Hello! Whatever brought you here to consider a counseling relationship, you have taken a courageous step. If you choose me as your therapist, I will help you work toward overcoming your stumbling blocks. I can help with whatever your issues are, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or substance use. I will always be real with you, and we will work together in a way that makes you feel safe. My approach is strengths based, client centered and solution focused. A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina with three brothers. I graduated from the University of NC at Chapel Hill with degrees in Psychology and Clinical Social Work. I moved to Georgia, became licensed as an LCSW, and I've been helping people for over 20 years. Outside of work, my greatest blessing is my young adult son, who is a recent Air Force veteran. I value my friends, family and faith. I have two dogs and a cat. I love to walk or hike, eat out, and listen to music. I especially love the beach! I believe you are the expert of your own life. If you choose me as your therapist, we will work toward accomplishing your goals together. My clients tell me that I am calming, genuine, encouraging and trustworthy. It would be an honor to join you in your healing journey. Whatever your decision, I wish you all the best.

My expertise includes adoption and fostering issues, youth transitions to independent living, counseling with families and couples, and transition issues related to aging/mid-life issues. Please note: I do not provide chat only therapy. I know my limits and use phone or video sessions and chat between sessions for update and support.

I am licensed in Georgia with 19 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert on your story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Cognitive Behavioral Life Coach with 5 years of professional work experience. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a Concentration in Family and Child Services from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Social Work from Capella University. I hold the Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH) and Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner (HS-BCP) credentials from the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE). I am a certified specialist in anger management and grief/loss. I have experience working with children and their parents or guardians in inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, providing individual, group, and/or family counseling, clinical-community linkage, and crisis intervention. During the course of therapy, I foster a non-authoritative approach and I utilize Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT is a therapeutic approach which engenders a new way of being with painful emotions and challenging situations. MBCT is thought process-focused, and it is often used to help individuals who struggle with anger/aggression, anxiety, and depression. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, thus, each session is tailored to fit your strengths, needs, abilities, and/or preferences. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

I am licensed in Georgia and Tennessee with 10 years of professional work experience. I love partnering with people on their journey to greatness. I use a strengths-based approach to help my clients see the choices that are always at their disposal to unlearn past harmful messaging or combat unrelenting present symptoms. As a Black woman, I always integrate the importance of diversity. Playing small to blend in doesn't serve anyone. Whether we're different based on external or internal attributes, we all need to embrace our beautiful and different qualities so that we can live an authentic life. My work also focuses on boundaries, challenging thoughts, and improving communication skills. I integrate role plays, affirmations, accountability, and direct introspection exercises to aid clients in quieting the noise of societal norms to embrace their true joy. All sessions are client-focused, I don't come with my own agenda. I'm excited to help you live life with confidence on your own terms. I look forward to working with you.

Professional Overview I am an intuitive psychotherapist and hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling and have been in practice 14 years with clinical experience ranging from private practice settings to college and university counseling centers. My postgraduate education includes doctoral training at Spelman College, Georgia State, and Georgia Tech Universities. Business Professionals & Entrepreneurs I offer specialized counseling services tailored for business professionals and entrepreneurs dedicated to providing heart-centered services to their communities. I recognize that those who lead with compassion and purpose often face unique interpersonal challenges, particularly when it comes to communication styles and relational patterns. My approach supports clients in working through unresolved emotional wounds that may be impacting business partnerships, personal relationships, or both. By identifying and transforming these underlying dynamics, I empower clients to cultivate healthier, more successful, and fulfilling personal and professional connections. Relationship Counseling I view relationships as dynamic partnerships, whether romantic or otherwise, that require intentional care, communication, and collaboration. Just like business partnerships, cultivating emotional safety, a vision of shared goals, and clear compassionate communication is crucial to a successful and healthy relationship dynamic. Treatment Approach I bring a unique blend of Psychodynamic, Attachment-Based, and Emotionally-Focused therapy techniques, along with the Gottman Method, one of the most research-supported and effective approaches to individual therapy. This evidence-based framework helps clients recognize and shift negative interaction patterns, improve communication skills, and strengthen emotional connection. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals of diverse sex, gender, and relationship identities, including but not limited to the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking to enhance professional collaboration and leadership, working through recurring conflicts and betrayal, or striving to deepen intimacy and trust-I am committed to helping you create resilient, authentic, and successful relationships in all areas of life.
