About me
I am a professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, family and interpersonal conflict, self-esteem issues, spirituality, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse and grief and loss.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not judge. My integrative approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
