I received a Masters of Social Work from the University of Georgia and graduated in 2015. Prior to working in a private practice, I worked in Children’s Hospitals as a social worker in Intensive Care Units and Emergency Departments. My specialties include trauma, anxiety, insomnia, adjusting to new situations (family changes, jobs, moving, etc), having depressive symptoms, or are experiencing OCD.
Therapy does not have to be scary or overwhelming; sometimes a little humor can help. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am a solution-focused therapist. I work with teenagers and adults and my goal is to work towards people not needing to see a therapist and being able to have skills to cope on their own.
I have advanced training in the treatment of PTSD and am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an effective approach for improving sleep.
I collaborate with clients to figure out treatment goals to know what their individual therapy entails. Also, I provide a supportive environment where people can be themselves and know they will be understood. I am very supportive of diverse clientele and love learning about new people.
