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.

If your child is struggling with big feelings, hard behaviors, or school-related stress, you have found a safe place. I have worked alongside kids, teens, and their families since

2005, creating a playful, welcoming space where they can finally feel understood. I draw from play therapy, AutPlay, and creative approaches tailored to your child's

personality and developmental stage. I also partner with caregivers, teachers, and other supports so your child is not doing this work alone. My goal is to help them

understand themselves better, build confidence, and feel more in control of their emotions and choices.

I'm a therapist, punk, and human. I help late diagnosed (or suspecting!) ADHD/AuDHD 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!

I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, respectful, and individualized care. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and feel truly heard.

My background and training have equipped me to use a variety of evidence-based approaches to support mental health and well-being. I believe in working together as a team, ensuring that your voice and preferences are always part of the decision-making process.

Above all, I am here to support you in a way that feels approachable, practical, and aligned with your personal goals.
