Great to meet you!

I’m a LCSW, offering therapy throughout Georgia. My goal is to provide a convenient, virtual, safe space where you can focus on your personal growth and achieve emotional clarity. With extensive experience providing therapy, I'm well-prepared to help you find life balance. As a wife, mother, and professional, I understand the difficulty of prioritizing yourself, but doing so is key to creating lasting change. Change is possible if you're feeling overwhelmed by past thoughts and future worries.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy approach is grounded in CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, delivered with compassion and focus on meeting you where you are. Whether you're new to therapy or returning, I believe a new normal is possible, and I’m here to support you in coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or unresolved trauma. My integrated approach considers your unique needs, and together to reach your goals. I encourage gentle practice of tools between visits, learning that change is possible!

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, validated, with a sense of relief from having a safe, nonjudgmental space to share. You'll gain valuable insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and experience a positive improvement in mood and thinking. In time a shift in your perspective will lead to the change you desire.
