Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’m glad you’re here. As your therapist, it's my intent to guide you toward deeper understanding of yourself and give you the opportunity to process your emotions in a safe, empathetic environment. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can take up so much space in your life that it makes it hard to have patience, connect with loved ones, and focus on your responsibilities and passions. In therapy with me, we can gently challenge unhealthy thought patterns and establish healthier coping skills to lessen the power these issues hold over you.

I love working with children and adolescents! I can support you and your child walk through developmental changes and lifestyle transitions including new schools, anxiety and worry, family changes, parent divorce, trauma and loss. Often times, these changes create BIG feelings that can be hard for kids and teens to understand and express. I enjoy helping young people understand their feelings and partnering with parents to help their child learn to express them in a healthy way.

Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! The most important part of counseling is the relationship, and I strive to be honest and supportive while challenging my clients to grow. In my experience, people come to counseling because they are in emotional pain, feel stuck, or want help achieving their dreams and goals. We all face painful changes and transitions in life, such as relationship issues, substance use, self-worth, stress, identity issues, lack of connection or meaning, traumas, and grief. It is natural for these changes to bring up issues from the past, and counseling can help you cope in the present moment.

Life is full of challenges. Some challenges are easier to tackle and we might even welcome them. Yet, other situations are difficult to manage and we may not be sure how to move forward. As a psychologist, I specialize in helping those with whom I work to make sense of their world and the challenges we often face. I place particular emphasis on how each of us constructs our diverse perspectives and the ways we interact with those around us. I value the strengths of each individual and work to facilitate self- understanding to enhance the quality of their life.

Waitlist for new clients
As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I work to help my clients discover their own guiding voice, to listen with intent, and to cultivate love and acceptance of their truest nature. I work with adult clients to help deconstruct narratives that no longer serve them and get closer to the truth of who they are. Issues like sexuality, spirituality, existentialism, unconscious belief systems, family and partnership, and many more of life's great challenges guide the work of self-exploration.

Life can often be difficult and emotions can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it feels as though the rug has been pulled out from underneath us. Maybe you're dealing with your own mental health, you have a loved one struggling with substance use, you're navigating infertility, or you're having a hard time setting boundaries. Whatever it is that has lead you here, I'm glad you are reaching out. I hope to provide a space to you that honors your story, facilitates personal growth and allows you to be authentic. I believe that each of us deserve to find healing and that includes you. Asking for help is one of the bravest things we can do.

Many people struggle to find meaning and connection in a time that increasingly demands productivity above all else. They may feel misunderstood by their older support system. Perhaps they feel a pressure or even despair about moving into their next phase of life (climate change, anyone?). If you're searching for meaning, joy, and growth during this time, I am here to partner with you.

I offer experienced, confidential counseling services in person at my office in Athens and online across the state of Georgia.
If you are seeking a warm, down to earth, feminist minded therapist who’s good at what she does, you may find me to be a good fit. I am someone who "gets" stuff like family dysfunction, violence against women, and LGBTQ+ health from day one. There is no fear of judgement or condemnation with me. Only support for finding authentic happiness, defined by you. Isn't it time you stopped going through the motions on your own, not knowing anything better, guessing what normal is? You deserve informed, effective support. I've helped myself. I've helped countless others. And, I can help you, too.

What can therapy offer you? When we enter the therapeutic alliance together, I show up as my most curious self, delicately attending to the pain, joy, anxieties, questions, themes, and unknowns that live deep within your own consciousness (and lots of times, unconscious structures.) Together, we can explore the deeper questions life pushes us towards about our behaviors, thought patterns, purpose, existence, and what it means to live and die "awake.”

"Why does anybody tell a story? It does indeed have something to do with faith. Faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically." L'Engle Join me in telling your story and we'll narrate your current stressors into a more meaningful life. I offer calm and focus as I engage clients and address their issues. Historically, I provided seven years of bereavement counseling. During that time I comprehended the nature of grief present in life's transitions in adjusting our expectations of ourselves and relationships.
