I am a board-licensed professional counselor for the State of Georgia with 16 years of experience providing individual and family therapy to help combat life stressors and daily challenges that frequently complicate the path to fulfillment. I am committed to partnering with you to help you grow and change through the therapeutic process, so the road to recovery isn't as cumbersome as attempting it alone.

My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began in 2004-2005 when I completed over 1700 hours of clinical experience at The Methodist Home for Children and Youth in Macon, Georgia. This experience, along with my subsequent work in various private practice and community mental health settings over the past 16 years, has equipped me with the skills and passion to help clients of all ages regain control and thrive.
My goals for you
