Intro

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fort Valley State University and my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with several years of experience providing outpatient therapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can build practical coping skills, gain greater self-awareness, and develop healthier emotional patterns that support lasting growth and emotional well-being.

How would you describe your approach to care?

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in practical strategies that help clients navigate everyday challenges. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strengths-based therapy, and motivational interviewing, while tailoring care to each individual’s goals and experiences. I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in the process. Together, we focus on building insight, developing coping skills, and creating meaningful changes that support emotional balance and long-term well-being.

What should be expected in the first session?

During our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know one another and talking about what has brought you to therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to share your concerns, goals, and any experiences that feel important to you. I’ll also explain how therapy works and answer any questions you may have. The first session is meant to feel supportive and comfortable as we begin building a foundation for the work we’ll do together.
