Some of the topics I can address include: mental health needs, sadness, anger, nervousness, motivation, grief and loss, wellness, self-improvement, communication skills, family and marriage issues.
I believe that ALL people are the experts of their own lives and sometimes need a little help making decisions, feeling heard, or just need to get things off their chest. I offer individual, family, pre-marital, and group counseling, and coaching services to people of all ages.

Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Athens, GA 30606
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, self-concept, family/relational concerns, infertility and perinatal loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, life transitions, and men’s concerns.
Compassion and collaboration are key elements in growing through any life circumstance. Together, we can build a foundation to move forward with insight, hope, and change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that brings your unique life circumstances and experiences to a safe and warm environment. While growth and change are a life-long process, each challenge can be addressed within a supportive counseling relationship to bring awareness and change. In working from a client-centered perspective, my goal is to work side by side and help you achieve the life you desire.

I work with individuals facing a range of concerns, including life transitions, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
Doing this type of work, therapy, is truly an honor and privilege. I recognize the deep responsibility of holding space where you can safely explore your most vulnerable moments. My approach is strengths-based and non-judgmental, creating a collaborative environment where we can navigate life’s challenges together. As Ram Dass beautifully put it, “We are all just walking each other home.” I walk alongside my clients with empathy, support, and at times, a gentle nudge to help you move toward the life you want to lead.

How in the world am I supposed to get it all done when I feel like I can't make it through the day? This is a question you may be asking yourself at this very moment. You may find yourself less motivated, apathetic, tearful, or anxious with these emotions getting in the way of your personal and relational goals. If you want to feel better, create more fulfilling relationships, or build self-awareness, I want to help you achieve it.

I believe every one of us is a good person at heart, we are all trying our best and laziness is a myth. You may have a hard time believing that about yourself. You may have been taught (by families or systems) that you are bad, lazy or selfish. You are scared to make decisions or trust your intuition. You want to love yourself the way you love others! I offer a radically different perspective. I think it is possible to love yourself a little bit at a time, take things less personally and create more space in your life for peace.

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.

The truth is, you're a total badass who has been pushing through pain and difficulty most of your life. Most people around you don't notice that you’re struggling, because you've been holding it all together so long. But all the struggle and the work to keep it "under wraps" is starting to wear on you. You're tired. You might feel numb and struggle to connect with those you love or feel constantly on-edge or anxious. You may even have flashbacks of your worst moments or developed chronic pain or syndromes. It's starting to feel impossible to keep "holding it all together."
