Hi All, I'm currently practicing in the state of Georgia with an office in Calhoun, Ga. I'm a person who has an easy going attitude, loves the field of counseling, and connecting with people. I have worked in the mental health field professionally since 2001. My work history includes working with individuals who have experienced trauma and/or past abuse, couples/marital issues, substance abuse/use conflict, school conflict, parent- child conflicts, & most primary mental health diagnoses. I enjoy working with populations from all walks of life. Don't miss out on the opportunity for you & I to work together and Envision Your Recovery.

My ideal client is one that recognizes their life is not proceeding as they had intended and are motivated to work with a talk therapist on transforming themselves. I am a seasoned therapist who has extensive experience in working with clients with mild to severe depression, interpersonal conflicts,bi cultural/bi racial, alternative lifestyles, chronic health issues e.g. HIV/AIDS, women's issues, divorce and work life imbalances.

Online or Phone Appointments are offer from start times of 8:30AM till 4PM. I work with a wide range of general conditions with children and adults, such as anxiety and life transitions. I specialize in grief and loss transitions. Talking about your grief can be hard, regardless of the loss or closeness that you may or may not have had with your loved one. Everyone feels and expresses their grief in different ways, especially children. The loss of loved one, such as a caregiver, is a journey that lasts throughout life and can resurface in different ways and at different times.

As your counselors, we will use a variety of treatments to help you focus on your specific goals. Effective counseling is the place to turn when solutions to life’s problems seem out of reach. Our professional staff helps individuals and families resolve crises, enrich family functioning, enhance parenting, and help manage unexpected life events, challenges and transitions. If you are a parent, you want what is best for your child, but it’s not always easy to know what type of support he or she needs. Our practice is is the place to turn when children’s problems seem overwhelming and too difficult to handle alone.

I have a 100% online professional counseling service, using video conferencing. I work with clients ages 12 and and a wide variety of issues, I particularly enjoy working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, anger, and adjustment issues. I am eclectic and holistic in my approach to therapy, drawing from various systems of therapy to meet the individual needs of the client, and encompassing care of the body, mind, and spirit. While I do not impose my beliefs on clients, I am a Christian and willingly deal with spiritual matters that clients may bring to counseling.

If you are looking for someone to help you make a change in your life, I applaud you for taking the first step! Reaching out to someone else can be difficult, but having someone to listen, to help you clarify your thoughts, and to hold you accountable can be the key to making satisfying changes in your life. I’m offering to be that person for you. Whether you are facing life challenges, struggling with self-defeating habits, or trying to overcome issues from your past, I’m ready to be your ally. Therapy can be the catalyst for discovering your strengths and building on them to create a more fulfilling life.

Is it difficult to get past your own self-doubt? Is your mind clouded with thoughts of anxiety, or sadness? Do you feel mad at the world sometimes?

 You aren’t alone. Many of us have been there, and it’s possible to come back to who you’re meant to be. You’ve already made the first step, just by reading this with an open mind.

I enjoy working with people who believe they are at their breaking point and don't know what else to do. Whether it be "mid-life crisis", going off to college, school and work demands, relationship issues, struggles with parenting, stress, depression, anxiety or ADD. Do you look in the mirror and not recognize yourself? Does your teen appear to be struggling? Do you often wonder if there is something more? Have your friends or family told you that counseling might help you? If you are wondering if you would benefit from counseling then you would benefit from counseling. Life doesn't have to be this hard for you or someone you love.

My therapeutic approach engages and guides each client into meeting their full potential by creating awareness and solutions to their current challenges by looking into their life experiences and life history. My personal theory is to treat each client as an individual; meaning all therapies are not beneficial or advantageous to all. By individualizing my therapy techniques and philosophy, it provides the client with the customizing they deserve. I am nonjudgmental and have an adept ability to establish rapport and trust easily with my clients. My goal is to help my clients achieve a healthier, stronger and happier well being.

You're a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Life in plastic is fantastic! Unfortunately, your life is not in plastic. Much like Barbie, you've reached many accolades. You have a cute apartment and a nice car. You long to feel confident and secure. You have your Ken. Your Ken gets treated much like Barbie's Ken. When you lack control, you feel afraid. You don't tell people that you're afraid. Perceptions are then made that you are mean, aloof. You can be referred to as the naughty word that rhymes with itch and witch. You get the idea. No worries, though! You are in the right space! You are a Barbie. I'm Therapist Barbie!
