You are stronger than you think and worth so much more than you can imagine. The fact that you are reading this right now is proof of that!

I have known since I was a teenager that I wanted to be a social worker. It was when I was 14 that an LCSW was able to connect with me and help me through a dark depression and the amplified anxiety that often goes along with it. It has been my passion since then to provide that same help to others. I have 15 years of experience working in the mental health field, 10 of those as an LCSW. I have experience with individual therapy and group therapy modalities, both on an outpatient and an inpatient basis.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. I am fully bilingual and can provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Most of my work is treating anxiety-related disorders, OCD, and working with LGBTQ+ communities. The therapy models I work with are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Affirmative Therapy (LGBTQ+ communities), Exposure to Response Prevention (ERP), and Supportive Therapy. I work with adults experiencing OCD symptoms, anxiety, and stress. I can provide you with coping skills and strategies to improve your well-being.

Does life have you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Perhaps it has left you feeling weighed down by stress and demands or haunted by intrusive thoughts? Know there is hope and freedom. In a world full of noise, I hold a quiet, safe space for you to speak, to explore, and to transform. My focus is on you and helping you grow and thrive. Addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and OCD are just a few issues I have helped clients address.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across multiple states (via telehealth) who are seeking support for various mental health challenges. Many of my clients have difficulties related to anxiety, depression, and past trauma that get in the way of enjoying life and thriving to their fullest potential. I also work with people who are diagnosed with OCD, schizophrenia/bipolar disorders, and related conditions. The foundation of my therapy is a collaborative relationship based on acceptance. I look beyond the mental health “condition” and seek to understand you as a person, influenced by your identities and past experiences.

I believe in the power of therapy to transform, heal and reprogram so that you can lead a full life. Are you having trouble being who you want to be in your relationships? Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Are you desperate for relief from past trauma? I am committed to providing a compassionate space for you to be heard in order to explore old hurts, navigate present difficulties, and find relief from emotional pain and anxiety. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that access both conscious and subconscious issues.

Your largest fear carries your greatest growth. If you're searching for that one person that will change your life, look in the mirror. Our fatigue is often caused NOT by school or work, but by worry, frustration & resentment. The real cause of problems is not life itself, it's the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes the problem. Tired of overthinking? Tired of not having movement in your life? Feel stuck? Battling intrusive thoughts? Anxiety or depression draining you? Having a hard time deciding which way to go? You can choose to stay where you are, or you can choose to get help. Call me when you're ready!
