You begin to find hope when recognizable patterns emerge. Hope grows when these patterns are understood and accepted in the context of your past experiences. Change occurs with ongoing feedback, practice and encouragement.

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.

It takes a great deal of courage to seek counseling when you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or other challenges in your life.

Doing the hard work of therapy, through the supportive relationship with a therapist, can help you feel more like your self again.

As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients like you feel seen, heard, and supported as you get clear on what’s holding you back and learn new ways to move forward.

You heard that motherhood is supposed to be a natural transition, but it doesn't feel that way. You think about how a good mom shouldn't feel sad or angry like this. You're managing, but it's not joyful like others said - it’s hard. You're trying to be calm, to do and say the right things, but you're overwhelmed. You love your kid, but you miss how easy things used to feel. It’s confusing. You wonder if it gets easier. You deserve relief. You want to figure out what you need. You're ready to feel some ease and happiness. You're ready for motherhood to feel good for you. I can help you get there.

At any given moment you can make the decision to live the life you desire. When we avoid addressing our past and present issues, we may develop unhealthy thinking patterns, behaviors and ways of coping that we don't even recognize. & although we may not recognize that these things are happening, it can easily lead to confusion, self doubt, anxiety, fear and even sadness. Healing and transformation are easier said than done and there is nothing wrong with connecting to a professional you can identify with to help you with the process.
