As a mental health therapist on Saint Simons Island, I work to assist individuals understand and overcome mental, emotional, and behavioral health concerns. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a National Certified Counselor. I currently practice in the Coastal Georgia area. I am passionate about helping even the most challenging clients break through chronic, recurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, OCD, trauma and PTSD. Using evidence-based approaches to leverage a powerful set of clinical skills and practical interventions, I work to dramatically improve treatment outcomes for these challenging conditions and more.
My strength-based style promotes hope, provides support, and utilizes person centered, culturally competent approaches toward care. In all I do, I function by the practice of recovery focused principles of trust, understanding and respect. This leadership style often builds transparency and partnerships at all levels and promotes recovery, resilience, and self-determination in clients and families.
