I am a licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist with 10 years of licensure experience. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, I work with a diverse range of clients across the United States and internationally through BetterHelp and my independent virtual practice. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome individuals and partners of all identities, orientations, cultures, and relationship structures. My practice is centered on human experiences and the relationships that shape our lives. Healthy relationships can be difficult to build and maintain, whether they involve partners, spouses, parents, children, family members, or other important connections. I help clients strengthen communication, increase understanding, address sexual concerns, and identify barriers that may be preventing them from creating healthier and more fulfilling lives. I believe our past influences our present, often in ways we do not immediately recognize. Therapy is not about identifying another person’s flaws or trying to force someone else to change. It is an opportunity to understand ourselves more fully, take accountability for our choices, develop grace for our current circumstances and for others, consider how those circumstances may be affecting the people around us, and recognize that there is no single prescribed way to build a meaningful life or relationship. My approach is direct, empathetic, and grounded in fairness and accountability. I provide a supportive space while also encouraging honest reflection and meaningful action. Together, we will examine recurring patterns, clarify your needs and values, and develop a practical plan for growth. My niche areas of focus include relationship and communication concerns, sexual health and sexual functioning, intimacy, alternative and nontraditional relationships, anger management, and substance use assessments. My goal is straightforward: to help people become healthier individuals and create relationships in which they can communicate honestly, find common ground, and experience greater connection and happiness.

As a Registered Art Therapist and an ordained minister, I also specialize in using creativity and spirituality for those who want to integrate that into their healing journey in counseling. I am also a registered yoga and meditation teacher (RYT-500) who engages and integrates mindfulness and somatic practices in my work. I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse groups of people of all races, backgrounds, and ages from 3 to 80, on a myriad of presenting problems and diagnoses, emphasizing cultural humility and contextualization with clients.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who chose this profession later in life because I have always had the desire to help others in ways that will really make a difference in their lives. I am empathetic and a good listener. I provide emotional support to my clients without judgment. Many of my clients have suffered from trauma, isolation, and rejection from family and friends. Some of my clients have experienced episodes of self harm, suicidal ideations, and suicide attempts. I primarily use a client centered approach, as I believe that clients are capable of making the right decisions for their lives with the right support. In addition, I use other therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, anger management, motivational interviewing, and coping skills for anxiety and depression. I prefer to work with adults, but will work with older adolescents as well. Mental health is as important as physical health, and when one suffers, the other suffers as well. So many people do not seek the help they need because of fear of being labeled or stigmatized. As human beings, we are creatures of memory, and sometimes our pasts keep us from becoming the person we want to be. I want to be the one to help you become your best self.
