You may be doing everything you can to keep up with life's demands while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional ups and downs, or a major life transition, it can be exhausting trying to manage it all on your own. Therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand what you are experiencing, and create meaningful changes that support the life you want to live.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Marble Hill, GA


Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
