About My Clients

I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and relationship challenges—many of whom come from marginalized communities and are seeking a safe, affirming space to heal. My clients are often caregivers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people of color, and those who’ve carried emotional burdens in silence for far too long. They may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, but they are also deeply resilient and ready to explore a new way of showing up.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Georgia and Ohio with over nine years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions, grief, identity exploration, and emotional healing. My background includes work in hospice care, community mental health, and advocacy for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I take a client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally affirming approach to therapy—believing that each person is the expert of their own experience. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, reclaim their voice, and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply rooted in the belief that healing is possible when we are given the space to be our full selves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing happens in spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued without condition. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space where clients—especially those from marginalized backgrounds—can safely explore their truth, reclaim their voice, and build a life aligned with their values. I believe in the strength and resilience within each person, and I honor the courage it takes to show up for yourself, even in the midst of pain. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each client’s lived experience. I walk alongside my clients not as the expert of their lives, but as a supportive guide as they do the work of remembering who they are.
