If you have come to me for assistance, it means that you are experiencing some ways of living your life that no longer work for you. You have come to the place where change is absolutely essential in order to live more consciously, authentically, and in alignment with the world and relationships you want to experience around you.

Assistance is out there to help you take those steps in the most loving direction to create what is necessary to help you thrive in every area of your life.

19 years offering treatment
I am a professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 16 years of experience working in various behavioral health settings. Life is often sweet, but sometimes it can be rough. I teach clients how to effectively navigate both the sweet and the tough parts of their lives by teaching them skills they can use both now and in the future. I use evidence-based interventions with clients to provide support in working through many of life’s “rough” concerns such as anxiety and depression when they do strike. The therapeutic approaches I use are applicable when working with individuals of varying ages. I seek to aid my clients in reaching the goals that they, not I, have identified. If you are seeking to confidently navigate both the sweet and not-so-sweet parts of your life and believe I can help, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
