With respect and gentle guidance I will walk you through your process. I see individuals and families of all ages and gender. I am comfortable with severe mental illness as well as situational depression and anxiety.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma issues, emotional overwhelm, identity issues, and/or life transitions. My clients often experience cathartic "lightbulb" moments when we connect the dots between their life experiences, mental health symptoms, the brain, and the body. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and even scary, but you're not alone. Together we'll harness your unique strengths to help you navigate problems, gain confidence, and reduce stress. Some of the approaches I use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, somatic work, DBT, exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), art, and music.

People come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and worn out. My goal is to provide compassionate support to my clients during painful transitions, help them gain clarity, develop coping tools, and improve communication skills. Couples come to me feeling disconnected and resentful. I help partners learn new, effective ways to communicate. I build on couples' strengths to help them find a fun, passionate, and intimate way of living. Parents come to me feeling heartbroken and confused by their interactions with their children. I help parents heal their own childhood wounds so that they can parent in a loving way.

My hope is to work with people questioning, discovering, or embracing their neurodivergence. I'm most interested in working with teens, young adults, and adults. My hope is to bring more understanding and appreciation for the things about you that are divergent from what is “normal". I provide a safe space to explore what’s on your mind, who you want to be, and how you might get there. In our work together, your story, strengths, and goals will guide us on the right path toward your healing, growth, and self-understanding.

I am licensed in the state of Georgia and have worked in the mental health field for 20 years. Seven of those years I have worked as a therapist/counselor. Some of my experience includes working in a residential treatment center, in an outpatient community mental health clinic, private practice, as well as in school settings. I have worked with those from all different ethnic backgrounds with great outcomes. I enjoy helping adolescents and adults live happier, healthier lives, by improving their mental health and education. Based on the initial session, treatment will be tailored to the needs of each individual.

Many of my clients say that they "know" in their head that everything is not their fault or that they are a good person, but still there is a doubt that feels unshakeable. When we go through painful experiences or relationships, it sometimes teaches us to believe something limiting, negative and UNTRUE about ourselves. I want to find out what those beliefs are and what happened to convince you of them. Let’s discover what you truly believe! Any expression of gender, spirituality or identity will be affirmed, honored and respected here. I offer the most gentle trauma therapy I can by centering your needs in every moment.

Kierkegaard said life wasn't a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced. We will always experience joys and pain, strength and sorrow, and a little support can go a long way. As a therapist, I am not here to solve life's problems for you, but I am here to support you and your family while you experience the hard parts of life. I'm here to listen to and validate your world and help you develop skills or tools to cope with the tough times.
