How long have you suffered with feelings of sadness, anger, indifference, guilt, or fear? Perhaps you are struggling with transitioning back to balancing work, school, family, and social responsibilities outside of the home. Do you find yourself or others frustrated with problems related to your use of alcohol or drugs? Maybe you feel more and more fed up with relationships, stressful situations, or just about anything at all! For many of us, the Covid-19 Pandemic has magnified feelings of stress, loneliness, and hopelessness. If you were already feeling overwhelmed; fighting to keep going each day, how much more can you handle?

Through life’s transitions such as school or workplace stress, to relationship and family conflicts life is full of challenges that are sometimes out of our control.

Clients experiencing depression can make daily life activities seem unbearable, and it can significantly change how we see things almost as if wearing gloomy specs and disconnected from our environments.

Do you feel weighed down by the trials of life? I empower high functioning men and women to overcome the burden of anxiety and depression that can come through challenging life experiences. Those challenges can impact your mood, motivation towards daily life, and your thoughts. I am passionate about helping you learn how to better manage the not so fun areas of your life. I love mixing quality conversations and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to get to the root of how you perceive your struggles.

Have you ever felt all alone and like no one understands your struggle? Whether that struggle is anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, overwhelming emotions, feeling less than or not enough, or hurt by trauma. Do you feel like you’re not yourself and you want the old you back or to find a new you? Do you long to be whole and know how to handle life’s problems easier and have peace of mind?

I am a licensed clinical social worker, founder of Kind Recovery, and one of the first certified psychedelic counselors in Georgia. I've been providing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy since 2019. I work with clients who have experienced mental injury or trauma and find themselves stuck in rigid thought or behavior patterns. These patterns might look like perfectionism, people-pleasing, substance misuse (addiction), anxiety, depression, avoidance, and more. I want you to know that it is possible to radically shift these behaviors with the right approach. I'll be with you as you learn to access the wisdom of your higher self.

Life can be very challenging, from handling adulthood, to finishing college, and navigating the changes in life, to realizing you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, not loving your work or your relationships. I have worked with people who have turned to alcohol, drugs, food, or self-injury to cope with these kinds of life events and challenges. Others have shut down in the form of depression or paralyzing anxiety. In essence, the ways of handling life’s stressors are no longer effective, and in these moments, we need help. I am so proud of you for taking the first steps and prioritizing your mental health.

Are you feeling stuck, directionless, unable to find a way forward? Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you feel like your past is holding you back?

You are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're going through your day with the constant fear of not being a good enough mom, partner, employee. You feel lost and overwhelmed as you fight to present yourself as someone who has it "all together." Your friends and family don't know how alone you feel because you don't want to be a burden to them. The ghosts of your past torment you, reminding you constantly that if you had been good enough to begin with then you wouldn't have been hurt so badly. It's all your fault, your mind is racing, and you don't know how to make it stop.

I believe in creating a new therapy for each client and that you are the expert of your life. By building a trusting therapeutic relationship with you, I want to help guide you through the challenges life can bring. I utilize an integrative, person-centered approach to therapy, emphasizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Art Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and several other therapeutic modalities. My clinical experience has given me the skills to efficiently treat ADHD, Adjustment Disorder, Complicated Grief and Loss, Anxiety Disorders, and Mood Disorders.
