I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I provide a supportive, open, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore and process difficult feelings, stuck points in thinking, and develop increased self-acceptance. As a therapist, I partner with you and agree to hold space for your hope and ability for growth while we work on decreasing emotional suffering and work towards cultivating the fulfilling life you want for yourself. I believe in fostering genuine connections with my clients in order to allow for a therapeutic relationship conducive for both compassionate support and gentle challenges when needed. In my work as a therapist, I specialize in utilizing person-centered, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT approaches. Through these approaches, we can process painful emotions, identify current barriers that promote unhealthy patterns in your life, and practice implementing more effective coping skills that will lead to increased balance, life satisfaction, and peace. Together, we can work to decrease the way anxiety and depression interferes in your life, address interpersonal/relational stressors, manage the stress of life transitions, and take back control that the impact of trauma has in your daily life. I look forward to joining together with you in this journey of healing, self-care, and rebuilding.
