As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals as they navigate complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on supporting clients as they face challenges related to depression, anxiety, social isolation, and life transitions.
With a deep commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, I specialize in supporting individuals exploring self-love, personal purpose, and healing from shame and guilt. My approach is compassionate and affirming, designed to help clients build resilience, develop meaningful connections, and cultivate inner strength. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop strategies for personal growth. I believe in honoring each person's unique journey and supporting their inherent capacity for healing and transformation.

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.
