Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for supporting people through life’s most challenging and transformative moments. I have the privilege of walking alongside clients from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges. My practice is dedicated to fostering client growth, emotional resilience, and mental wellness through evidence-based practices in diverse populations.

I understand how intimidating it can be to reach out for help, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this journey. Therefore, my focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to feel secure enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences; being client-centered, validating experiences without imposing judgments or assumptions; practicing cultural sensitivity and humility, with mindfulness of how culture, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, and lived experiences shape a client’s worldview and mental health; empowering clients to explore, learn, and build tools to manage their lives more effectively; and focusing on the client’s goals and values.

Clear, honest communication is a powerful tool for healing and growth. In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm and supportive, but also direct and intentional. I practice active listening, utilize humor when appropriate, and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences, with calmness and patience. I will ask meaningful questions and challenge unhelpful patterns with compassion, designed to help you build the tools to confidently navigate life’s challenges.

Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Acworth, GA

Searching for therapists in Acworth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy styles that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy, and can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

Acworth is a smaller market, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Dallas, Kennesaw, or Marietta. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Georgia-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what to expect in session.

Therapy in Acworth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
