I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Macon. I work with all ages and utilize an integrative approach paying attention to mental, physical and spiritual factors. I work with many children and teens and believe in involving appropriate family members and caretakers as well as working individually with patients. Family therapy may involve parents, grandparents and siblings. I am typically consulted for problems concerning mood, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, behavior problems, autism, chronic pain, stress and anger management. My training is in psychology and physiology and I have worked closely with medical doctors and hospitals throughout my career.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my profession is not only my career of choice but a labor of love. I have always enjoyed assisting others. My goal is provide a safe encouraging environment where individual feels safe in expressing their concerns and issues. I have experience working with a diverse population who struggle with depression, PTSD, family conflict and relationship issues. I assist clients in developing insight into the source of their behavioral issues and concerns.

My focus is on adoption and foster care. You might be foster or adoptive parents seeking to understand your child's unique needs and behaviors and direction on how to parent more effectively. You might be an adult adoptee struggling with identity, search and reunion, or grief and loss. You might be a birth mother facing complex emotions or experiencing reunion for the first time. I am here to hold space for you. I have learned by listening to the voices of adult adoptees, birth families, and adoptive and foster families. I am also an adoptive mother myself - one of the many reasons this issue is so important to me.

Counseling is a place we can explore the many facets of being a woman and the many roles that we fill. This is a confidential space to confront challenges and general life issues that may crop up in life including but not limited to emotional eating, negative body image, stress and anxiety, poor self-esteem, depressed mood, and neglected self-care. We all face difficulties during our lives. And because of the many roles we, as women, are expected to fulfill, we often do not show our suffering to the outside world. But that's how we feel on the inside. I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with asking for help!

Life is a journey that will bring on many challenges and changes that can often put you in a dark place. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, that will transition you to a better place. As a Licensed, caring professional, I would be honored to offer assistance to you in discovering that light, so you can be empowered, equipped and successful on your journey.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes you strive toward something meaningful. It’s not easy but it’s fulfilling. Other times we can struggle with what blocks us from a satisfying life, like grief or depression or anxiety or trauma. What if you could refocus that energy from negative thoughts and feelings and, instead, pour it into pursuing a meaningful life? More time with family. Enriching a loving relationship. Chasing a career goal. Improving yourself. I believe we can lose ourselves in struggles that take us away from healthy living. You can aim for a way to deal with internal difficulties and engage in purposeful living.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.” It is when we are faced with our greatest fears when we are in need of someone who we can trust to hear those fears and assist us with equipping ourselves with life skills/tools to overcome and conquer them. I have over 25 years of clinical experience assisting others on how to achieve their best life. It is my belief solutions to our problems are within us.

Hi, I really enjoy helping people that are trying to take control of their mental health. I specialize in depression. Most people at some point in their life will deal with depression.

Counseling services focus on helping families and individuals build skills that increase health behaviors and foster resiliency. Symptoms and challenges are addressed using a CBT, DBT, Adlerian, and/or a client centered ‘strengths and solutions’ based approach. Emphasis in sessions include gaining awareness of negative self-talk and habits, learning tools to change behaviors, and rewriting new scripts that illuminate strengths, acceptance, and self-discipline. Sand Tray techniques and Play Therapy are additional approaches to help clients process emotions and progress in their goals.

Shame, anger, resentment and overwhelm. Feeling unsupported, misunderstood and feared. "I feel less than. Noone can understand the pressures and fears that I have living life as a Black man. I feel like death is going to find me no matter how good I am. No matter what I do." Death and loss are so very familiar to you. Your mind is teasing you. Your chest gets so tight and your heart beats hard and fast that that you think that you will die. Is this you? Maybe it's your son. Suspensions. Special ed classes. Providing medications without considering other alternatives. It's as if someone has declared war on you and those like you.
