Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Valdosta, GA


I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I provide therapy in a way that is warm, empowering, and honest. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful change.

I work with clients navigating depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family stress, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I see the process as a collaboration — one where your voice, goals, and pace matter. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to heal from painful experiences, I aim to meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge patterns that are no longer serving you.
