Most people come for therapy with curiosity and skepticism. My goal is to gain your trust so that you will benefit a great deal from our work together to feel better and whole. I specialize in Trauma Informed Therapy, PTSD, Relationship Issues and Parenting. I offer on line sessions at a mutually convenient time. I work with adolescents, young adults and adults on a variety of issues.

My counseling career started at my church after obtaining a Master's Degree in Arts, focusing on Christian Counseling-Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counseling, followed by a Ph.D. in Divinity. I furthered my education with a Master's Degree in Science, specializing in Counseling and Psychology-Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Currently, I am an independent psychotherapist at Channeled Paths where I take pleasure in assisting clients from diverse backgrounds to feel valued, heard, and joyful.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia with 20+ years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings addressing issues relating to parenting, parent/child relationships, divorce, grief/loss, marital conflicts, behavior, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, communication, trauma, adjustment/life changes, etc.

I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, utilizing a variety of modalities to best serve the needs of my client. The modalities that are proven to be most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Rational emotive therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. It is my goal to help you to live your most fulfilling life by enabling you to be your true self. You will spend time exploring ways to grow and increase self-acceptance along with discussing the issues that you are dealing with. I will offer acceptance, empathy, and guidance as you work on personal growth and positive change.

Life doesn’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you simply want to understand yourself better, strengthen your relationships, or stop feeling like you’re just getting through each day. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together at your pace in a supportive, compassionate environment focused on meaningful, lasting change.

I have a Masters degree in Social Work. I have worked in healthcare for 15+ years.

My focus is life transitions. Whether it be coping with a disability, a recent medical diagnosis, grief and loss of a friend or family member, or transitioning to the next stage in your own life, I'm here to help you navigate complex systems and complex emotions,

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults and couples navigate relationship difficulties, trauma and PTSD, and women’s and maternal mental health. I have a special interest in infertility and TTC, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, postpartum concerns, and the transition to motherhood. I also work extensively with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.

Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
