Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker based in the Metro Atlanta area, I bring a compassionate approach to therapy, backed by a BS in Psychology from XULA and a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adolescent males, and I am an Autism Certified Specialist. . As an Autism Certified Specialist, I’m dedicated to helping young individuals on the Autism Spectrum thrive.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic philosophy aligns with Albert Einstein’s assertion that “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” Many individuals allow misguided beliefs to obstruct their journey toward self-actualization. Each person deserves the opportunity to realize and fulfill their unique talents and potential. However, anxiety, depression, and ptsd often turn many into the fish struggling to climb a tree.

What you can expect from me

Whether you are seeking therapy to address depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress, or seeking coaching to help move your past your current state of stagnation, or are a young person seeking mentorship to help harness and grow your genius, My approach is fit for anyone committed to the process of soul-searching and self-discovery.
