About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia focused on providing services to individuals and families. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, and a PhD. in Social Work: Policy, Planning and Administration and have over 10 years of experience providing clinical services to children, teens and families. The onset of my career began with helping children and families within a community mental health setting as well as those involved in the child welfare system. My clients have had a wide range of concerns including: Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I've also worked with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse.

I believe in a humanistic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy where the focus is on helping clients develop a strong sense of self within a non-judgmental therapeutic setting. I am a proponent in addressing factors that contribute to the healing of the spirit, mind and body.

I am happy that you have taken the first step in your healing process and I look forward to working with you.
