As a licensed therapist in Georgia with over two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional focus centers on helping clients work through addiction, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem.

I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate therapeutic environment where individuals can explore difficult emotions like isolation, guilt, and shame. My approach emphasizes self-love and personal growth, guiding clients toward understanding their inner strengths and developing healthier emotional patterns.

Through evidence-based practices and a client-centered approach, I support individuals in transforming painful experiences into opportunities for healing and self-discovery. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering genuine support and professional guidance as you navigate your unique journey toward emotional wellness.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
