If you’re reading this, I want to honor the courage it takes to seek support—your journey toward healing and wholeness matters deeply. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and complex family dynamics. My approach is rooted in traditional, evidenced-based therapeutic interventions, but I also believe healing can be creative, expressive, and deeply personal. Whether it’s through music, painting, storytelling, or even video games, I welcome the unique interests and strengths you bring into the space we will share. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all—it’s tailored to you. I serve clients across Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Louisiana, offering inclusive, culturally responsive care that honors your identity, your struggles, and your story. Wherever you find yourself today, I’d be honored to walk alongside you toward your healthiest self.
*Exclusively online therapy sessions.* Are you adjusting to or do you anticipate a big life transition and it's causing you anxiety? Does school stress have you feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you are having difficulty connecting socially or you're feeling conflicted about how to approach a current relationship struggle and it's keeping you up at night with worry. Or do you have some negative experiences from the past that just keep you feeling stuck? I understand the struggles in finding a therapist who understands. You don't have to figure it out on your own or stay "stuck in your head" anymore. Within a safe therapeutic environment individuals have the possibility to connect experiences with emotions, learn healthy communication skills, and develop tools for managing life's challenges. I strive to help clients find empowerment in learning tools for self-advocacy and self-care. Sessions are conducted through an online secure video platform. I offer a free 30 minute consult to ensure we are a good fit. I am typically able to respond fastest to email inquiries. También ofrezco servicios de terapia en español.
Hi, great to meet you! I tend to work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. You might be juggling school, relationships, family expectations, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed. Maybe you’ve been dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling like you’re “not enough,” even if things look fine on the outside. A lot of the students I work with are thoughtful, caring people who put pressure on themselves and don’t always give themselves the same understanding they give others. Some are going through big transitions, breakups, or identity questions. Others just feel off and aren’t sure why. If you’re looking for a space where you can be real, feel heard, and sort things out at your own pace, we’d likely be a good fit. Let's connect.

***ONLINE COUNSELING AVAILABLE*** At times, life can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to bear the burden alone. I have 22 years in the behavioral health field as an executive, teacher, consultant and dually-licensed clinician helping people move beyond their burdens to get on with their lives. I have been providing clinical services since 2005, and I'm a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science along with the American Counseling Association. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, panic, stress, anger, trauma, grief and problematic substance use across the lifespan. My primary therapeutic orientation is a mindfulness-based treatment known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Instead of trying to control or get rid of unwanted experiences, this approach develops the flexibility to respond differently so that you get unstuck from what is holding you back. It is an inherently person-centered, strength-based modality. Sometimes our struggles seem like we are in a tug-of-war with our own feelings, thoughts, pain, suffering, past and worries. At times, it may even feel like it's too much because you still haven't won that war, no matter what you've tried. Together, we can learn how to drop the rope so that you can get on with what is truly important - your life!

Our counseling strategies are customized to fit the needs and backgrounds of our clients. We aim to empower our clients, helping them harness their strengths as tools for growth & healing.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, break through barriers, and tap into their inner strength. Every person is unique, and my goal is to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the specific needs and preferences of each client. Expressive art therapy provides an alternative form of communication, particularly beneficial when traditional verbal expression may feel limiting. Artistic expression allows for the articulation of emotions, experiences, and narratives that may be challenging to express through words alone. The focus is on the process of creation rather than the end result, allowing for a more profound and authentic exploration of emotions.

Clients often tell me that I'm "real." I think they appreciate my irreverence, my sense of humor, and the fact that, while I'm kind/gentle, I never BS them. In other words, I come to the therapeutic relationship with curiosity, acceptance, and authenticity. Thus, clients are free to experiment with new ways of being, uncovering insights and answers along the way. Clients often tell me that I'm "real."

In our work together, I'll encourage you, rather, to approach your challenges with compassion and inquisitiveness, trusting that you have the resources you need to achieve your goals. If you're ready to explore, I'm eager to listen. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

If you've ever felt misunderstood, struggled with recognizing your worth, grappled with questions about your identity, or faced challenges in relationships, we're here to listen to you. If you find yourself weighed down by deep-seated emotional experiences, memories that are confusing, unclear, conflicted, or downright painful, we can help you. We understand the importance of processing and unpacking trauma. Sometimes you need to explore the deepest and darkest aspects of your experiences in order to find the inner strength that will push you forward. These moments can produce actual healing and growth which occurs most often in a safe therapeutic relationship with a therapist who listens carefully and responds with genuine acceptance and empathic understanding. Our approach centers on you, providing a nurturing environment where you can delve not only into topics like self-image, self-esteem, sexual and gender identity, and relationship difficulties, but also into those complex emotions and memories that might be lurking beneath the surface. Those who find our approach most beneficial often seek a space where they're free to be themselves without fear of judgment, a place to sift through their emotional landscapes with care and attention. If you're looking for a therapeutic experience where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your emotions, memories, and challenges at your own pace, then our client-centered approach might just be the right fit for you. Our psychologists offer individual, family, relationship and sex therapy that is affirming and sensitive to all aspects of diversity. We also offer affordable neuropsychological assessment and evaluations for attention, memory, learning, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and Autism.
