Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, stress, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, poor communication styles, and emotional abuse. Furthermore, I have worked in the field of social work and mental health for over 15 years.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style is very empathetic and client-centered. I believe meeting my clients where they are at & providing a safe space for clients to be themselves & to never feel judged. I like to encourage clients to challenge themselves in becoming a better version of themselves and growing into self-fulfilled individuals. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling & happier life & to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

What you can expect from me

I use a person-centered approach and believe in helping people right where they are at in their process and offer a variety of techniques/tools that can help one better cope with personal issues/concerns and assist in creating personal changes in your life.
