I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in Georgia. I have been practicing counseling for 21 years, working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I have worked in non-profit, school, and private practice settings. I have provided support to blended families, individuals dealing with loss and grief, and many other life stressors. I also have experience working with individuals managing college and career transitions.
I believe that life is a journey. Each of us is on our own individual journeys, and sometimes that path can be overwhelming. Sometimes we run into a barrier on our way and need some additional support. I know and understand how life can bring us unforeseen challenges. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment to encourage you to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. The most important aspect of my work with you is building a positive therapeutic relationship built on dignity, trust, and respect.
I take a holistic approach to counseling. My theoretical approaches incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I use these approaches as a guideline to work with you and to develop a unique plan to meet your needs. I will also provide you with psychoeducational resources to help you outside of our sessions.
I am here to help you through this time. I am looking forward to working with you and helping you identify your next steps.
