A bit about me:

With over 14 years of experience advocating for and working with adults, vulnerable youth, and their families, I have honed a comprehensive skill set through diverse experiences. My experience includes providing individual and group therapy sessions aimed at addressing and treating severe trauma as a clinical intern at a trauma-focused agency, advocating for child victims at a Children's Advocacy Center, and supporting families in crisis with The Georgia Department of Children and Family Services. Additionally, my experiences as a foster and adoptive mom enrich my practice with personal insight and deep empathy, enhancing my ability to connect with and support those I work with.

I hold space for:

Individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, Bereavement, Parental issues, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem challenges, and Religious Trauma

Credentials & Education:

Bachelor of Social Work from Eastern Kentucky University

Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University

Licensed Master Social Worker (GA) #MSW011991

I have received training in various therapeutic approaches and professional practices, including TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, MI, family therapy, attachment styles, cultural competency, crisis intervention, trauma systems therapy, and trauma treatment.

When I’m not in the Therapist’s Chair

I live just outside of Atlanta, GA, with my husband, five kids, and three dogs. In my free time, I enjoy family activities in the pool, buying plants, working on home projects, and chauffeuring my kids around town. I love to travel, especially to the beach, and have explored places like Cambodia, Thailand, Colombia, Mexico, Aruba, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, and many U.S. states. When it’s time to relax, I enjoy reading or listening to audiobooks and music, often with my cherished Black Shih Tzu, Bianca, by my side.
