I am the founder of Destined Horizons, PLLC. We are a private practice of dedicated therapists. In a society where "everyday" life stressors and even trauma have become the norm we have always believed that there is a new horizon of awareness that awaits.

While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. All of the therapists here believe that what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. You'll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique or two that you can go home and start using immediately. All eight of our therapists are highly trained, personable, and ready to give you the stills and techniques you need.

The current focus of my private practice is mental wellness coaching using videoconferencing in a support group setting or one-on-one.

As a parent, there's nothing worse than watching your child struggle. Standing by and watching their grades fall and their anxiety rise is excruciating, but nothing you've tried is making the situation better. Your child doesn't seem to know what's due or when, they are unorganized, have no plan for studying, lack effective study habits and skills, and have trouble disengaging from their phones. Communication is breaking down between you and your child and they seem unmotivated and apathetic toward school. You may also be questioning if your child is just being a typical moody teenager or if it's more serious. Are they depressed?

Trauma and pain from past and present experiences can stop your life in its tracks, leaving you stuck in the same patterns, of thinking, feeling and behaving that eventually lead to building a life that is less than what you've hoped for. But with a little help, you can pause, learn tools, gain insights and begin to change your life's direction. You are not responsible for everything that has happened to you AND you are responsible for making meaning from the life you are living. How you do this depends on whom you believe yourself to be. Our work will help you to heal YOU. In person and virtual visits in GA, CT.

Since 1997, I've been a Licensed Psychotherapist, progressing from community mental health to working in both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities, particularly focusing on impaired physicians. Eventually, I ventured into private practice. My journey involved providing career aptitude assessments and mediation services for college students and facilitating C-level team-building exercises. This experience revealed to me the effectiveness of peak performance training for individuals at any stage of life.

Whatever circumstances you are coming from, I am here to validate your experience with non-judgmental support. I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with many different issues, including relationship problems, low self-esteem, adjustment difficulties, and identity exploration.

Current Openings for morning/daytime sessions. Life can be messy. Despite the opportunities for growth in the these moments of life, they can also bring problems with sadness, worrying, anger, feeling inadequate, or indecisiveness. You may find that stress is impacting your sleep, or that apathy has set in and you no longer enjoy things that used to be fulfilling. These feelings may be a result of life changes, like going to college, starting a new career path, becoming a parent, or ending a relationship. The unpleasant feelings might also stem from self-exploration or past problems that are re-emerging.

I create a friendly, non-judgmental, safe environment for my clients that empowers them to succeed in making real changes in their lives. I view each person as capable of living life at their fullest potential and I help them set and meet their personal goals. I am compassionate and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. I have a special interest in helping people with depression, anxiety, weight problems, self-esteem issues, and victims of abuse. I also work with relationship issues, including difficulties that have arisen from past relationships or your family of origin.

As an agent for change, transforming the stigma of therapy is very important to me. I have brought years of personal and professional experience to counseling. I have interacted with people from many diverse backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems. My approach to counseling, using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy recognizes and respects the uniqueness of every individual I work with within a safe, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to have my client be better than they were yesterday, for themselves, their families, and their community in discussing anxiety, depression, or the stressors of life.
