About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with over 5 years of experience working as a community therapist. I earned my master of social work degree from University of Southern California and my bachelor of social work from Clark Atlanta University. I work with families and individuals facing a variety of issues such as depression, relationship troubles, family conflict, grief, anxiety, trouble in the workplace, and family planning. I value your desire to be heard and validated as an individual. I will offer my support and respect you and your values without judgment.
I take a holistic approach to counseling and take time to gather as much information as possible to support your needs. I use a blend of therapy styles in order to achieve the intended goals for treatment. Your time spent with me will be guided by you and the services you receive will be tailored to your needs as no two individuals are exactly alike.
Congratulations on taking the first step to making a change for the better and I look forward to working with you and getting to know you.
