About

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. After immigrating from South Africa I completed my Graduate degree at the University of Florida with an emphasis in Rehabilitation Counseling and Counselor Education. I then relocated to Atlanta and accepted a position as Primary Therapist at a County Children’s Shelter where I provided services for more than three years to families at risk, as well as the troubled teens who were residents there. Upon leaving the shelter I took a Lead position to establish an outpatient counseling center for Charter Peachford Hospital in Gwinnett County where I assisted individuals struggling with mood disorders and trauma related issues and provided psychotherapy to patients who had been discharged, and in need of aftercare.

I currently provide therapeutic services including Psychotherapy for individuals and groups and facilitate Bereavement and Loss Groups, Groups centered on Trauma and Recovery, therapeutic/educational services for the Developmentally Disabled community. The goal of all of these groups is to develop tools to thrive in our complicated world.

I enjoy working with a diverse cliental to extend compassion and empathy, to establish a safe connection allowing for growth, healing, and a greater understanding of one's self.
