Throughout my life, I have recognized possibilities in all kinds of situations. My extensive career has focused on helping people realize their own possibilities, through counseling, coaching and training. You are likely seeking counseling at this time because you are having difficulty recognizing and realizing possible solutions to an issue in your life, and I would like to help. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia, with over thirty years of experience in providing counseling and consultation with people in all walks of life to manage stress, anxiety and depression, grief and aging concerns, parenting issues, and personal coaching. For over ten years, I provided counseling and support services for medical students, doctors, and other high-stress healthcare professionals. I warmly welcome people of different ages, races, cultures, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, and gender identity. I believe that you have the capacity to create your own solutions when given the tools, training, and support to do so. To that end, we may choose to incorporate such creative avenues as art, writing, music, humor, and reading, to assist you in finding your answers. My person-centered, solution focused approach to counseling means that we work and celebrate together as you find the solutions that work best for you.

Hi and welcome! Finding the right fit for your counselor is an important step in this journey of growth, and I'm grateful you've decided to take the time to learn more about me. Individual therapy is a collaborative effort between you and your therapist. The goal is to provide an open, supportive, and confidential environment for you to address the issues that are concerning you. Therapy often includes techniques to increase awareness and the capacity for self-observation, make adjustments, and develop insight and empathy. I have 12 years of experience in the mental health field across various settings. I specialize in helping men and women with issues of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in Christian Counseling. I feel the call and see the need for a safe place for Christians to be open and vulnerable about the issues they are facing. Many Christians hear wonderful sermons week after week, yet many still struggle with issues that prevent them from fully receiving the life and power in God's Word. My platform focuses on what I call Counsel-Coaching. I want to talk about the things you feel like you can't talk to anyone else about. I also want you to leave your 1st session transformed with a new focus. I believe, you, me, and the Holy Spirit can do that!

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Georgia, with 21 years of professional work experience. I believe that within a strong, collaborative relationship, problem-focused therapeutic goals can be reached in a timely manner. I see adolescents and young adults with a variety of presenting problems, including: anxiety, depression, stress and coping, inattention and distractibility, motivation and self-esteem, relational difficulties, life changes, and the complicated interaction between managing a chronic medical condition and maintaining psychological well being. I am a proponent of researched based, yet psychodynamically informed, psychotherapy. This means that we may explore the past a bit, in order to discover what is blocking the ability to acquire or integrate newly learned coping skills here and now. 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 change. I am here to provide the tools and the support, and to empower you to reach your goals. *Please note that my current availability to new clients is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings/early afternoons*
