Hello! I am a licensed counselor with a passion for working with people going through all kinds of transition, change, and distress.

Licensed Professional Counselor in Cumming, GA

About My Clients

Are you struggling with racing thoughts, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or find your mood dictates your life? I know what it's like to feel like your mind just won't work with you. Therapy provides a space for you to process these difficult feelings in a space with no judgements. You never need to be afraid to open up in therapy and I understand how hard it is to take that first step. I hope this reassures you that reaching out is the first step in a journey well worth the effort.

My Background and Approach

I utilize a range of evidence based approaches that allows me to tailor my interventions to the specific needs and preferences of my clients. At my core I view people as a complex system of strengths and challenges that all come together to make up who we are. I love having deep conversations about values and life goals while also finding practical ways to apply this deeper understanding. I work with couples, families, and individuals dealing with grief, mood disorders like bipolar, and life changes. I have a special focus on couples therapy, grief, autism and neurodiversity, and I offer LGBTQ+ affirming care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself and work through what matters most to you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is capable of change and that willingness to do so is the first step on one of the most meaningful journeys we can take of inner growth. Life is hard and there is no right way to navigate it. My job is not to tell people how to do it but to be a passenger on this journey. I don't pretend that I have all the answers but I do know that the world could use more empathy, support, and true kindness. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, diving into a good book, and indulging in my nerdy interests. I also have a therapy dog named Blue, who joins me in sessions, bringing an extra layer of warmth and companionship. I’m dedicated to creating a supportive environment as we navigate challenges together and work towards personal growth.
