Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Alpharetta, GA


I am passionate about working with students, adults, couples and families to help them strengthen emotional wellness, build confidence, strengthen coping skills and build healthier relationships. I help clients to navigate anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, life transitions, substance use and abuse, relationship concerns, cultural identity, men's issues, and spiritual integration.

I use personalized, evidence-based counseling to help clients understand how distorted perceptions and thoughts can contribute to painful feelings and unwanted behaviors. I also build practical skills you can use daily to manage stress, improve relationships, and create meaningful change.

I create a welcoming, judgment-free space where my clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I approach each person with empathy, respect, and personalized care. Connect with me to begin working toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. Let's Ascend!

When trying to do it all yourself is no longer working....stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions can feel heavy and burdensome. Would you like to put that down? You need understanding, insight and someone to dig in with what is going on within all the layers that make you...YOU. We all need help sometimes to work through expected and unexpected life events. You may be surprised at how you are responding or that you are researching treatment options period.
