Meet the Team

I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with over 10 years of experience dedicated to serving diverse and often underserved populations. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Paine College and my master’s degree in community counseling from Clark Atlanta University. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing homelessness, substance abuse, mental health challenges (including depression and anxiety), women’s issues, life transitions, and co-occurring conditions. My work also spans supporting those with and at risk for HIV, veterans, pregnant and parenting teens, as well as individuals with developmental disabilities.

I take pride in employing a creative approach to therapy—one that blends evidence-based practices with innovative techniques to help clients discover new pathways to healing and growth. My goal is to empower every client to embrace their unique journey and to find strength and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

My dad taught me to try and “walk” in someone’s shoes in order to better understand why they act a certain way. I have used this approach plus my Christian training in my work as an LPC. My desire is to help anyone who wants to make changes in their life, but I have developed specialized training in couples therapy, PTSD treatment, and anxiety treatment. After 72 years, I have enough experience to relate to lots of other issues that prevent joy and happiness in life!
