My Approach to Helping
With nearly a decade of experience, I offer individuals holistic care that focuses on three components of good health—the mind, body, and spirit—guiding you beyond symptom management toward true healing. Instead of teaching you how to tolerate and manage illness, my purpose is to promote healing by treating the root causes. Through education, skills, connection, and lifestyle changes, I believe people can reclaim their health and regain control over their own wellbeing, and my goal is for you to leave therapy feeling self-empowered and resilient.
My therapeutic approach is directive, solution-focused, psychoeducational, and collaborative. Sessions focus on empowering you with the knowledge, courage, experience, and self-confidence needed to take charge of your own health and create lasting change. This is accomplished through the exploration of beliefs, behaviors, coping skills, emotions, experiences, life patterns, lifestyle habits, relationships, traumas, and environmental factors.
For a much more comprehensive list of my specialties and more information about my approach, perspective, and the therapy process itself, please visit my website. I provide therapy virtually, so I accept clients from all over Georgia. If you have any questions or need resources, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
For most of my life, I struggled with chronic and severe mental and physical illness. I sought help from many health professionals, but I was met with either skepticism and invalidation, or they just did not know how to help me. It seemed as though I had tried everything to find relief or a cure--every medicine under the sun, supplements, therapy, surgery, herbs, acupuncture, energy healing, salt baths, infrared sauna, etc., but nothing worked. Finally, I decided to take charge of my own health by educating and experimenting on myself, and, through my own journey, I gained the knowledge I needed to empower myself and live a healthier, happier life. This also gave me the ability to delve deeper into the internal, psychological work that I desperately needed, and my world began to open up. Needless to say, I chose this career path, so I could provide others with the help I could not find, and I continue to commit to my own personal and professional learning, growth, and transformation for both myself and my clients.
