Great to meet you!

I am Licensed in the State of Georgia and the State of Connecticut and I hold multiple certifications in therapy. Additionally, I am certified in Equine Psychotherapy. My practice is held in Dublin GA where we can do face-to-face therapy, equine therapy, or telehealth.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style is strength-based. Strength-based therapy is one approach to positive psychotherapy that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness instead of focusing on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome your obstacles and return to your best level of functioning so you can have a higher quality of life.

What you can expect from me

From each session, I would hope that you take away with you a reduction in stress, new tools to help manage stressors/anxieties/disruptions, and the ability to stay in the moment and to start processing your day in a positive way.
