In-office or virtual.
My ideal client is someone who’s been holding it all together for everyone else but feels lost in their own story. They want clarity. They want calm. They want to feel again—not just go through the motions. Maybe they’re ready to set boundaries, heal childhood wounds, explore who they are beyond expectations, or simply find space where their pain can breathe without judgment. They’re not looking for a magic fix—they’re looking for something real: a therapeutic space where they feel seen, heard, and safe enough to do the work.

Columbus, GA 31901
As a mental health therapist, I believe in empowering clients to become aware of their own healthy/unhealthy thinking and behavior so, in return, they can implement positive lifestyle changes. Collaboration between the client and myself is used to guide the client in redefining their own way of life. Clients should know that this sometimes can be a short or lengthy process but I am willing to walk all the way with them as they develop their new healthy self. Clients should know that they are never alone in this new journey...

I will see you by appointment, in person and/or online.
Therapy is a good thing! It’s for everyone. It improves your overall health, can be preventative and works best before you fall apart. Much has been said in the last few years about our health care system being designed to treat conditions rather than prevent them. This is even more true when it comes to mental health and mental illness. Still, in 2025, an enormous stigma related to mental health and substance use disorders exists. Consequently, the majority of people who could use therapy as a preventative measure do not because of shame/guilt, embarrassment, or pressure to “just get yourself together”.
