I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with years of mental health counseling experience. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life’s stresses, including school and transitioning into young adulthood. I specialize in child and adolescent therapy, adjustment struggles, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem-related problems, and relationship issues—whether romantic, peer, or familial. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Piedmont College and earned my Master's degree in Social Work at the University of Georgia.
I utilize talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive and art therapies (ET, ART), and play therapy (PT) techniques. I understand how hard it is to open up to someone new and know what a big step it is to be willing to receive therapy. This understanding helps me create a pace based on each individual client.
I believe in developing rapport with clients to create safe, comfortable spaces and nonjudgmental environments. I also believe in meeting the client where they are and allowing the client to lead the session. I am confident in my ability to support you and help empower you to grow through whatever you're going through.
