I am a Licensed Psychotherapist in private practice in the state of Georgia. I help children and adults overcome the negative effects that stressful or traumatic life experiences have on how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

Navigating life can be stressful and emotionally overwhelming. Everything suddenly can seem too much to manage. Therapy can provide a deeper understanding of yourself- your needs, wants, desires and above all your strengths. Starting where you are is key! You are the expert on your life’s journey. Working together we will enhance your self-awareness to expose a greater understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. All while initiating an individualized plan to move you towards your more enjoyable life.

Asking for help is very difficult but necessary for change and growth. My goal is to work with you so that you can achieve the quality of life that you desire and deserve. I support clients to resolve issues that are effecting their emotional, mental and physical well being. My areas of expertise include trauma, loss/grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, abuse, relationship issues, separation/divorce, personal growth, co-dependency and other general issues.

Therapy is about YOU...your needs, your hopes for change, your life. It is my job to create a safe, welcoming environment for you to work on the goals we set together. People begin or return to therapy for all sorts of reasons. But often the catalyst is a significant life transition. Relationships are suffering, personal issues are becoming too difficult to take, or a particular challenge/situation has arisen. "We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing." Please don't wait until a crisis hits, get help today.
