I hold a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Studies and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina and Georgia. I am a member of the National Association for Mental Health Counselors and the American Counselors Association. For the past thirty years, my experience in the counseling field includes individual and group counseling. I address concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger management, and stress management. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy which looks at an individual’s beliefs and behaviors. I utilize multiple approaches to therapy to allow me to tailor therapy to fit each client. My passion for counseling is my belief that each person has a personal story to share and the power of the listening ear should never be underestimated. I will utilize my experienced listening skill to assist you in feeling empowered outside of counseling sessions. I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to enter your life and help you during this time! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama (LICSW) and Georgia (LCSW). My 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, hospice care, and mental health have given me an extraordinary appreciation for life. Sometimes we struggle with BIG things, like suicidal thoughts, while other times we are just trying to "get through the day". Regardless of where you are I would love the opportunity to speak to you. I specialize in grief and know that loss, despite it being a part of our lives, can be life-changing. Other areas I work with are depression, anxiety, aging, end of life, and caregiver burnout. I am a Christian, and I respect how important our faith is to our well-being. My approach to therapy involves a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and many others.

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.

Are you ready to explore your whole self? I take a holistic and integrative approach to partnering with you, the client, on your goals. I focus on bringing balance and harmony to the whole self. I combine traditional therapeutic approaches such as CBT with modern/ancient approaches, such as MBSR , Trauma-Informed Yoga, Mindfulness, Spirituality, Meditation, Reiki and Wellness Coaching. Life is a journey. We all are moving at our own pace. Some discover and fulfill their life destiny/ mission and some transition from this Earth without ever thriving and living to their full capacity. We are here to do more than just survive. We all are deserving of healing and receiving what we need to love on ourselves gentler.
