Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Jonesboro, GA

I have been counselling since 2007 and I specialized in working with people with depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, mood disorder, relationship.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult seasons. I’ve worked in community mental health, court systems, and outpatient programs — serving youth, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

If you’re someone who has had to be “the strong one,” the responsible one, or the one who figures it out for everyone else — I see you.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally exhausted. They show up for work, for family, for everyone — but struggle privately with overwhelm, burnout, shame, or frustration.

My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to shrink. You don’t have to explain cultural context. You can show up fully — and we work from there.

Is your life stressful and overwhelming? Are you ready to break self-destructive patterns and addictions? If your answer is yes, then help is at hand. Goal Focus Counseling Services (GFPS) incorporates faith along with psychodynamic intervention to give you an effective plan of action. Individualized attention is given to address persistent personal, relationship and work concerns. You and your family can express your feelings privately with someone who is supportive and non-judgmental. Our objective is to focus on goals to maximize your therapeutic experience. With over 20 yers. experience, we now offer video/phone sessions.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive and collaborative space for individuals seeking help with emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s needs.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and adjustment challenges. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and helping clients feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives.

I hold a Master of Social Work and have experience in clinical and medical settings. I also supervise clinicians within a group practice, ensuring clients receive thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.

Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I serve the adult and geriatric population. I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia Graduate School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
