Change can be difficult—and at times overwhelming or even frightening—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and thoughtfully challenged to grow. Clients often describe me as caring, genuine, and direct. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, working alongside you toward meaningful goals while ensuring you are never treated as “just a number.”
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and South Carolina and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in Georgia. I also serve as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling and hold credentials as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. In addition, I am a Certified EMDR Provider and a Certified QPR Gatekeeper Trainer for Suicide Prevention. I currently serve as the Eastern District Representative for the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia (LPCA-GA).
I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University and my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Arkansas. With nearly 16 years of experience as a mental health provider, I primarily work with adults in outpatient settings, including military personnel, veterans, military spouses, healthcare professionals, and fellow mental health providers.
My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship and communication concerns, and work-related challenges. I have also had the privilege of presenting at regional, national, and international conferences and remain actively engaged in research and peer-reviewed publication—ensuring my clinical work is informed by both extensive experience and current best practices.
