My Approach to Helping
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia with 26 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients for many years of all ages with a realm of mental health issues and diagnoses. Some of the issues I focus on within my many years of practice are stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am extremely open-minded regarding your own beliefs and background and what contributes to your belief that you are a wonderful human being. I will always be here to reinforce your strengths and overcome your fears, and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you through the therapeutic process.
