Selfcare is not selfish. Give yourself permission to place the oxygen mask over your own face first, now breath. Inhale. Exhale. It takes a ton of commendable courage to reach out for a shoulder to lean on. It is perfectly ok to recognize when you are operating on empty. You cannot pour from an empty cup. It is perfectly ok to receive, especially when you are the one who is constantly sacrificing and giving. It is time for you to pour back into yourself. Human beings are not designed to be an island. Give yourself the gift of healing and recovery. I will meet you where you are and help you along your healing and recovery journey.

I have been in the field of behavioral health since 2001. I specialize in treating mental health and chemical addictions simultaneously. I am a board approved Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with board approval to serve mental health needs across the USA.

I am an internationally and locally Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ICAADC-CAADC) with board approval to serve around the world and Georgia. I am certified nationally and locally as a Master Addictions Counselor (MAC-CMAC) with board approval to serve across the USA and Georgia.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Trauma Focused, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy etc. I embrace an eclectic approach to provision of therapeutic services. I believe in meeting people where they are while embracing their cultural beliefs and practices.

You deserve peace of mind. You deserve to be the best version of your true authentic self. I am willing to empower you with taking back your voice, power, freedom and identity. YOU DESERVE HEALING AND WELLNESS. YOU ARE WORTHY. Reach out for day, evening and weekend appointments.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
