I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor originally from Augusta, GA. I graduated from Paine College and Mercer University, I began my career with an enriching internship at Positive Impact Health Centers. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in addiction treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and with individuals experiencing psychotic disorders.
In 2019, I became fully licensed and continued to grow at Georgia Psychological Treatment Center, where I deepened my understanding of the human psyche and embraced a more intuitive approach to healing. This path led me to earn a Master Life Coach Certification and a Master’s in Divinity, focusing on consciousness, spirituality, energy healing, and transpersonal psychology.
Along the way, I’ve gathered meaningful experiences and powerful tools, including training in EMDR, to help support trauma healing. As a transpersonal therapist, I integrate the mind, body, and soul into my work to help you achieve your goals and come into deeper harmony with your Self.
I received my Masters in Social Work with focus in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University. I have extensive experience in the field of Maternal Mental Health, particularly with obstetrics, postpartum emotional experiences, fertility challenges, loss, and supporting a partner during difficult times. I have worked in healthcare systems, startups, and corporate environments; I sympathize with the stressors related. I firmly believe that awareness is where healing begins.
