I am an experienced trauma resolution clinician and feel so honored to practice as a therapist. My approach centers around meeting you where you are, understanding what you would like to see shift or experience in a new way, and cultivate a path to your recovery.
I am a spiritually integrated clinician and provide a space for you to access your highest self. I recognize both substance and process addictions as a means of outdated coping. Fostering new ways to cope that honor you and your recovery path is central to my practice. Achieving safety and stability internally through the healing of attachment wounds and increasing internal recognition of worth is a byproduct of this process. Move from surviving to thriving.
You've felt like you aren't as happy as you could be. It's hard to stop your mind from overthinking and worrying about everything, sometimes even getting to the point of feeling panicky.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia with 20+ years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings addressing issues relating to parenting, parent/child relationships, divorce, grief/loss, marital conflicts, behavior, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, communication, trauma, adjustment/life changes, etc.
I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, utilizing a variety of modalities to best serve the needs of my client. The modalities that are proven to be most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Rational emotive therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. It is my goal to help you to live your most fulfilling life by enabling you to be your true self. You will spend time exploring ways to grow and increase self-acceptance along with discussing the issues that you are dealing with. I will offer acceptance, empathy, and guidance as you work on personal growth and positive change.

For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals and families navigating difficult moments, helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed strength. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a special passion for supporting people through grief and major life transitions.
Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.
Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing grief, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel supported as we work together toward healing and growth.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, frustrated, or weighed down by self-doubt, you do not have to sort through it alone. For over 20 years, I have helped individuals, couples, and families work through anxiety, conflict, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I am an LCSW with an MSW from the University of Maryland at Baltimore, and I bring both skill and warmth to this work.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in McDonough starts with identifying what you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or something else. Look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern. Common license types include Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), and psychologists. If you think medication management may be part of your care, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
McDonough and the surrounding Henry County area have a range of providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions. When comparing options, consider factors like a provider's experience, their therapeutic approach, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what to expect before you commit.
Therapy in the McDonough area can be expensive without insurance, but using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
