About me
As a licensed therapist in Georgia with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with deep compassion and cultural sensitivity.
I bring extensive expertise in helping clients navigate communication difficulties, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and multicultural concerns. My approach honors each person's unique journey, particularly supporting women, young adults, and individuals experiencing significant life changes.
My therapeutic work focuses on creating affirming spaces where clients can explore healing from challenging experiences like isolation, family conflicts, chronic pain, and interpersonal trauma. I'm committed to understanding each client's individual context and supporting their path toward emotional wellness and personal growth.
Drawing from years of professional practice, I offer nuanced, empathetic guidance that respects diverse experiences and backgrounds. My goal is to empower clients to develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful insights into their emotional well-being.
