- LMHC, LPC
As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on empowering clients through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I have deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
My therapeutic practice focuses on helping individuals develop stronger self-love, improve communication skills, and heal attachment-related challenges. I understand the nuanced intersections of identity and mental wellness, particularly for marginalized communities. Through a collaborative, affirming approach, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to walk alongside my clients, honoring their unique journeys and strengths. My commitment is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that respects each individual's lived experiences and emotional needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
