Life can feel incredibly heavy at times. You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply worn down by what you've been carrying. My hope is to offer a warm and safe space where you don't have to navigate it alone — a space where every part of you is welcome and supported.
I'm deeply passionate about the power of therapy and the transformation that happens when we feel truly seen and heard. I love helping my clients reconnect with their strengths, embrace their authentic selves, and grow toward deeper self-acceptance.
My Approach
I take an integrative approach to therapy and tailor sessions to your unique needs. My work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. These approaches can help you process difficult experiences, shift unhelpful beliefs, better understand your emotional patterns, and build long-term coping skills that support your well-being.
Areas of Focus
Background
I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Mercer University. Through my education and personal healing journey, I've found a deep passion for walking beside others as they grow and transform in meaningful ways.
Beyond the Office
Outside of therapy, I love to travel, explore new places, and discover great restaurants — I'm a total foodie and enjoy finding a good cup of coffee wherever I go. I'm also an animal lover and feel most at peace when I'm practicing yoga or spending time in nature. These experiences help keep me grounded, and I enjoy supporting my clients in discovering what nourishes and centers them, too.
I recognize the courage it takes to make the first step toward seeking therapy. Whatever challenges you're facing, I'm here to help. Thank you for being here.
I'm so glad you're here, and I'm honored to be part of your healing journey. I believe that seeking support is one of the bravest steps a person can take.
I value the importance and effectiveness of a warm, authentic therapeutic relationship and believe that true healing begins when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is collaborative and engaging—I strive to create a judgment-free, comfortable, and safe space where clients of all ages feel supported.
My Approach
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and I use an integrative therapeutic style that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. I tailor my interventions to each individual, recognizing that every person has their own story, strengths, and needs.
Areas of Focus
Background
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University.
I've gained meaningful experience working in both a residential eating disorder treatment facility and a crisis stabilization inpatient psychiatric hospital. I currently work with individuals, couples, and also enjoy leading groups.
My Philosophy
Transparency is a core value in my practice—I believe it fosters trust and helps create real, lasting change. My goal is to bring a warm, outgoing presence into each session, meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them move toward where they want to be.
Beyond the Office
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my pup, family, and close friends. I value a healthy balance between travel and being a homebody—finding joy both in new experiences and in the comfort of familiar routines. This balance mirrors the work I do with clients: helping them create lives that feel grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are. I believe mental health is not about perfection, but about building awareness, connection, and sustainable ways to care for ourselves through all seasons of life.
