Owner / Licensed Clinician

Licensed Professional Counselor | Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor | Master Addiction Counselor | Certified Hypnotherapist

Taking the first step to find a therapist can feel overwhelming—like a leap into the unknown. You might be unsure about where to start, who to trust, or whether change is even possible. I want you to know: you're not alone in this. Therapy is a space where you can exhale, be seen and heard without judgment, and begin to heal—on your terms.

I work with adolescents, adults, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are navigating some of life’s most complex and painful challenges—trauma, addiction and recovery, anxiety and panic, identity exploration, and the deep exhaustion that can come with codependency and depression. I support BIPOC clients and those facing intersectional stressors tied to race, gender, and/or sexuality.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, affirming, and deeply respectful. I believe that you are the expert of your own life—my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and care. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe enough to explore, unpack, and grow. Whether you're managing a mood disorder, rebuilding after heartbreak, struggling with addiction, setting boundaries in relationships, unpacking trauma, or reconnecting with yourself, I’m here to help you move forward.

I use an eclectic, individually tailored approach grounded in humanistic values. I draw from a variety of modalities including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused interventions, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy. This allows me to meet you where you are—whether you need practical tools, deeper insight, or both.

With over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance use treatment, I’ve worked in nearly every setting imaginable—from outpatient clinics to community-based services, from clinical director roles to launching and leading substance abuse programs in underserved neighborhoods. My work has always centered on empowerment, cultural competence, and helping clients build lives that align with who they truly are.

In addition to direct clinical care, I offer supervision to emerging professionals and provide agency-level trainings on topics like ethics, cultural humility, de-escalation, and healthy relationships. I am also passionate about program development and have led several initiatives that brought accessible behavioral health services to communities in need.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Trenton State College, a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from the University of Baltimore, and a PhD in Psychology with a specialization in Gender and Sexual Fluidity from Northcentral University. I am licensed in the state of Georgia as a Professional Counselor and hold certifications as a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, Master Addiction Counselor, Certified Addiction Counselor Level II, and Certified Hypnotherapist.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m passionate about mentoring, lifelong learning, and making mental health care feel more human. If you're looking for a therapist who will honor your story, challenge you with compassion, and hold space for your transformation, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Let’s begin the work—together.
