About

Welcome to the first step of your journey. I believe as a counselor my role is to walk this journey with you. I obtained my Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology in 2012 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with all age groups on a myriad of issues including trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and addiction. I use an evidence based model with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thoughts determine behaviors). I incorporate mindfulness in my practice as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I approach counseling with a holistic view, one that is rooted in emotional, physical and spiritual balance. I am licensed in the state of Georgia. One of my goals as a counselor is to help you move forward to living your best life.
