I believe that our most painful experiences do not have to define who we are or who we become. Life can bring seasons of heartache, uncertainty, and challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves, others and even our faith. My heart as a therapist is to walk alongside individuals through difficult seasons, providing a safe and compassionate space to process life's challenges, work toward healing, and rediscover hope.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Counseling Psychology at the University of Toccoa Falls and my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California.

My clinical background includes pediatric emergency medicine, behavioral health, crisis intervention and grief counseling. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of life's most difficult moments. These experiences have shaped my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the importance of meeting people with compassion, grace, and understanding.

I am currently working towards my certification in EMDR. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and life transitions, as well as first responders and their families.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that meaningful healing and growth are possible. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they navigate life's challenges. Using a collaborative, person-centered and trauma-informed approach, I help clients process difficult experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward lasting emotional healing. My Christian faith is an important part of who I am, and for clients who desire it, I welcome the opportunity to integrate faith and biblical principles into the therapeutic process, encouraging healing, hope and a deeper understanding of their identity in Christ.

Our first sessions is really about getting to know each other and helping you feel comfortable. I know starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so there is no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We will talk about what brought you here, what you have been through, and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. I will listen, ask questions, and we will work together to figure out what moving forward looks like for you. More than anything, I want you to know that this is a safe space where you can come as you are, feel heard, and know you don't have to walk through life's challenges alone.
