About

In working as a licensed counselor, I strive to bring a blend of experience, energy, compassion, concern, and education to the counseling process, in working with those I serve. I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families for over 10 years. I have years of experience with mental and behavioral health, as well as substance abuse. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Charleston Southern University and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia Southern University. I am currently a Licensed Processional Counselor in Georgia and a National Board Certified Counselor. I have worked as a Therapist and also served as a Clinical Director, providing counseling and treatment on both an outpatient and inpatient level.

I would describe my approach in counseling as one that is client centered and individualized, filled with empathy and compassion. I am also direct and work with my clients to help them achieve their goals. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, but also utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I like to focus on client’s strengths and help build upon that to deal with crisis situations or any past trauma that one may be working through.

On a personal note, I was raised in South Carolina, so I love the water and seafood, as my own personal ways to unwind. I am also married and my husband serves in the military.

I look forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your goals and grow to better love yourself.
