- LPC
I am a licensed counselor in Georgia with 17 years of experience working with youth, adolescents and parents in the elementary and middle school setting as a school counselor. I have experience in helping children and teens with anger management, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I have been a nationally certified counselor since 2006. My therapeutic approach combines client-centered and solution focused. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and grace. Life is hard. We all need help at times finding the light in the darkness. I like to say that I have ears that listen and a heart that cares. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to achieve therapeutic goals by providing an engaging and supportive therapeutic relationship. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. I am excited and eager to go on this journey with you!

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.
