It would be an honor to work with you! I especially value helping clients increase self-esteem, navigate life transitions, address anxiety and depression, focus on relational repair, and help clients as they transition to parenthood (as well as women struggling in their identity of motherhood). I am also a certified facilitator of Prepare Enrich, a premarital and marriage assessment tool that uses evidenced-based skills and insights to foster healths relationships. It is a privilege to work with premarital couples building a foundation on curiosity, growth, and awareness.

Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, my goal is to help clients develop healthier, confident relationships with themselves & others.
The foundation of my practice is built around helping people reconnect with their inherent goodness. I believe that every person in this world is inherently good, and has what to offer to others. Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we face challenges that either propel us to success or set us back and put us in a state of fear. When we "do the work" together, we try to identify what the setbacks are, then we work on unleashing your potential to reveal your goodness and your gift for the world around you.

You’re struggling to find some motivation. Mounting pressure in your work environment. Or maybe you’re looking to assert yourself more in your relationship. Sometimes, life’s stressors can hit us hard, rendering us helpless. When this happens, we don’t always act in our best self interest. But, there are ways that we can increase our mental well-being. I believe that in order to affect change, we have to understand and explore the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Clients that I have had the pleasure of working with are hopeful of having the tools to adequately manage life’s next hiccup.

I have over 10 years experience in individual therapy, group therapy, couples therapy, and psychological assessment.
Personal beliefs and thoughts have power over our emotions and behavior. Sometimes we just aren't aware of our underlying beliefs influencing our mood. Awareness allows us to manage our emotional world from a better place. I will help you become aware of your beliefs, how they are affecting you, and help you realize that you have what it takes to make positive changes in your life. I know it can be difficult to talk about your feelings. So I start by providing a safe space for you. Together, we will work collaboratively toward your personal goals, leading to a happier, more productive life.

I work with couples and adult individuals who are experiencing relational distress or going through life transitions, as well as with adolescents and their families in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.
Sometimes it feels as if we lost our way; our closest relationships are a constant source of conflict and loneliness, and we struggle to find true connections, clarity, confidence, hope, and peace. It does not need to be that way. You can be seen and loved for who you really are, and you can count on yourself and others through the ups and downs of life. I enjoy guiding people through that journey to become their best selves and to enjoy fulfilling relationships.

Working with the individual to guide them through both personal and relationship issues is a passion of mine.
At some time in our life we all struggle with some sort of adversity. I believe we are not judged by adversity but how we handle it. Asking for help is not always easy but it is a sign of strength.
Therapy is a process of self discovery that enables you to recognize unhealthy patterns of behavior and learn effective coping strategies for optimal health and well-being. Life happens to each of us and much of life is out of our control - but how we respond to life's events is completely within our control.

I believe that we are all trying our best and that we are the experts on ourselves and our families.

This can leave us feeling frustrated, hopeless, and isolated as individuals, couples, and parents. Thankfully, therapy can help us and our children move beyond our pain, fear, and destructive behavior, and toward a greater sense of peace, happiness, and belonging.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
