About

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and certified professional counselor supervisor (CPCS) presently residing in Georgia with over 25 years of experience working as a clinical therapist and executive leader in the behavioral health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: self-esteem issues, severe persistent mental illnesses, addiction and co-dependency challenges, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. Throughout my career I have helped thousands of individuals and families to overcome life challenges and gain a sense of purpose and empowerment in their lives.

My counseling style is engaging, genuine, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, sensitivity, empathy and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, as I firmly believe labels limit our human potential. My approach combines an eclectic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing counseling. I will tailor our discussions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific goals.

It takes tremendous courage to trust a therapist and I promise I will honor and protect that commitment as we go on the journey together of empowerment and reaching your fullest human potential. If you are ready to take the first step and begin that journey, I am here to encourage, support and empower you as we face those challenges together!


I look forward to working and going on the healing journey with you!
