Every counselor, if they are honest, is seeking a client who is intelligent, funny, motivated, and has strong interpersonal skills. I am happy to work with those people, but I specialize in the more difficult cases. I like working with people who have had bad counseling experiences in the past. Those who know that they need change, but are unsure how to go about making those changes. Counseling is a collaborative relationship. My goal is not to fix your life, but to come along side you and help you move forward one step at a time.

Therapy has a way of helping you grow from within. Therapist do not have the answers, just a way of helping you toward your own solutions. Sometimes just breathing can seem difficult & we begin to feel overwhelmed with daily life stressors. When we share these challenges, we open ourselves for change, growth, & hopefulness. Children in therapy can learn emotional awareness & coping to guide them to adulthood. Even if you have previous unfavorable experiences with therapy or you are apprehensive about the thought of entering therapy, I encourage you to contact us for more information on the benefits of therapeutic relationships.

I believe that individuals have the capacity to understand and change the aspects of their lives that are unsatisfying. It is my belief that, oftentimes, individuals move through life operating on assumptions and expectations that may be out of their conscious awareness. Working through this "unfinished business" of one's past paves the way for more satisfying relationships and overall contentment in life.

I am a local therapist in the Atlanta area. I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Mississippi State University. I began my journey of helping others and advocating for disenfranchised families at that time. After practicing social work for six years, I saw an even greater need with individuals suffering with mental health issues. I then returned to college and earned a Master's in Mental health Counseling degree, which I received from Capella University. I then began working with a diverse population within a therapeutic arena, to combat, cope with, and extinguish a wide variety of mental health issues.

Therapy is a judgement free zone where you can be free to express and explore yourself. Knowledge allows us to grow from within. You are the expert of YOU! I want to help you feel more content with who you are and be prepared to tackle all of the obstacles life has in store for you. I believe in the power of listening and understanding things from different points of view. I also believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is vital to the success of healing and the overall treatment plan. I believe in open and continuous communication. I am a cheerleader, a mentor, a coach and an educator.
