My ideal clients are children, adolescents, and families who are navigating challenges such as trauma, grief, behavioral concerns, school-related difficulties, or family stress. Many of the individuals I serve are working through complex life experiences, including housing instability or major family transitions, and need a safe space to process what they’ve been through. I’m especially passionate about supporting students and families in overcoming barriers that impact their emotional well-being and success. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, using trauma-informed care, play therapy, and family-centered strategies.

Most of my expertise is in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma, but I often also address other issues such as substance use, grief, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and many others.
My style is honest and straight-forward. My clients typically report appreciating the more warm and down-to-earth style that I bring to the therapy space. My approach to therapy is person-centered and collaborative; I believe in meeting the client where they are in their journey, and assisting them with the appropriate next steps to promote the best outcome.

Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. Many of my clients present with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stressful life transitions and circumstances, perinatal mental health concerns, or they report feeling a little “off” and are seeking help to feel more like themselves again. I work best with clients who are engaged and motivated to see changes in their lives, and I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves.

I have been a therapist since 1991 and have had the opportunity to work in varied settings with a diverse population. I approach therapy with a non-judgmental, caring attitude, believing wholeness and healing occurs if individuals, couples and families can acknowledge their strengths as well as learn from their weaknesses. I am a professional who explores how a person operates and navigates within their own family system, with hopes that they find clues to their own particular functioning and modify their behaviors in ways that ultimately lead to health.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re already dealing with stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or simply ready for things to feel different, you’re not alone. I have served Athens and the surrounding communities since 2007, and I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions such as college or relationship changes. I also provide an affirming, supportive space for LGBTQ+ clients. I especially enjoy working with young adults as they navigate the challenges of early adulthood.
