Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I work with a variety of different client presentations such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment, anger, low self-esteem, shame, OCD, and health/caregiver concerns. My theoretical approach utilizes the underpinnings of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, while incorporating perspectives and interventions from Narrative, Strength- Based, and Existential Theories.

My approach to therapy

Our work together is designed to be collaborative, emotionally supportive, and dynamic. We will explore the fundamental elements in your life, with a focused respect for the meaning you have made of your experiences. We will look for creative new ways for you to define, manage, and overcome obstacles. The guiding principle of our work will be empowering you to heal, build resilience, and flourish.

What you can expect from me

In our first session after our consultation, we will look at your most immediate mental health concerns and set a compass for the "who" and the "how" you would like to be at the end of our therapeutic journey.
