Welcome! I'm glad you are here. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have over 7 years of experience working in the mental health field, including working in a variety of settings such as in the office, in home, and in the community including schools from primary to high school. I have worked with clients from age 4 to adults with a multitude of presenting issues such as trauma, depression, self-harm, anxiety, anger, relationship and family conflicts, mild autism, intellectual/developmental disabilities, adjustment difficulties, and self-esteem. My counseling style is warm, supportive, and interactive.

Does your child have difficulty managing those ‘big feelings’? Do you notice changes in their mood or behaviors? Sometimes it’s hard for children to put their thoughts and emotions into words which often leads to confusion, frustration, fear, or anxiety for caregivers. It’s even harder for children and teens to understand it themselves! I love to imagine kids like smaller humans- they experience the same feelings of sadness, anger, grief, anxiety, fear, and happiness that we as adults do! Children, adolescents, and teens deserve support and guidance too.

Something is not quite right...you notice little things at first and then you get your child checked out because you just can't shake that parental feeling that something is wrong. And you hear the words... your child has Autism. Your world shatters...I know, I have been there not just once, but twice with my son and my daughter. In the Autism world there are acronyms like: SLP, OT, PT, OCD, ADHD,ODD & ABA. There are so many different therapies needed. It can be overwhelming for you, your family and your child. There is hope. There is life. Autism is a journey and we can help with your journey.

More than ever now we are talking about our mental health and the ways we are struggling to adjust to this ever changing environment. I have been blessed to have worked with so many different individuals from various ages and backgrounds. My goal is to change your perspective on therapy and provide you with a positive and helpful experience.

Currently Taking ONLY Premarital Couples - I'm a Italian – Ghanaian Immigrant & I understand what its like to face uncertainty. At young age I immigrated to the U.S and had to deal with all of life’s curveballs: parental divorce, adjusting to new culture, anxiety, depression, etc. However, I have learned Resilience takes vulnerability and courage. It takes believing you will make it out on the other side. I understand what it is like to face life’s pressures and questions: what if I fail, and what if I am not good enough? You are suffering silently & everyone expects you to be strong. Well, I am here to help.
