Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My professional experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I tailor treatment to meet each client's specific needs, strengths, and goals.

I earned my education from the University of Georgia, where I developed a strong foundation in social work practice, mental health treatment, and advocacy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!
