About

I am licensed in Georgia with 26 years of professional work experience. I have worked in various areas such as a hospital, office, residential facilities, group homes, and in homes. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with trauma, grief, and loss, motivation, improving self esteem, and building self-confidence. I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will customize our talks and treatment goals to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seek help takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I keep a schedule that hopefully can accommodate everyone – early morning, afternoon, and late night (8am-1:00am)!
