I enjoy equipping teenagers and adults with tools to utilize as they navigate through unexpected life transitions such as divorce, blending families, depression and anxiety. I specialize in trauma, dissociative disorders, self harm and eating disorders. I am passionate about empowering people of all ages to embrace their "unique" selves and not to let their past define them. My goal is to create a trusting environment for open communication, so it can be transferred to relationships outside of the counseling setting. Call 770-892-6287 or email me.
