I am licensed as a clinical social worker in Georgia with six years of clinical experience providing services to diverse populations. I have experience helping clients cope with addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger management, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
My wide range of education and experience has allowed me to take a direct, empathic approach toward improving my clients' needs and outlook on life. I therapeutically approach my clients to assist them in being all they can be. Our session will be held in a non-judgmental atmosphere, led by the client as the main driver of the discussion. I have the ability to apply "evidence-based" treatment approaches, meaning they have been backed by extensive research and science to be effective in treating specific disorders. I am passionate about my client's success and well-being.
I began my career working in substance abuse and homelessness. I obtained my master's degree in social work from the University of Georgia. Life can be intimidating. It is helpful to have someone to process daily stressors and feelings associated with those life experiences we all go through. I am here to partner with you along life's road of experiences to help you maximize your success in life. I'm excited about our partnership and look forward to working with you.
