Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Rome, GA

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist for many different age groups. I served in the U.S. Army for 20 years before retiring. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I also use Mindfulness exercises in my counseling.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you didn't feel like you had a voice? Not having a voice can be caused by several different factors. Ranging from experiencing past trauma, daily stresses of life (i.e. relationships, work, etc.), symptoms of depression, and anxiety. It can be difficult to get to a point in your life where its okay to speak your truth. My goal is to assist you with finding your voice and identifying your truth. This will help you in getting to the next phase in your life, in spite of the circumstances that you have experienced or are currently experiencing. I specialize in working with women who are looking to find their true self wherever they are on their journey.

I’m passionate about helping people feel more like themselves again. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your emotions, energy, or focus are out of sync. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that brings stability and peace back into your life.

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!

As a clinical psychologist, I work closely with clients to identify specific goals to reduce distress and learn concrete strategies to manage anxiety and depression. Rapport with a client is huge, so making sure that clients feel empowered to give feedback about what is working or not working for them in therapy is a pillar of our therapeutic relationship.

My ideal client is someone ready to face life’s challenges and grow through self-awareness and healing. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or grief and want to improve self-esteem, relationships, and emotional control. They’re seeking support, practical tools, and a safe space to better understand themselves and build meaningful connections. Their goal is to feel more empowered, balanced, and capable of living a more fulfilling life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Listening Room, where I provide therapy for adults navigating stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and court-related or high-stress situations.

My approach is supportive, direct, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity. I create a space where you can be heard without judgment, while also working together to develop practical tools for real-life change.

I offer virtual sessions, with limited in-person availability in Miami and Broward.
