About My Practice

My path toward becoming a therapist has been shaped by both personal and professional experiences that deepened my appreciation for human connection and resilience.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia in 1999. After several years working in secondary and early childhood education, I felt called to return to my first passion — psychology and mental health.

In 2020, I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University, where I was honored with the Ali McNichols Outstanding Graduate Student Award and inducted into Phi Kappa Phi. My clinical internship at Grady Behavioral Health allowed me to work closely with patients experiencing schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety, and major depression — experiences that strengthened my clinical skills and deepened my empathy.

Now, as a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, I consider it a true privilege to sit with clients as they transform their lives for the better. I work confidently with complex cases and connect well with both men and women in therapy. My clients often express appreciation for my authenticity, my deep understanding of their struggles, and my direct yet caring approach that helps them feel supported while also empowered to grow.
