I have been a licensed therapist since 1992. I was first licensed in California and held a license in Louisiana for several years until I moved to Georgia. I have been an LPC in Georgia since 2002 where I am also a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor. Over the years I have worked in Community Behavioral Health and maintained a private practice. When the Covid Pandemic forced me to work virtually I found that my clients enjoyed the ease of meeting from their homes. This method of practice also allowed me to meet with my clients at times that were most convenient to them. My clients have brought many issues to our sessions including abuse and trauma, depression, stress and anxiety, co-occurring issues, family conflicts, life transition issues, lack of self esteem and confidence as well as communication issues. I provide a safe and validating environment where clients feel comfortable and are able to share their intimate concerns. I am non judgmental, caring and am concerned about my clients growth and happiness. I am adept at many approaches to counseling including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma Focused, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client Centered Therapy and Existential Therapy. Putting it simply, I work with you to help you find peace and happiness. Everyone deserves a fulfilling life and I would honor the opportunity to go on the journey with you.

*I take insurance on a separate platform! Please ask if you are interested* Hello everyone! Welcome to my page. I mostly help clients navigate life transitions, infidelity recovery, stress/anger management, and relationship challenges. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps, I would love to provide a supportive, direct, and compassionate space to heal and grow. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, or managing anxiety, I can help you develop clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns and create lasting change. I use a lot of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to help with reframing thought patterns that may be holding you back. I also explore your past to help understand the root of your issues. We won’t delve into areas you’re not ready for. I hope that, as we build trust, your comfort with vulnerability grows, so together we can face those challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by the state of Georgia. I have my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and my Bachelor’s in Sociology and Anthropology. I have worked in private practice, prison, school, hospital, and partial hospitalization settings. On a personal note, when I am not providing therapy, I am a performer in NYC. Musical Theatre is a passion of mine and Broadway is definitely the end goal for me. I'm also in the process of learning Korean. My favorite cuisine is Mediterranean food. I am a bariatric patient, I had the gastric sleeve to be exact and have lost 100 lbs. I’m the type of person who goes to the beach and can stay in the water for hours. Most importantly, I never give up. Not on myself and definitely not on other people. Ready to start your journey with me? Let’s go!

My favorite borrowed saying is, “Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing the best you can.” Just as I strive to live by my truth, I help families, couples and individuals sort through life’s complex knots, create space for new thoughts, maximize what is working and release what isn’t. I believe that therapy is a place where you can help untangle yourself from negative patterns that are keeping you from realizing your goals. I offer a warm, honest and collaborative space to explore issues that are troubling you and for you to find the flexibility and resilience for stronger connections to others and the pursuit of your own goals. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence and other emotional concerns. My work is to support you in your journey and create spaces where you can feel heard, respected, validated and encouraged.
