As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with compassion and strategic insight. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, with a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with their inner strength and purpose.
My approach is holistic and culturally responsive, particularly attuned to the unique experiences of women, young adults, and individuals facing midlife transitions.

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.
