Therapists in Macon, GA
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who feel stuck and desire to make changes. If you’re ready to identify root causes, process your past, and move forward in new patterns, I’m here to walk with you through that process. Family dynamics, trauma, and life experiences often shape the ways we struggle, and I want to help you move beyond those issues so you can become more authentically yourself. I am open and affirming of who you are and trust that you are the the expert on your life. You deserve someone to sit with you in the midst of the mess, allow space for your emotions, and witness your growth.

I help people struggling with stress, depression, or anxiety as well as relational conflicts within families and couples. I understand the challenges in getting help to get "unstuck" and realize it takes courage to ask for help. However, if you are like many others, you are likely tired of dealing with the same problems and getting the same results. I also help others who avoid dealing with the problem and are finally ready to begin a new life. Finding the right person to guide you should not be taken lightly.

Our lives are complicated and busy with very little time to figure out what to do next. That is why when we have issues it can be difficult to see our way out. This is where therapy is helpful; to speak to someone who is caring, accepting and can objectively see both the larger and smaller pictures. Being non-judgmental is the key to allowing people to be heard and allow some healing to begin. Sometimes it just takes validation or a new perspective to make all the difference in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for over 16 years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders.

You’re used to being the strong one — the capable one others depend on. You manage work, relationships, school, or family while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, discouraged, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’re moving through a life transition that has left you questioning your identity or direction. You want relief from the constant pressure, a steadier sense of self, and space to sort through what you’re carrying without feeling judged or dismissed.

If past experiences continue to affect your emotions, relationships, or sense of safety, therapy can help. Trauma—whether from a single event or long-term experiences such as childhood trauma, attachment disruptions, or chronic stress—can show up as anxiety, overwhelm, hypervigilance, dissociation, or difficulty connecting with others. You may feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll explore how these experiences impact your mind and body, develop strategies to regulate emotions, restore a sense of safety, and build more stability, connection, and confidence in daily life.
