Clinical director and owner

A licensed clinical social worker, I provide psycho-therapeutic services to support emotional and relational well-being. I draw on a range of psychodynamic models in the therapeutic process (including IFS, AEDP, RET, SFBT, schema therapy, and DBT).

In my work, I have assisted clients in improving mood, decreasing anxiety, developing relationship skills, processing trauma or grief, and building confidence and independence. I also use proven techniques for emotionally relating and improving communication to aid intimate couples in crisis.

After graduating from the University of Georgia in Social Work in 2012, I spent my first post graduate years working in psychiatric hospitals where I focused on acute mental illness and supporting families in crisis. After gaining extensive experience in mental health management, I transitioned into a private practice to follow my passion for psychotherapy work.

As a clinical director, I work closely with associates to develop an individualized treatment process for each client and foster an environment of acceptance, evolution and fulfillment. I welcome you to work with me or one of my associates to apply transformative approaches to your issues.

As a therapist, I treat adolescents and adults walking through a challenging part of their lives: instilling hope, building on strengths and capacities, and working together on goals to move forward. I see clients for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relational issues, difficulty with self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions. I explore areas of spirituality, identity development, and career planning for those who feel stuck or inauthentic.

I use a person-centered approach, using evidence-based methods to frame our work together (including CBT, narrative, existential, IFS, and humanistic models). I provide a warm, inviting space for you to feel heard, valued, and accepted for exactly who you are. I bring connection and creativity into the therapeutic environment and I feel called to partner with others to find relief from the weight that they are carrying.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of North Georgia along with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My experience in multiple settings, including private practice, community clinics, summer camps, and educational spaces widens my vision for clients to include their environment and their life’s work.

Therapist

I enjoy working with adults and teen to navigate the difficulties that come with life. I’m dedicated to providing a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build self-awareness, and develop the tools to create meaningful change. Whether you’re working through mood concerns, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, substance use, or simply trying to understand yourself better, I’d be honored to be part of your journey. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you — because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I draw from a range of evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, blending techniques to fit your unique goals and values. What that looks like in practice: practical coping strategies, stronger communication skills, and real insight you can carry beyond the therapy room.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Georgia. My background includes community mental health and court-mandated substance abuse treatment — experience that has deepened my commitment to meeting clients where they are, without judgment..
