About My Clients
You are the epitome of the This Is Fine Dog GIF. Cue deep narrator voice - "Things were absolutely not fine." You're overwhelmed and over it. You are just trying to navigate your own world while also living in a larger one that can sometimes feel like a raging dumpster fire. I provide lived experience and trained expertise to help my clients gain control of their depression, anxiety, panic, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, people pleasing, stress and burn out.
My Background and Approach
I have a background in community counseling and group private practice where I've supported a variety of individuals. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy treatment that takes into account each clients specific needs and desires. These include CBT, DBT, Mindful Self Compassion, ACT and IFS. Since 2021, I've focused on providing adults 18+ with support, validation, compassion and tangible tools as they navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, burnout, perfectionism, and relationship difficulties. Before becoming a Florida transplant here in Atlanta, I received my bachelor's degree in Public Relations from the University of Florida in 2014 and received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Asbury Theological Seminary in 2021. My approach is one that involves compassion, humor and collaboration. I consider you the expert on you. I’m here to help you gain insight, feel those feelings, and make the changes that can be difficult and scary to make on your own.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I know from personal experience (a therapist who couldn't afford therapy, yes - we exist and yes - it's messed up) that therapy is a privilege that not everyone easily has access to. That's why I offer sliding scale options for folx who cannot afford my full fee, and I don't take their insurance. In the eternal words of the 1999 classic All Star by Smash Mouth (millennial here) "My world's on fire, how about yours?" I fully acknowledge the dumpster fire that is the world we are living in AND also acknowledge that we all deserve to find joy and fulfillment in our lives. I want to help you do that while also acknowledging I, too, am right there with you. I am open to working with folx of all political beliefs AND will always acknowledge and call out the oppressive systems at play in this country and world that are tearing down the mental health of the human race. I am married with plant and dog babies - please, that's all I can handle right now.
