I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with more than 6 years experience as a psychotherapist. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, women's issues and career challenges. If you are experiencing burn out, struggling with work/life balance, feeling lost or overwhelmed, I am here to help.
My counseling style is authentic and warm. First and foremost, I will always be a human being sitting in front of another human being, honored to be entrusted with their most delicate parts. I do not take that lightly and I prioritize it above any diagnosis, treatment plan, or positioning myself as an expert. I believe in the holistic approach that healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in acknowledging your past, observing your present, and guiding your future. I don’t view you as broken or in need of “fixing.” My role as your therapist is to guide and support you in unlearning negative thinking patterns, learning effective ways cope, to accept and love yourself, and empower you to live a more balanced and peaceful life. I work with my clients in a way that best supports their individual needs using one or a combination of the following therapeutic approaches: person-centered, CBT, TFCBT, mindfulness, IFS, level 1 of hypnotherapy, narrative, and ACT.
