About me

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Georgia with 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, past trauma, grief/loss, aging and coping with life changes

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, client centered therapy and motivational interviewing. I believe in meeting people where they're at and do my best to tailor my approach to ones individual needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I frequently remind clients that the journey of 1000 miles begins with that one step. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

She is very non judgmental and meets you where you are in your process

I've been working woth Donna for about 8 months now and she has helped me in so many ways. She truly listens to my concerns and helps me feel understood and respected. I can open up and be vulnerable and share my true feelings and thoughts. Donna helps me to challenge my views on myself and the world and helps me see things in a new light perspective.

There is no doubt that I am truly in such a better mental mindset than I was when I started with Betterhelp. My family is amazed at the change & the way I'm able to keep my emotions from overriding my actions & words. Pairing me with Donna was perfect. It's like two friends chatting & that has made the conversations so easy. She was so good at giving me the tools along with the courage to use them in the best way. Learning I had the right to make positive boundaries & how to take care of myself FIRST has been the light that I work to live by. I have good & rough days, but bad days are minimal now. I am aware I will be a work in progress for a long time, but it is getting easier. I know this because I am continuing to see results in my state of being comfortable, healthy, & happy more & more all the time. I am thankful for this forum of Betterhelp & the one on one chats with Donna. I'm understanding how to love the new me. I even get excited to use my tools & see great results. Thanks to Donna, I have a very useful new superpower. Life is GOOD
