I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I hold a doctorate in counselor education and supervision and a master’s degree in professional counseling. I have been working in mental health for over 15 years as a counselor, educator, and supervisor in a broad range of settings including community-based clinics, non-profit organizations, and private practice. I have taught in master’s level courses, facilitated educational and professional development workshops, and presented at national conferences. I specialize in anxiety and panic disorders, anger management, substance use, and complex trauma. I have also lived abroad and understands the joys and complexities of being an ex-pat. As part of ethical disclosure of limits of scope of practice - and since these questions are often asked - I DO NOT have specialized training in borderline personality disorder, dissociative disorders/DID, OCD, ADHD/ADD, porn/sex addiction, or eating disorders. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, persons of color, and persons living with HIV. Using a combination of Adlerian, Feminist-Intersectional, and systems theoretical orientations, I take a direct, practical approach to assisting clients. Whether you are looking for skills to manage stress and related symptoms, support with assessing options in order to make important decisions, or you are ready to dive deep into change, I can help you to meet your goals. I typically respond to messages within 12 hours. I believe that therapy requires active participation and commitment for progress to occur. While messaging can provide a base for information and updates to be shared, I expect clients to engage in live sessions (video or phone) on a regular basis. I offer text sessions on a limited basis. These regular sessions - 45 minutes at least every two weeks, preferably weekly - allow for direct interaction and communication for skill building to alleviate symptoms, identifying and addressing dysfunctional patterns, resolving trauma, etc. Pronouns: She/her/hers
