Depression Therapists in Lowndes County, GA
I specialize in working with clients who have co-occurring disorders, such as substance abuse and depression.
Are you feeling trapped in cycles of addiction, or struggling with relationships that feel impossible to repair? Does unresolved trauma weigh heavily on you, or do you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, mood swings, sleepless nights, or constant emotional turbulence? Maybe you carry deep feelings of shame or guilt, or feel disconnected from who you are. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain about the future, or questioning whether things will ever get better, know this: you don’t have to face any of it alone. Healing is possible, and support is here when you’re ready.

My ideal client is someone who is self-aware enough to recognize they are struggling but may not yet have the tools or confidence to make meaningful changes. They might present with issues like anxiety, unresolved trauma, low self-worth, or difficulty maintaining healthy relationships. Often, they are high-functioning on the outside but feel emotionally stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed internally.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults with a broad spectrum of issues including trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, grief, and a variety of other mental health issues.
I am passionate about empowering people to make positive changes in their lives. I recognize that people have the ability to change, but often lack the confidence or direction to do so. I do not believe there is a one-size fits all approach to therapy and I strive to develop genuine connections so that therapeutic services are personalized to the needs of each client.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years experience helping individuals who feel stuck despite appearing successful on the outside.
