"We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future." - Steve Maraboli

You have far greater potential than what you've realized. I guide people in moving beyond self-perceived limits brought on by mental illness and life circumstances. I provide treatment on a brief or long term basis using accurate assessments, evidenced based treatment, integrity, ethics, competence, and advocacy.

My areas of practice include depression, anxiety, suicidal impulses, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, and concerns related to sex. As well as delivering mental health services for people of color and the LGBT community. You deserve to be treated with sensitivity, respect and confidentiality.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re constantly wading through a mental fog, I want you to take a breath. You don’t have to figure it all out right this second, and you definitely don’t have to do it alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing telehealth therapy across Georgia. I received a Master of Social Work degree in 2017 from Kennesaw State University. I have over 10 years in practice with teens and adults.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where children, teens, adults, couples, families, and women can feel heard, supported, and empowered. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and emotional well-being using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you build on your strengths, and support you in creating lasting, meaningful change.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you didn't feel like you had a voice? Not having a voice can be caused by several different factors. Ranging from experiencing past trauma, daily stresses of life (i.e. relationships, work, etc.), symptoms of depression, and anxiety. It can be difficult to get to a point in your life where its okay to speak your truth. My goal is to assist you with finding your voice and identifying your truth. This will help you in getting to the next phase in your life, in spite of the circumstances that you have experienced or are currently experiencing. I specialize in working with women who are looking to find their true self wherever they are on their journey.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Using a client-centered and solution-focused approach, I help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Together, we'll build practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
