I am a professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 16 years of experience working in various behavioral health settings. Life is often sweet, but sometimes it can be rough. I teach clients how to effectively navigate both the sweet and the tough parts of their lives by teaching them skills they can use both now and in the future. I use evidence-based interventions with clients to provide support in working through many of life’s “rough” concerns such as anxiety and depression when they do strike. The therapeutic approaches I use are applicable when working with individuals of varying ages. I seek to aid my clients in reaching the goals that they, not I, have identified. If you are seeking to confidently navigate both the sweet and not-so-sweet parts of your life and believe I can help, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
