Hi there! Thanks for stopping in to check out my profile. Therapy might seem intimidating, but it is a great step toward improving yourself and your future. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in both Georgia and Arkansas, with more than 15 years of experience as a therapist. I am also nationally certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and am a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). I am originally from the West Coast but have lived in the South for over 20 years. I have a Master of Education degree in Counselor Education from Augusta State University. I've worked in the outpatient community setting, school settings, and in a group home. I have worked with clients from school age through geriatric populations, both individual and family therapy, with a number of topics including depression, mood disorders, anxiety, stress, interpersonal communication, grief, ADHD, and self-concept, among others. My theoretical orientation is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I can draw from a number of orientations depending on what is best suited for you and the situation. My therapy style focuses on working cooperatively with you to help you feel heard, to learn and gain more confidence with coping skills, and to work collaboratively to process and brainstorm new ways of viewing or reacting to the situation at hand, so as to become an advocate for positive change in your own life. We can work together to help you identify your goals and move toward a healthier, happier future, and a healthier, happier you! I hope we can work together soon!

With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I offer a seasoned combination of wisdom, current relevance and flexible interventions. I have seen trends come and go in the fields of psychology and counseling, so I like to identify your particular needs and tailor treatment modalities to your unique circumstances and expectations. I enjoy helping people discover their true needs/desires and pursuing their dreams, potential and meeting their life goals. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression. trauma and neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, etc.). I enjoy working with individuals of all age and work mostly with longer-term clients who are interested in lasting, life growth work. I own an autism consulting business and am a Certified Autism Specialist, a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Clinical Supervisor (for AL). I have worked in multiple settings - inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, residential, in-home, private practice and, of course, virtual. My pioneering work with online counseling in the 90s (pre-Google!) was featured on Oprah's network and in Glamour Magazine, so I come to you with the highest of standards in the field. I typically use cognitive-behavioral therapy, skills-building from dialectical-behavioral therapy and neuroeducation (teaching about how your mind-body chemicals spur your feelings which lead to thoughts, behaviors and habits). I believe that people change when they're ready - my goal is to help you get ready to change and then to support you through change. You know you can't directly change others, but you CAN change yourself - and by doing so, you help change the world for the better, one step at a time. And it all starts with you! Let's create a treatment plan that is both realistic and challenging for you - one that involves a precise balance of safety and risk, comfort and courage. My clients say I'm easy and fun to work with because of the combination of my personality, professional and personal experience...and thus I use a balanced combination of compassion, reality and humor. Change is hard enough - why not make it fun, meaningful and enjoy the journey? I look forward to working with you! Ready? Set....Grow!!
