bravery by celebrating your strengths, exploring areas for growth, and equipping you with tools to thrive. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC II), I offer inclusive, culturally responsive therapy to a diverse population. I serve clients across Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Louisiana.

Specializing in trauma, neglect, and C-PTSD has been focus of much of my career, but I've also had the privilege of supporting clients through grief, stress, anxiety, depression, negative self-criticism, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I strive to create a comforting space where you can express your thoughts and emotions openly without judgement. My recent work has centered on healing from adverse childhood experiences, attachment issues, and relationship challenges. If you are interested in talking briefly to see if we would work well together, feel free to send me a quick text or email.

The people who call me for help are real people just like you. You exhaust yourself trying to cope with the stresses and strains of real life. You often feel overburdened, stressed out, and maybe even trapped. You try to stay positive about things, but your resources [emotional and financial] are likely stretched to the breaking point. Your relationships are struggling. It seems that the harder you try to make things work, the worse they seem to get. There's not enough time to do what needs done. Every moment you spend in therapy has to count.

Knowing when to change is a deeply personal matter with many signs for when change is needed. We might feel stuck, out of control, or always coming back to the place we are trying to avoid. Our work together will explore what works for you, what doesn't, where you are headed, and what you're leaving behind. You don't need to know how to make changes in life. You only need the audacity to explore - We’ll explore together.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re used to pushing through on your own or you’re not quite sure what you need yet. You may be dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. I work with adults and college students who want more than coping—those ready to understand what’s underneath and begin moving toward meaningful, lasting change.

I am a fully licensed clinician specializing in trauma, substance use spectrum disorders (addiction), and psychedelic therapy. I completed a 1-yr certification in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and have been working with Ketamine since 2019. My clients vary a good deal in their diagnoses, but under the label of depression, anxiety, etc., they're actually suffering from mental injury or trauma. They're stuck, confused, and unhappy. I'm called to demystify your experience and help you heal the narratives and associated behaviors that make you miserable. My greatest joy is being a part of you rediscovering yours.
