Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, and am based out of Buford, Georgia, United States. I specialize in the counseling of Relationship Issues, Marital and Premarital, Chronic Illness, etc.

When working with clients, I strive to cultivate a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where they feel safe to openly share their thoughts and feelings, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration through active listening, empathy, and genuine understanding; essentially, working with me would feel like a safe space to explore your concerns with a compassionate guide by your side.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, I utilize Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family / Marital, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy.

I have experience in handling cases of Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality, Chronic Pain, Coping Skills, Depression, IVF, Parenting, Sickle Cell/ Bone Marrow Transplant, Self-esteem, Stress, Substance Use, Women's Issues, and more.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, clients can expect a focused conversation aimed at getting to know them, understanding their concerns, establishing clear expectations for therapy, and building rapport to determine if there's a good fit for working together; this includes discussing their background, current challenges, previous therapy experiences, and potential goals for treatment while feeling welcomed and comfortable in a safe environment.
