First and foremost, I fundamentally believe in the power of the human spirit and that there is always hope for something more. I believe that you are capable of healing, growing and finding relief from the pressures that hound you. If you have the desire, the proper support, and the opportunity to discover yourself in new ways, it is remarkable what you can accomplish — even as unperfect as we are.

To help you along this journey, I combine traditional counseling and talk-therapy with creative interventions tailored specifically to you. This will help you feel more comfortable in the process and more fully yourself throughout the counseling journey. My natural style as a therapist is a blend of being a skilled professional, a long-known caring friend, and a creative educator to teach you new things about yourself and your relationship with the world. I show up human-to-human with no pretense. 

Without question, finding a therapist with whom you can form a good and trusting relationship is vital. Establishing such a relationship allows for an easier path to the tremendous growth, healing, and personal insight that are available to you. Working together, we can provide you with the tools and skills necessary to reach your goals, including a greater sense of well-being and overall emotional health.

I have had, and continue to have, the privilege of working with people across issues and concerns, though I specialize in a few specific areas: Grief and Loss, Couples Counseling, Anxiety Issues & Performance Coaching. Related to the former, I have specialized training from Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA. My time there was spent working with individuals & their loved ones dealing with a Cancer diagnosis in an integrative model. This means I also believe in the power of complimentary care.

As loss extends beyond the end of life, my training covers the whole spectrum of issues that come with big change. Subsequently, I have a deep passion for helping individuals and families through one of the roughest periods of their lives.

I earned my Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Additionally, I’m a certified in administering the NADA protocol of AcuWellness and additionally trained in Sports and Performance Coaching.

It’s a challenge to get a sense of personality through these pages, while still trying to share technical information. If you’d like to learn more about me beyond the facts, please visit my personal website or call me.
