Many people are searching for a "holistic treatment" that considers the mind, body, spirit and emotions. By utilizing Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Spirituality, Yoga and other treatment modalities I am able to assist clients in the attainment of their personal goals. I offer counseling in the areas of Pre-Marital and Marital Counseling, Individual & Family Therapy, AOD Assessing and Counseling, Educational Consulting, Georgia Department Driver Services (DUI & Defensive Driving Education), Clinical Assessments, Community Service and referrals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Ordained Minister I have made it my life’s mission to walk beside those seeking a greater understanding of their “true self.” This search for one’s meaning and purpose in life is the focus of our counseling sessions, regardless of where one finds oneself on the journey. If you are seeking a therapist to assist you on this journey to mental, physical and spiritual well-being I would love to partner with you.
