I have worked in the Mental Health field for 16 years in several capacities from inpatient hospitals to Outpatient treatment programs. I have experience in the areas of drug and alcohol addiction treatment, Depression, Anger management and Co-parenting counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I utilize 12 steps in addictions treatment along with other interventions such as CBT, DBT, Existential Therapy and Solution-focused brief therapy. My method is to employ the most appropriate approach for each individual's unique situation.
I make it my priority to be genuine and authentic while ensuring that every client gets something from every session. Mental Health is an important part of our lives as humans and should not be taken lightly. I will ensure that I treat each and every individual with empathy and respect.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
