I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients presenting a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, social behavior, and school issues. I am also a nationally certified school counselor. My experience in the school setting has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to effectively help children, adolescents, and their families. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I employ a holistic and integrative counseling approach. I will tailor communications and treatment plans to meet the unique and specific needs of each client. In the first sessions, I focus on applying a person-centered approach which lays the foundation for a healthy client/counselor relationship. A trusting therapeutic relationship is important for creating a space where the client feels comfortable and safe to share his or her feelings and experiences. As therapy progresses, I will utilize alternate counseling strategies to assist the client in progressing forward. It takes courage to seek 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. I look forward to working with you!
