LGBT therapists in Newnan, GA

I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Mercer University. I received my master's in clinical mental health from Mercer as well. I have been in practice for almost 10 years in one capacity or another. I have my LPC in the state of Georgia.

I have been practicing for over 10 years. Therapy and helping others is my purpose.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy providing individuals with support and guidance as they learn to understand and accept their gender and/or sexual identity. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples as they explore consensual non-monogamy and how to effectively navigate an open relationship.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

The foundation of my practice is based on the respect I have for my clients, and my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. As a trained and experienced therapist, I am not only technically objective, but also provide you with emotional nourishment and assistance as you work through problem areas in your life. Psychotherapy is about growth and transformation and equips you to overcome challenges impacting your family, job or relationships. My areas of expertise include addiction, relationship or job-related issues, depression, anxiety and stress. I employ solution focused therapy based on psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I am also a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to evaluate employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up, testing, and aftercare.

Life can change in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or the challenges that come with a major life transition, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. You don't have to figure it all out on your own, and meaningful healing is possible. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+, and major life transitions so they can regain a sense of stability, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with greater confidence. With more than 10 years of experience, I work with teenagers, adults, and seniors, creating a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

I'm a therapist, punk, and human. I help late diagnosed (or suspecting!) ADHD women and AFAB folks work through the shame tapes (like "I'm lazy" or "I'm not good enough" or "everyone can do this except me") to get to empowerment. I am also trained in EMDR and group therapy facilitation for trauma processing and resilience building. Let's rise together!

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is showing up before you even know what you want out of it. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or like something needs to change but you can't quite name what, that's exactly where we start. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and the kind of life experiences that feel too big to sort out alone. You don't need to come in with clear goals. We'll figure that out together.

Many people spend years carrying anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, or overwhelming emotions while continuing to show up for everyone else. On the outside it may seem like you're managing, but inside you feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to navigate that alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience, I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.
