HI, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience in the field. Currently I'm licensed in GA (my home state), South Carolina, and Nevada. My counseling approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a non-judgmental attitude. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling life, but sometimes we need support and guidance to overcome the obstacles that are holding us back.

I believe the most fundamental thing to growth as an individual is empathy and understanding.

I strive to stay curious as we journey through anxiety, depression, identity development, grief, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, existential crisis and many more human experiences. .

My goal is to meet you where you are in your mental health journey regardless of where you currently are. As the counselor, I do not assume the role of expert, but as the client’s equal in the therapeutic journey together. As the client, you can expect a judgement-free space, unconditional positive regard, a working therapeutic alliance, confidentiality, and competent care. Benefits to counseling include learning effective coping and living skills, better relationships, improved self-esteem, reduced stress, and a healthier body and mind.

Carl Jung once wrote, "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your own heart." Giving yourself the gift of therapy is allowing yourself the opportunity to look deeply into your own heart.

Having a background in mindfulness meditation and integrative health, I offer a holistic approach to mental wellness. I approach this work with curiosity and compassion, aiming to help you cultivate greater insight and self-healing.

During our lives, we often experience emotional pain and adversity that leaves us feeling hopeless, powerless, or directionless. We might feel we are broken and need to be ‘fixed’. Therapy provides a path towards understanding ourselves more and increasing skills that can help us feel more able to handle difficult experiences and find growth. It helps us realize that we can find peace in the parts of life we do not like so that the parts that we love can shine. It is about finding acceptance in the uncomfortable times, and in being and becoming more of our unique selves.

My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment in which my clients and I can work to resolve or manage the stressors in their lives. I believe a positive Therapeutic Relationship between therapist and client is essential when seeking solutions to life's problems.
