Insight Counseling and Coaching Specialists, LLC was voted 'Best of Gwinnett' for 2019, 2020, 2021, & 2022! Starting therapy can be a very challenging and overwhelming process.

At times, life presents challenges that impact the quality of our relationships and daily functioning. Counseling can help to ease the overwhelming feelings associated with life transitions, grief, depression, parenting, anxiety, anger, family, low self-esteem, and other interpersonal relationship concerns. At Beautiful Dreamers Behavioral and Educational Center, we offer comprehensive therapeutic, psychological, psychiatric, medication management, nursing service, and psycho-educational services. Whether individual, family or group, our mission is to provide a collaborative and encouraging environment that encourages personal growth. Our team of expert therapists possesses a variety of specialties and certifications that focus on the needs of the individual regardless age (including preschoolers) and area of struggle. Beautiful Dreamers Behavioral and Educational Center also provides comprehensive psychological educational evaluations for children and adults in the areas of intellectual functioning, academic, behavioral, vocational, and forensics. Our psycho-educational assessments are highly detailed and identify any underlying impairments affecting school performance.

Life can be difficult to maneuver. As multifaceted individuals we often carry a little weight in every one of our realms. These weights can be a result of the specific “trauma points” that we’ve held on to as our perspective has grown over time. Those points look like family conflict, life transitions, career stress, relational/personal redevelopment or many other reasons for why we may have crossed paths here today. Overall, how we engage with those points affects our relationship with healing. Whether we recognize it or not, we all could have used guidance through a period of suffering. Every doubt is an opportunity for growth.

I explore the underlying dynamics and repeating patterns of mood, thought, emotion, behavior, relational styles, and experiences that form recurring “themes” in your life. Together we collaborate to bring more awareness, intention, empowerment, and connection into your life and into your relationships so that you can live more fully the life you have imagined.

Life can be overwhelming and challenging. With support and encouragement from a therapist you can trust, positive change is possible! I help people navigate the difficult and challenging experiences that everyone encounters at some point in their lives: stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, and major transitions or losses. I provide individual therapy for teens and adults who want to lower stress, increase self-esteem, and develop a diverse toolbox of adaptive coping skills. I believe that a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential to a client's success.

Welcome to a space where your journey towards healing and self-discovery is not just supported, but celebrated. With over 20 years of experience and as a licensed therapist, I've had the privilege of connecting with individuals on their unique paths to resilience and empowerment. I go beyond the conventional therapeutic approach. I'm not just a therapist; I'm your advocate, confidant, and guide through the highs and lows of life. There's no judgment here—only acceptance, education, and encouragement. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to have someone in their corner, someone who can help them regain a sense of control.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages, youth, and children. My goal is to meet everyone wherever they may be in their life's journey—to help them overcome emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual strongholds to live an unrestrained life to its fullest.
