I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients presenting a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, social behavior, and school issues. I am also a nationally certified school counselor. My experience in the school setting has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to effectively help children, adolescents, and their families. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I employ a holistic and integrative counseling approach. I will tailor communications and treatment plans to meet the unique and specific needs of each client. In the first sessions, I focus on applying a person-centered approach which lays the foundation for a healthy client/counselor relationship. A trusting therapeutic relationship is important for creating a space where the client feels comfortable and safe to share his or her feelings and experiences. As therapy progresses, I will utilize alternate counseling strategies to assist the client in progressing forward. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a counselor with 7 years of experience working with a range of clients. Having received a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, my focus has been on helping to heal relationships while also working with individuals learn to cope with stressors that spring from family of origin issues. It has been a honor to walk with those struggling with past traumatic experiences as well and this has been where the majority of my experience lies. I have worked in different environments including residential treatment centers, in-home counseling, and also church-based and hospital settings. My approach to counseling is to help the person or family I am working with identify where they would like to be by first listening and then working collaboratively with the person or system to achieve the desired outcome. I am trained in Prepare-Enrich and have worked with couples to strengthen their marriages. With individuals, I have worked mainly using techniques from CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT when indicated. Having been trained in family therapy, I use Family Systems Therapy approaches to help families learn about how they currently operate and to help them make changes to improve their dynamics in how each person relates to other members. The first step to getting to where you would like to be is taking the time to reach out for help. I would be honored to walk alongside you and provide the support you need to make your tomorrow better than today!
